| Are the performance of separates worth the price? If you are going to only have one source, (CD) then I would skip the preamp, get the best amp you can afford and go for a CD player that offers volume control such as the Audio Aero Capitole Mk 2, Wadia, Levinson or Accuphase. You will get a top n... | |
| Linn majik good or not? I have owned the Majik, and I think 850.00 used sounds a bit high. I have seen them more than a few times for 600.00. It's a good sounding integrated and has some beef to it so you feel like you've got something for your money. I don't think it's ... | |
| why distortion and what is the cure Fatparrot is right about tube amps clipping more pleasantly that solid state. | |
| AZ vs VD speaker cables & ics I don't have experience with the VD interconnects or speaker cables, but if you are looking for something with soul and speed, transaparncy etc... do check out Argent cables made by Ric Cummings of Argent Room Lens fame. His cables are the best I ... | |
| Wadia think about expensive CD Players ? I have compared different levels of players extensively. Say a Rotel 955 or NAD 302 compared to a Rega Planet, the Rega is clearly better, compare the Rega to a Wadia 860x, no contest the Wadia sounds a lot better. Now the comparison between the 2... | |
| Are Revel Salons too much? I don't know a lot about the Salons, but if they are like most speakers they aren't going to like being just off the wall. If you can't set your speakers up the way they need be you are certainly paying a lot for something that you will not realis... | |
| Best Integ'td Tube Amp w/ Silverline Sonata IIIs? How about the Art Audio Diavalo 13 watt integrated. Also I think that the Pass Aleph series amps sound great with the Sonatas. I use the Aleph 2s with my sonatas and it sounds great. With the higher sensitivity Sonata 3s you could get by with the ... | |
| AZ Tsunami vs Harmonic Tech Pro AC 11/ Fantasy 10 I've tried both (not the Fantasy 10 though), and I agree with the above post that the Audience Power Chord was better than both. I personally did not care for at all the HT Pro 11, on my Pass Aleph 2 amps I liked the stock cords better. | |
| B&W Nautil 802 and BAT VK150 SE blocks or others? If I still had my 150SEs, I would try them with a pair of Maggies, I would imagine that combo would be really great | |
| DVD recomendation I tried the Samsung with DVI into my Sony 57" vs. the Marantz DV4300 and in every regard (especially sound) I prefered the Marantz, just because it's got the DVI capability doesn't mean it's gonna be better. | |
| Need CDP opinions please You may want to check out the Audio Aero Prima. You can get one brand new for less than 2k and I personally think it tops the 860, which I used to own. | |
| 1st System - Help with cables I think that Acoustic Zen Satori is an especially good deal. It competes with some of the big boys and has a real down to earth price. Read the review in Stereophile about it. It can be had at your price on the used market. | |
| CD Sound?? I read a review on 6 moons that said that the black CDRs sounded best. I ordered a spindle to try out from CDW.com. They were Memorex, and I do think they sound better than the average TDK or Fuji cheap CDRs, but they aren't as good as Mitsui Gold... | |
| Best sounding player under $3500 Used ? The Audio Aero Prima is one of the best sounding players period and it can be had for less than 2k new. | |
| The best wall construction I would put in another reccomendation for Rives. If I would have known about their service about 2 years ago when I built my own room it would have been worth every penny of their fees to help me realise the best acoutics possible in my space. It ... |
