| Solid state amplifier $2K Used or New You should check out the Bryston and the Classe amplifier lines. I have owned both and found them to work well with many preamplifiers. I would say that the Classe amp seemed more musical and that the Bryston amp had a better bottom end in my syst... | |
| Bi-wireing Proac 2.5 John, I owned the ProAc 3.8's and i always bi-wired the speakers. At the time I used Kimber 8tc which was nice, relatively inexpensive cable that was setup in a shotgun configuration. I sold them because I was moving to a larger place with a small... | |
| Music trivia anyone? I believe that Blue Oyster Cult was known as Soft White Underbelly. | |
| Krell Kav300i for Audio Physic Virgo? I have heard the KAV 300i/Virgo setup at Sound by Singer and it was not bad. I drive my pair with a Cary V12/PSE HLS1 combination and I really enjoy the sound. I personally prefer tubes with the Virgos. A less expensive tube integrated like the Ro... | |
| Wadia with or without a preamp ? I have run my Wadia 830 direct and I have found the music to sound thin. Disks sound better, in my opinion, when run through a decent additional stage in my system which is based on a tube preamplifier and a tube amplifier. While I am sure that th... | |
| best tube preamp with bypass for HT I purchased the PSE HLS-1 Preamp a month ago and a I am very happy with its performance. It has a bypass for HT, a contour control for bass and treble, and a remote control. I would suggest that you give it a listen. Good Luck. | |

| absolute best component you ever owned Long ago I owned a Brazilian Rosewood Sota Star Saphire Turntable with a Sumiko Studio Arm and a Madrigal Carnagie One Cartridge. That was the absolute best component that I ever owned. It was the most musical. I have nice equipment now, but when ... | |
| Amps for Virgo : TUBE or SOLID? I amplify my Virgo's with the new Cary V-12 Tube Amplifier and the PSE Tube Preamplifier. I got them about two weeks ago and they are presently breaking in. They really sound nice. I have only had the Virgo's for a month. I just moved to a larger ... | |
| Sonus GP VS Vienna Mozart Last week I heard a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozart Speakers driven by a Bryston 4B and BP25 preamp at a dealer. The combination was very good. Solid imaging, reasonable bass response, clean midrange. The speaker above the Mozart, the Bethoven, wa... | |
| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS I have heard the Audio Physic Step and thought that it was a great sounding small speaker. It is limited by the fact that the woofer is very small and can handle only so much power before bottoming out. If you do not listen to loud music it may be... |
