High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
I had the opportunity to chat with the head of the service department at said high end company and he had some interesting insight I thought I would share. He said that they have tried all the available aftermarket specialty fuses and that while t... 
High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
A little more research has produced three brands: Hifi Tuning (which now has a silver model), Isoclear (sp?) and Furtech. Any reason to pick one over the others? 
Phono stages belong to which tier?
Anyone have information about the new Parasound JC-3? For $2K it could be a nice unit. 
What's your favorite MFSL
Right now, Beck "Sea Change" 
Don't you love it when this happens?
Love "Jeepy". One of the best recorded acoustic bass LP's in my view. Very spontaneous feel for a studio album. I love the way Marsalis steps/swings away from the microphone occasionally--seems like the three of them are just having a blast. Some ... 
Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries
I was just over at the home inspection today and think I can make the DA-1.1's work in the space--so Michael you can relax! I do feel that the DA-RMa's may end up being a better fit and will discuss this with Lou. My preference is to stay within t... 
Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries
Thanks for your responses so far--some models mentioned here that I've never heard of so that is welcome. Kana--my current speakers are fabulous and I never thought I would part with them but we have put an offer in on a home where my listening ro... 
Best Used CD Player Under $500?
Thanks all. I found some money and can now spend up to $750. Other suggestions? Also, a friend wants to get into the act and has $1500 to throw at a player. The rest of the system is Krell 300si integrated and PSB Synchrony One's. Thoughts? Thanks! 
Whest ps.30r
Robm1: Can you comment in greater detail about your experience going from the PS.30R to the RDT version? Did you get to swap in the RDT without changing anything else in your system? How would you describe the performance gains relative to the ext... 
Whest ps.30r
I'd be curious if anyone has used both the single ended and balanced outputs on the PS30R and whether there is a noticeable difference. I've only used the single ended and thus have not heard the unit in balanced configuration. 
Whest ps.30r
Based on my experience in the same price range you will have a hard time doing "better" than the PS30R. You may find "different" but not necessarily "better". I ran the PS30R against several phonostages (ARC PH5, Acoustat PH1, EAR 834) and found i... 
Harbeth Compact 7-ES3 Speakers
I think your room is too square and too small to use a subwoofer. I ran a pair of Compact 7's in an 11 X 11 room for a while (not by choice) and there was barely enough space for them. Yours at 12 X 14 should be fine, but borderline. I would sell ... 
Audio Research DSI 450 vrs. HD 220 against all tu
Where can I find information or photos of the new DS450? Thanks! 
First Post, Looking to buy Amp& Pre, $7,000
If you are considering an ARC LS26 you should give the ARC SD135 serious consideration as a partner. Absolutely wonderful amp. 
Getting The Most Out Of My Scout
No, I have not heard it yet and am certainly open to a change of heart but it just baffles me that it could be that much better given what I've read about the design elements. I'll have to give it a spin and see for myself.
