| speaker choice help below $800 You might also consider the Von Schweikert VR-3. Little brother to the much-acclaimed VR-4, it's a fantastic full range speaker. Incredible bass, and very musical. There is a good review on this site. Used, it should fall right around your price r... | |
| Slight cracle from one channel of Jolida SJ302a I had a 302a a few years back... It developed a slight, intermittent crackling sound and, a few days later, the fuse blew out. Changed it out, and it played beautifully after that.I'd check the tubes first, that's most likely the culprit... but, f... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Aerius Speakers Thanks for all the suggestions... I recently downsized my system a bit, and am using a Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated (amplifier section is rated at 100wpc/8 ohms). This, I suspect, could be the problem...I have carpeted floors, but my ceilings a... | |
| "period interpretation" beethoven? Try Sir Roger Norrington and the London Classical Players. Benjamin Zander also has an "authentic" recording of Beethoven's 9th. Whether these "period interpretations" have really "benefitted" from scholarly work is a hotly debated topic. Nonethel... | |
| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR-3 Speaker I heartily agree with Entrope. If you have the space for these rather large speakers, and can live with their rather low aesthetics, the VR3's are fantastic SOUNDING speakers.I have been using the VR3's for about three months now. Given their size... | |
| High powered integrated amps under 1K - Help why not try the audio analogue puccini se? if i remember correctly, i think it doubles the power output of the standard puccini. both units are great sounding integrateds... i had a standard puccini for quite some time, and i really loved the soun... | |
| Solid state amps under 1000 i'd add the odyssey stratos to your short list. it has gotten very good reviews (reviewer's choice by soundstage), and should fall right in your price range. it is a black box design, but it is built like a tank, and quite elegant IMHO. if you cal... | |
| Best Full Range Speaker, 750- 1k Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Unsound, you are correct, I should probably have used the term "floorstander" instead of "full range."I have never actually heard the Thiel's, but am seriously considering doing some auditioning now. Is the g... | |
| Power Amp Neeed -- PLEASE HELP prevent mistake. Slightly below your price point, there are three amps that have been VERY highly regarded: (1) the Odyssey Stratos (~$800 used with the upgrades), (2) the Belles 150A Hot Rod (~$950), and (3) Monarchy Audio's SM-70 (use two as monoblocks) and SE-1... | |

| Cableplex?Anybody heard of them? Chazzbo,I have two sets of IC's from Matt (the Cableplex guy). First, he's a great guy to deal with. Very professional and courteous. Second, the IC's are a GREAT deal for the money. They will really kill anything out there in the under $100 range... | |
| Trigger Happy Negative Feedback Well, I e-mailed the guy privately, and tried to tell him that this was just not acceptable. He wasn't exactly receptive. Not hostile, or defensive, or rude about it, but he wrote:"I didn't say ANYTHING that wasn't true. I offered to buy your DAC ... | |
| Symphony Recommendation As far as the Beethoven symphonies go... I'd say the milestone recordings are Herbert von Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic, and Carlos Kleiber with the Vienna Philharmonic. You can't go wrong with either performance, and the Vienna and Berlin ... | |

| System for Yacht as far as the amp goes, i would highly recommend picking up a used audio analogue puccini se (or perhaps the audio refinement complete, which is very similar sounding). it's nice and compact, sounds absolutely fantastic, and is aesthetically pleas... |
