| What's the best Phono preamp under $1000?? The Clearaudio "Basic" is just so musical (and versatile). | |
| Which Amps for Audio Artistry Beethoven? Used to own the Dvoraks which LOVED the BEL Mk-Vs.AA speakers, IMO, sound better with solid-state. | |
| Counterfeit Electronics?? Could this stuff be stolen (with altered Ser #) not counterfeit? | |
| What's likely to go wrong with a used CD player? Hello Gene,I recently sold a Rega Appolo (damn fine sound!).Wanted to be ready for Dolby True HD (way underestimated its transition from vaporware to reality).Would love to hear the Saturn (which has quasi-balanced outputs).As for your question, w... | |
| The most important word of advise? What kind of listening do you do?If you can only squeeze in an hour or two after work, you might want a system that is a little flashy and hyped.By the time listening fatigue sets in, you're session will be done.If you spend hours-on-end during th... | |
| Tube or Solid State Preamp- BAT or AR I've owned eqipment from all makers you mention.Sonically, I find them all worthy.Only advice is to learn about impedance matching and go with the best fit. The rest is up to your ears... | |

| Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2? Just purchased a two-bay equipment rack from Guitar Center.This MDF box has room for two full size (19" wide)components.My Toshiba A35 fits in nicely.I bought a 3.5" X 19" metal "fill strip" to cover the top slot and laid a 1" dense foam rubber ma... | |
| Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2? My HD-A35 is also quite noisy.I think it is an internal hard drive.Remember: HD players are more computer than DVD player. | |
| Shunyata Hydra I think my response is a little simplistic.The cabinet is bigger and there is more "magic gook" (the stuff that makes it sound good) inside.And let's not forget the cryoed premium outlets. The value of the 4, 6, 8 is that you don't have to purchas... | |
| Shunyata Hydra The six has two more A/C plugs. | |
| Jethro Tull...any cd's to stay away from? My early issue Aqualung CD is the worst sounding I own.I think they used the master that was equalized for LPs.A real stinker. | |
| Suggestion VT100 MKIII with LS9 Pre-AMP I used this combination for about three years.I was very satisfied.The VT-100 III is a wonderful tube amp and the LS-9 is very musical.When you can, upgrade the LS-9 to a preamp that uses 6H30 supertube (LS-25 II or REF 2 MK-II).Also, I'd switch t... | |
| Looking for speakers with soundstage depth Halifax: I agree about the Thiel 1.6s -great soundstage!For some reason, these are a tough sell to the common audiophile.I think it's the old-wives-tale about Thiels being harsh/strident in the treble.Thiels are as harsh or smooth as the component... |
