where can i find hospital grade IEC plug
$4.90 and $7, respectively. I have compared 10+ 3 prong plugs and the all are essentially the exact the same. As for the IEC's. if you look inside them, the P&S 4300 makes 7x more contact per male blade than any other IEC. Most "pinch" the mal... 
Warm sounding ss power amps
All of there amps, but the SE-100 Delux monoblock is amazing. 
Advice on AR The Complete with MSB Link
I remember all the posts from 4-6 months ago, and for a short period the market was flooded with them at How do they sound? Some people were claiming excellent results out of them stock. And what mods did you do? 
Puccini SE vs.Audio Refinement Complete
Thanks for the response, not many people have had the pleasure of a side by side comparison. I've even written to both the individual reviewers of the Puccini SE and Complete at Soundstage! and neither had heard the other, which I would have thoug... 
Monitors for Bryston 4B ST
Slingshot has brought up an good suggestion with the B&W's, and I have owned both 601 S2's and CDM1 NT's for a very short period. I think B&W is currently putting out excellent speakers for the money, that should please the widest range of... 
Monitors for Bryston 4B ST
I'm not sure where you live, how gigantic your listening room is, or, what you listen to, but why would you want to go anywhere near 115W peak for the Twins? JMR speakers hunger for refined, clean power(not that Bryston don't deliver that). In fac... 
Need Advice / Inexpensive 100W Amp
The Rotel 980BX is an excellent 120Wx2 amp. They regularly go used for $275-350. They are clean sounding and well balanced with a slightly forward sound that should be apprecited by college students (they love to blast it). I have one running my J... 
Anyone have a Kora Design 30?
Thanks for the 1st hand description. Sounds like the Design 30 is not for me. 
Audio Refine Complete vs. Puccini SE int
Thanks for responding you guys. I checked out the Passion components & kits a while ago and decided if I am going to go that that direction it is going to be the Edison 60 for it's versatility (SE, UL, 300B, etc) and overwhelmingly stellar rev... 
Antique Sound Lab Amps
Wow, Pretender, you move quickly! If you think that your speakers sound impressive now, wait until 200+ hours. A whole different level of performance and it doesn't stop there. Dekay suggested that I first try a Doc Bottlehead Foreplay tube pre-am... 
Antique Sound Lab Amps
I have also been looking at ASL amps for my JMR Twins mkII's the last few weeks. I wonder what's the sonic difference is between the MG-SI15 15 watt SE integrated (KT-88's) and the KI-15 15 watt SE integrated (6x6AS7's)? Too bad I can't find any d... 
JM REYNAUD MK2s vs TOTEM ARRO
I just plain missed the mark with your question. The Twins beg for really good equipment and reveal every weakness upstream from them, from recording to equipment. Not to mention they are 4 Ohm speakers which can be fairly hard for some amps/recei... 
JM REYNAUD MK2s vs TOTEM ARRO
I have the Twins mkII and am driving them w/ a Rotel RB-980BX(120 w) amp, Rotel RC-972 pre-amp, and a Denon DCM-460 5 disc carousel. Let me state that the Twins are some of the most amazing speakers aailable for under 1,500+ because of their unbel... 
Diy "recepies" for speaker wire anyone?
Of the many DIY speaker cable recipes, two stand out immediately as the most used, respected, and tested; Chris Venhaus' excellent Cat 5 as mentioned above (must be teflon, plenum doesn't assure this), and Jon Risch's Belden #89259 recipes (also i... 
Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360
I looked all the way back to to September in this forum and couldn't find a thread titled "good entry level transport". Please let who makes the CD carousel. Is it the Aiwa XC-37M?
