| Best pre-owned 2-channel amp for under $2000?? I would be very careful here -- your Onkyo is a great machine... Period I have an Onkyo 905 using Lexicon Monos / with B&W 800s fronts / 802s sides / htm1d center / Sony BdV5000 Blu ray / middle high end cables & power cords / Furman IT 15... | |
| Best interconnect for bass only Listen & heed 1st response---Vandermeulen---I wish I had all the money I wasted on this kind of pursuit:-( | |
| MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's Makes one really wonder---is it the 10 to 20k CD Players that make a diff, or is it the quality of the CD itself that makes most of the diff? | |
| Do you ever wonder? Norah Jones is simply "angelic." She is articulate, smooth, beautiful and simply one of the best female artists around. One can get "lost" in her music and her talent is "top tier." But, your question simply shows the "magic" of music in that we a... | |

| Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore? Speaking to the seller (I really only purchase items) is a must for me (especially high-ticket items). | |
| BALANCED VS UNBALANCED Bob----great reference to share with us---thank you! | |
| BAT SS amps VS Ayre MX-R I did a home audition of the MXRs with B&W 800Ns and found my current Lexicon 312 and 501 Monos MUCH better. I could not wait to disconnect the Ayre. | |
| Is it Amps, Preamps, cables, etc. OR Technology??? Kyomi--thanks for your advice---I too find it very difficult to believe that amps do not make a "noticeable" difference which is why I started this thread--my tech guy absolutely did not want to hook the amps through the pre-outs due to it "not ma... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray All the power cord, cable and interconnect discourse is simply "hype." The technology of the receiver or preamp are what counts--and the quality of the speakers---put your money here. To hear this for yourself---go to a good high-end audio shop th... |
