| Las Vegas Ok, the first meeting of the new Vegas audio club will be on August 3rd (which falls on a Saturday) at my place. Meeting time has yet to be determined. Seating is limited (4-5 people) so act accordingly, please. There are already 3 people includin... | |
| Best Metal Vinyl Album I truly believe we audiophiles need to continue to stress the desire for good sound which need to result from the foundational recording.That's a very valid point. Hopefully the industry, or at least a part of it will take note and act accordingly... | |
| Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions I don't care for lp gear, but it looks like they've cornered the market on this particular cartridge. | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. Ct0517, thank you for the detailed explanation! If I didn't already get the JBL S4700s late last year (with 15" woofers,) I would have bought the 801s, and it sounds like the Series 3 are the way to go. Again, hell of a deal on the used market! | |
| Bryston BP-26 or Parasound Halo JC 2 preamp?? Pretty much, 2bz. | |
| Bryston BP-26 or Parasound Halo JC 2 preamp?? Like I said, harsh could mean you don't like a lot of presence and maybe there was a bit too much detail for you. I haven't heard the BAT preamp so I can't comment on that one. I bet it's a good unit, though... | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. What do you make of the anniversary edition? Same as the 2's? Or 3's? Or better than both? | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. @ Zenblaster: Wow, $1500, that's quite a bargain. That's a lot of speaker for the money. But yeah, an investment in big amps and what have you is necessary. | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? And I don't think that Emotiva will wipe out or make a mockery of high end audio. People seem to think so, but I don't see any evidence, really. | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? Emotiva...mid fi, or upper mid fi stuff, really. But yeah, good for the money. I think a lot of people are exaggerating when it comes to sound and in comparison to many high end brands. Probably because of the low price, high power, and because it... | |
| Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them. Ok, cool, sounds good. Audyssey sounds interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them. Ok, cool, sounds good. Good luck with that. Speaking of Onkyo, why not this preamp from them?http://us.onkyo.com/Products/model.php?m=P-3000R&class=Reference&source=prodClass | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. They're definitely classics. I think it's the biggest selling high end speaker of all time? Whether they're relevant is entirely up to you. | |
| Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them. Bo1972: Thanks for the info. Very interesting that it beats the XP-20. It's also a lot less expensive! How's the phono section on the Onkyo? | |
