| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.... between the need for a gold-plated toilet seat and one made of the usual materials designed for the average derriere. Ripping people off for a living just to get ahead in life is incompatible with the purpose of great mu... | |
| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? As to the singular argument- if you can afford it, it's your decision, andmore power to you-As long as you made your prodigious wealth honestly and show an equal amount of compassion and empathy in helping those less fortunate, by all means buy wh... | |
| New Wilson - Wamm Master Getting BACK to the subject of the Wilson Audio WAMM's, the online review from the Absolute Sound is out, and it is (no surprise here) filled with superlatives.They even love the design without the slightest reservation, which i find a bit odd. I... | |
| Pass labs aleph 0 monoblocks .... convert voltage? The factory can convert the voltage-I posed the same question to themin an email, BUT- it could get really expensive. They can also replace any other parts that don't testwell and get the amp to work like new again.OTOH if the amp is already work... | |
| New Wilson - Wamm Master The original WAMM's looked better (4-piece system) and did sound really good - I heard them in a pretty good sized room. More recentlyI got to hear the Alexandria-1 and thought IT was very good as well.Over and above (perhaps) the XLF, I don't g... | |
| Pass Labs upgrade? I'M quite happy with what i already have- ML-53 Mono's. You get a lot of power and very pure sound, and they get warm but not too hot. Plus they weigh a "manageable" 135 lbs. OTOH, the Pass XA-0.8series would have easily been my second choice; i ... | |
| A80 (RC MkII) or A810 - which one should I buy? - ANY INPUT IS WELCOME !! THE A80 is far superior as far as wow and flutter, transport stability, etc.But you may never use 30 inches per second to record or playback anything (except live music). Some of them do come with 7.5/15ipscapability and whether or not you can co... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound A little sour grapes here- your Adcom amplifier is a poor match for speakers that can reveal a lot of detail. If you can afford a better front end and a better amp, then a refined pair of speakers can perform as they should.OTOH, a pair of A/D/S ... | |
| Sound Anchor Stands for equipment As their name implies, they got started making really cost-effective speaker stands, not so much audio racks. They will make anything you want if you submit a drawing and/or dimensions, etc. and can even suggest modifications to your request as n... | |

| New Reel to Reel machines! Carrot, I only WISH there was a "nice amount" of content available, truly.But when i can get SACD'S for $20 or less (pristine recent recordings i really want at that), the cheapskate in me takes over. I have a Studer A810 along with an Otari, som... | |
| New Reel to Reel machines! Lewm, according to the link above, you can buy either 1.a master tape copy or 2.a vinyl record made from a 2nd generation master tape (or even a downloadable copy if you prefer). The tapes however are VERY expensive.I myself would actually prefer... | |
| Jeff Rowland Amplifiers I am biased in saying this, but sound-wise, Levinson, Rowland, AudioResearch,and several others are just about as good as anything out there. I don't believe that for ex. Dartzeel and similar more exotic brands CAN SOUND significantly better. Bu... | |
| ... Best Live Recordings ( other than Classical or Opera) on CD... DIANA KRALL- LIVE IN PARIS- very "live" sound, good balance of all of instruments- If you like her music of course. | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) HAVE you listened to B&W Matrix speakers?- the ones prior to the Nautilus models? They can be had in your price range- the 802's are nearly impossible to damage even at high volumes. -And with a Pass SE amp they sing at ANY volume you care to... |
