| Quality Rock/Pop CD recordings I would suggest Reckoning by the Grateful Dead. It is a collection of tunes from their live acoustic sets from their split acoustic/electric sets in the early 80's. They also released an album called Dead Set which is a collection of tunes from th... | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 Thank you for sharing your impressions. I was there on Friday as well and for the most part enjoyed my stay. I had the opportunity to speak with some of the manufacturers and found them all to be gracious. I found two presenters and their systems ... | |
| Which Amp Would You Buy I have owned both amplifiers and they are both price/performance leaders. I think that the answer depends on the speakers that they will be driving. If the speakers tend to be bright I would suggest the Aragon. If the speakers need some bloom I wo... | |
| Nautilus owners upgrade to what? I owned a pair of N803's and recently sold them to go back to a speaker that I owned a few years ago and wound up missing more than I thought I would, the ProAc 3.8's. The B&W's were more detailed than the ProAc's, but the ProAc's are much mor... | |
| Cary 303; Removing the feet I have Navcom Silencers placed directly under the funky Cary 303/200 feet. I hear slightly better bass response, a slightly clearer midrange, and a small improvement in high frequency extension. This is the same that I hear whenever I put these Na... | |
| Which CD Players Are both Warm and Detailed I would suggest a used Cary 303 CD player. They can be found on Audiogon for under $1500. It has a great combination of detail and warmness. You will hear everything without feeling a need to turn it down or turn it off. A great CD player. IMHO. | |
| Nautilus 801's- Cheaper Amplification I have heard the N801's driven by an Aragon 8008BB with very nice results. The amp seemed to tame the sometimes too forward for my taste tweeter. I would assume that the Bryston amplifier line would be a good choice as well, especially if you pref... | |

| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? I would agree with Pcs about Spica. They made amazing speakers that were truly underpriced in comparison to what was offered when they were in business. I owned a pair of Spica TC-50's in the late 80's. They were wonderful. I then purchased a pair... | |
| B&W 803 vs. 804 I have owned the 803's and I listened to both the 803 and 804 extensively before making my decision. The 803 is not only fuller in the bass, it presents a better midrange as well. The 804 seemed brighter because of the comparative fullness that th... | |
| HDCD: What do you like? I own a Cary 303/200 CD player and believe that with this CD player there is no comparison between HDCD encoded disks and non-HDCD encoded disks. The HDCD CD's do not sound like recorded events, they sound as if the musicians are in my living room... | |
| Need advice on Cary 303-200: best power cord, etc. I own the Cary 303/200 and it has been in my system for about five months. I have had a similar positive experience with CD's that are HDCD encoded. They sound as close to live performance as any recording has presented itself in my system. The HD... | |
| best used speaker for around 2500? I would suggest that you listen to a pair of ProAc 2.5 speakers. They are very musical and work well with tube equipment. They retail for $4500 and I have seen them offered on Audiogon for around $2500. | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned It has been my experience that short of a cash transaction, one that involves United States Postal Money Orders are the next best thing. They cost 90 cents and can be made out up to $750. You can cash them at the post office or deposit them into y... | |
| Comments on Cary 303 CD Player I own the Cary 303/200 and have had it in my system for a few months. For the money, I would think that you would be able to find a new one with a 10-15 percent discount, you will not regret owning this player. I use the upsampling on all disks th... |
