| wadia 830 compared to cary 303/200 I owned both CD players and without a doubt the Wadia 830 is, in my opinion, superior in every musical way to the Cary CD 303/200. Better highs, better lows, much-much better midrange, greater dynamics, greater resolution, and list goes on and on.... | |
| Anyone at the Stereophile show I was most impressed with the Hyperion speakers. I was at the show early Friday before the large crowds started to form and was able to spend quite a bit of time listening in the Hyperion room. I found the speakers to be very dynamic with great de... | |
| Pass Lab x2.5 preamp owners -- plse help I am a Pass Labs X2.5 preamplifier owner, as well as a Pass Labs 250.5 amplifier owner, and in my system the Pass components are detailed, but rather warm sounding. If I remember correctly your prior preamp could be configured as a passive preamp.... | |
| Sunfire vs. Definitive Technology subwoofers Warrenh, actually the True Subwoofer Solitare EQ subwoofer that I had in my system is the new version of the Sunfire Architectural series, that is one active woofer without the passive radiators that the non-archetectural Sunfire subwoofers posses... | |

| What are we listening to tonight? That Morcheeba album is a great one. I am listening to the new Jack Johnson album. Not as good as his last one, but it has some killer cuts (check out cut number 7). Also the new Mars Volta album. | |

| Anyone using a Pass 250.5? I am using a Pass 250.5 in my system. I also use the Pass X2.5 Preamp. This amp/preamp combination replaced a BAT VK500/VK40 combination. No Comparison, the Pass Labs components, to me, are more enjoyable to listen to. Very detailed, yet easy to l... | |
| ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp It is my understanding that the various ProAc Response speakers were originally voiced using an Audio Research VT100 Amplifier. At least that is what has been written in various audio forums. When I owned the ProAc 3.8's I had very good luck with ... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll The answer to your post question is yes. I have at times paid full asking price for components on Audiogon. This has only happened when the asking price is so low that I feel confident that if I want to resell the item that I will have no problem ... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Hello, I have had the opportunity to hear the Harbeths that you own and was very impressed with them. My suggestion, as long as you have listened to others in and above the price range and still find the Harbeths equal to or better than most, is t... | |
| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner I have the Polk XM radio receiver in my system hooked up via RCA digital output to my NorthStar 192 DAC. The sonics are very good, but the seemingly endless choices of commercial free music stations is exceptional. Great component. | |
| Noise from REL Stadium III Sub If you are connecting the REL to an amplifier with the provided spectron cable it may be that your amplifier is sending back feedback into the connection. I had this happen with a BAT VK200 and a REL Storm III Subwoofer. I believe that the term is... | |
| Recommend CD player To clarify matters. There are a number of North Star 192 Combination units available on Audiogon for under $3000. The asking prices are around $2500. There are also a number of North Star 192 Combination units that are being offered with warrantee... | |
| Recommend CD player I would recommend the North Star 192 Dac and Transport. Very smooth combination with detail I never thought possible without the harsh digital glare that I have experienced in other high end digital front ends. I have owned Wadia, Cary, Musical Fi... |
