| Keith Jarrett &Charlie Haden: Last Dance. Stellar. Not much vocalizing from Keith on the album. However, there is some for sure as you would expect from Keith. Excellent album. | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? I think there is some heavy-duty "marketing" going on with Sjofn's specs. A standmounter with a 5.5" driver and a small-moderate sized cabinet is not going to do 28Hz on the bottom. It may have a very impressive low end, but I find that specificat... | |
| Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation CP-6311 are not hard to drive. I've heard them very successfully driven by a PrimaLuna ProLogue Two, so the better PrimaLuna amps would work very well. A wide variety of tube amps should drive these fairly easily.Disclosure: We're dealers for both... | |
| Help select integrated 2 channel amp under 1000 I'll second Paraneer's suggestion of the Marantz PM8004. Preouts for the sub, MM phono and remote. | |
| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? I think I would say that I prefer neutrality, but the sonics of my room can be somewhat cooler, so I prefer warmer components. However, warmer components in a more neutral sounding room might leave me wanting. It's all about synergy between the co... | |
| just starting - mac vs. windows computer source? If you were to go the Windows route, I'd recommend dBpoweramp as a ripper. While EAC is excellent, dBpoweramp is very good as well and much more user friendly. | |
| just starting - mac vs. windows computer source? Great advice from Lewinskih01. I absolutely agree.A good USB to S/PDIF converter, IMO, is required to get the best sound. There are many great options available (April Music Stello U3, a few from Bel Canto, KingRex, etc) are just a number of good ... | |
| The most overlooked album Sorry, doesn't work at all for me either. | |
| Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates? The Bel Canto S300i is a good integrated, but the PRe3 and REF500S would be a substantial step up. If you're getting out of analogue, then you could definitely consider getting rid of the PRe3 and use a Bel Canto DAC directly into an amp like the ... | |

| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature Brownsfan is making good suggestions. Unfortunately, in my opinion, a home theatre receiver won't bring out the best in these speakers like a very good quality 2-channel setup will give you. Your Onyko receiver will have enough power to bring thes... | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Setting with B&W 805S Sorry, but nobody can possibly answer this. Bass is so dependent on the room. Where the bass rolls off with the 805's in your room will be very different than in another room. Then, where you place the sub in that room will make a huge difference ... | |
| what would you change if anything, in this set up? The MAC's USB as a source is the weak link on your digital. Also, the USB input on the Bel Canto DAC is an older implementation on an otherwise excellent DAC. The SPDIF inputs on this DAC are definitely superior to the USB input. If you use a good... | |
| My Wyred4Sound DAC1 Sounds Better then my Oppo 95 As much as the Oppo BDP-95 is an excellent piece, it shouldn't be expected to sound as good as a standalone DAC at the same price. | |
| Amp for Usher BE-20 ? Thuan98, you hardly have any break-in time on them. Give them a few hundred hours of play before you start worrying too much about how they sound. |
