| The Good, The Bad and the Ugly * Adcom GFP-565 preamplifier - Circa 1992. Very veiled. replaced with a Classe 6. Hoochie Mama!* Magnepan SMG - Circa 1986. What a stinker. Didn't know how bad it was until compared to a Conrad-Johnson Synthesis floor stander.* A round bubble leve... | |
| Thiel CS1.6 Has anyone ever substituted a new woofer for the original? The Thiel 1.6 is one of the finest speakers I've ever heard/owned. Its only shortcoming is bass response. When used in a small room, it won't leave you wanting. Pair it with a KEF's KC62 subwoofer (again, in a smaller room) and you've got someth... | |
| Need help on a new CD/SACD player Whatever you like, don't buy unless you can also purchase a replacement laser assembly at the same time. | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk @verdantaudio - Those are some excellent choices (especially MBL). Also, Magnapan. | |
| Where to locate Equipment? Directly behind my speakers is a large closet. If my house had more storage space, I'd clear out the closet, move electronics, and run speaker wire through the wall. It would look better too. The sound works as-is so I don't sweat it too much. | |

| Someone please talk me out of this Are you sure J. Atkinson wasn't talking about KEF Maidstones as the "Perfect Speaker"? | |

| Classical Top Five All of the "Fifths" are great but the music I heard atop Mt. Olympus was created by Alan Hovhaness. | |

| Building a house It dawned on me that if you are setting up a permanent home-theater (i.e. will always be in same location), you should probably put some electrical outlets in the floor where your seating will be. Modern HT chairs have USB outlets, motors and regu... | |
| Dunlavy resurrection? If you want to know what's special about Dunlavy speakers, click on the link and goto the bottom of the page to the "waterfall" plot.This is the cleanest I've seen (a late-gen Wilson Watt had a similarly clean graph albiet with a lower amplitude).... | |
| What is a reasonable discount from MSRP from a local dealer? I remember in the '70s and '80s that 30% off was the norm. Sure, there was a "list price" but NOBODY was charging it. This may have applied only to the mid-fi market (didn't start buying Audio Research until the '90s). These days, nobody gives "st... | |
| Dunlavy resurrection? Looks like the question is: How much maintenance are you willing to do for great sound? We know the requirements of tube amps, i.e., tubes wear out and need replacing. Is great sound worth swapping out tweeters every year or so? I still remember m... | |
| Best blue ray player on market? If you're talking about ebay, go down the left option column and click on "Sold items". Next, go to top-of-page and type "Oppo 205", This will show only sold units and what people paid. BTW, the market seems to be cooling a bit. |
