| New CDP or new DAC? Go with a DAC paired with your NAD CDP. The first CDP that I had in my big rig was a Naim CDX. I then moved on to a Doge 6 tube CDP. Both players, however, were smoked by the combination of an Oppo DV-980h ($179) paired with a vintage California A... | |
| Best speakers for my system Very generally speaking, I think that Revel speakers would match well with your Levinson gear, they are made by the same company. I've been impressed with every Revel speaker that I have heard, I own a pair of their Performa F30's. Look at their n... | |

| Why I like my home system better than live music I always get a chuckle out of audiophiles who think that their systems actually sounds better than real live music. You must not leave your homes and listen to live music very often. Elizabeth makes valid points about smoke, drunks etc, but when i... | |

| managable and affordable indoor FM antenna I wanted to resurrect this thread as I have been searching for an antenna solution that works as well. I've tried many antennas without any luck, including an outdoor antenna similar to this one which I tried on both of my tuners in a variety of i... | |
| Cheap Tweak..Mass Loading I have a 15lb bag of sand/BB mixture sitting on my Oppo Universal Player and 12lbs of lead shot sitting on my CAL Sigma DAC. The additional mass made a huge improvement in the dynamics & soundstaging in my system. This is a tweak that works!! | |
| Pangea power cords Philly-those are all very good points, and please let us know what you think of the 14SE. BTW I broke my cords in on my refrigerator for a week and a half before plugging them into my system. I found two 3 prong/IEC adaptors cheap from an electron... | |
| Pangea power cords "The Pangea AC9 was too dark sounding and obscured details on each component i tried it on"Funny, I found the opposite to be true in my system. I switched out a Morrow MAP2 (which I hold in high regard)for the AC9 in my Bryston 4B-ST and my system... | |
| Speakers for Onkyo A-9555 Integrated Thanks for the kind recommendations everyone. Programmergeek, I listen to 80% jazz & standards/20% classical. Very little rock these days. I'm looking for a speaker that I can live with for a good while. The system is going into a common area ... | |
| Excellent affordable cables and interconnects. I have Morrow Audio 2 Series cables, interconnects & cords in both of my systems, they are very affordable and I can highly recommend them. In fact the Morrow cables replaced Kimber Select cables & cords that were many times more expensive... | |
| Kimber Select Sonics The Hero was the first interconnect that I used when putting my system together. After that I moved up to KS-1030. The 1030 certainly had more bass authority than the Hero and produced a wider soundstage, however I found the Select to be a bit mud... | |
| Speakers for Onkyo A-9555 Integrated Thanks for the responses. There are not many high end audio retailers within a two hour drive of my home, so my opportunities to listen to a wide range of speakers is very limited. That's why I find A'gon such a great resource, first hand accounts... | |
| Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston FWIW, I have work in the wine industry for over 15 years now and I can tell you that the wine rags, especially Wine Spectator, are notoriously pay-for-play. Advertise and you get a lot of your products reviewed. | |
| having problems with music streamer/windows? I have a Streamer+, and it had always worked with all of my computers without issue. It sounds like your unit may have some type of major malfunction. You should contact HRT support and discuss the issue with them directly. I looked up their conta... |
