| Opinions Please - my next speaker $5 to $10K used the EGG's sound good Anywhere, FULL RANGE, and can be placed 2-3ft. from the back wall. BUT... i would get some good cables for them. forget about Wilson speakers unless you can place them Exactly where they sound the best- AND THEN there's system... | |
| Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II Pops, it pains me somewhat to add another comment to this thread, but IF youget a really good piano recording- let's say Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (everyone likes the B-MLS, don't they?) and compare the sound of the andra's and the thiels, i do... | |

| What I learned on Audiogon This Year i learned that hi-rez files on the internet are the latest and greatest thing, but i am still confused on how to get them to come out of MY speakers. trying a search on the forums doesn't come up with much of anything. SO, do i get a Mac Mini, a S... | |
| Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II Since your musical interests are mostly R&R it is difficult to recommend (or not)speakers that are designed to be accurate in timbre on acoustic piano, strings,and other acoustic instruments. the Andra's CAN be played very loud however-each ca... | |
| to SACD or not as much as i believe the sony 5400 is a good player, and the modwright upgrade is a good idea as well, i will never understand how anyone can confidently state that "it takes months" for something to break in. i've just never bought anything that ... | |
| Have you ever got emotionally attached i'm still holding on to my 36 inch ANALOG television set, with its wood veneer cabinet, built in amp and speakers, and a glass-enclosed two-shelf storagefor vcr/dvd players. for me, the color rendition on it makes up for the small amount of defini... | |
| Finally Heard the Mark Levinson 53 Amps i want to clarify that the dealer did not bring over the STOCK CORDS that came with the amplifiers, since they thought my ML-33H's had detachable cords (they don't) and were going to use those. so at the last minute they used some utility cords (a... | |
| Finally Heard the Mark Levinson 53 Amps TO CONTINUE-(earlier i couldn't seem to enter any more words past "bit" )--if you like the Levinson Reference Sound- to me it's very neutral neither tubey or dry- then the 53's simply continue along the same line. these amps had very few hours on ... | |
| Opinions - The Absolute Sound IF YOU DREAM OF-1. driving a porsche, buy a car magazine.2. taking pictures with a leica, buy a photography magazine.3. fiddling around with big chunks of audio components, buy an audio magazine. NOTICE i did not mention anything about music appr... | |
| Pass Labs XA200.5 i don't like to post negative opinions except when it comes to a product i have considered buying for myself a hundred times... also, looking at the design of past and present Pass preamps and integrated amps, they are exactly the kind of function... | |
| Pass Labs XA200.5 my experience with pass amplifiers has only been with the ALEPH-3 and the ALEPH 1.2 monoblocks. i like the aleph design much more than the present cosmetics. but soundwise the aleph's were some of the best solid state amps ever made. for example, ... | |
| Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos? thanks to everyone for their responses (especially SGR). i wonder how their RECENT repair record has been for levinson customers. if this situation has not improved, then (unfortunately) i would no longer be inclined to finance a pair of $50K ampl... | |
| Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos? Hi SGR, would you please tell me what (R)eference amplifiers YOU would buy (cost being a consideration but sound being the most important) ? they would have to be as close to "keepers" as you could get, regardless of the introduction of new techno... | |
| Wilson Audio- The rest of the story as much as i am blown away by the build quality of wilson speakers and the prestige of owning them, i have always found other speakers that far exceed them in musical presentation. so much so that it is unlikely i will EVER end up with a pair of w... |
