| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? Years ago I owned the original B&W Nautilus 800, the pre diamond tweeter version. Like them in the shop but could never get them to image well. May have been the 9x13x8 room or the c-j tube amps. Eventually replaced them with Wilson Watt-Pu... | |
| PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model Got a bit weary reading the repetitive responses so forgive me if this was said.I think we’d all agree PS Audio has moved upscale with their product line. And they are expanding, into speakers. All of this puts them in direct competition with othe... | |

| What a sad world we now live in....... Oh please... this is to easy, don't set foot in Walmart. | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Just read Larry's comment above. I would add, with a bit of effort, you don't need to pay full price for Nordost cables. And, most high end models are available cheaper yet on the used market. But, to Larry's comment... In the end it's about yo... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Not to muddy the waters of this excellent report but add a suggestion to others and their budgets... there has been no mention of the fine Nordost Tyr 2 model. My dealer, who has a great ear and listens to this stuff all day long, characterized t... | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... Some good friends of mine are owners/designers of a highly respected vacuum tube amplifier manufacturing company you know. Not believing all the hokum, I was conducting a personal shootout of power cables on one of their premier amps and found th... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? I love Crutchfield for what they do. My go to for their stuff. Sure beats Best Buy. That said... nice try on this one. Takes me hours of listening to decide. The real question... is it working for some customers. | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Conrad-Johnson. I’m surprised there is so little mention here. I’ve owned their products for more than thirty years with no problems whatsoever. The availability of service is a huge issue for some of these brands. c-j will service anything they’v... | |
| Speakers positionning Another factor to consider is the space between the speakers. In general, the farther apart the are, the more toe in may be needed. Hard to imagine, for instance, that speakers 12 feet apart sound their best with no toe in. Each of us has their... | |
| 84k speakers... Big disappointment Have a 2018 Audi S5 and the B&O stereo is fabulous. Better than any Merc or Lexus I’ve owned. | |
| best preamps Conrad-Johnson GAT Pre and the new ART amps. Superb.Enjoy. | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ oldschool1948... since you're in the DC area, JS Audio in Bethesda is an excellent dealer offering a number of the fine brands mentioned here. I've felt with them for years and still do now, from Florida. | |
| Question for tube aficionados Hi Folks...Need to correct almarg and raindance about those grid resistors. I was in touch with Jeff Fischel, now heading up c-j, about those PV-11 grid resistors. Apparently the sources the previous posters used were wrong. Here is his reply to... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! How about YES and NO. Yes it's about better sound vs. Redbook CDs. And No... of course it's about making money for content and software owners. There's no free lunch. The question for all and each of us is this free sound improvement worth the... |
