| 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... | |
| Rowland Consonance preamp needs a phono preamp as an owner of a rowland consonance i highly recommend the phono stage.i have a VPI Aries turntable with a Benz M09 MC cartridge and records soundvery good- plus the phono pre is VERY quiet. it is easy to install and has adjustments for MM/MC and ... | |
| Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos? ok, i will write a "review" based on everything i have read, and the fact that i own levinson 33H amplifiers. the new amps are very fast- they respond quickly to the attack of notes no matter how loud and complex the sound might be. they have seem... | |
| Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos? you would think SOMEONE- even audio dealers- would come forward and give their impressions of these amplifiers by now- they've been out for over two years already.the guy on hometheater (the only review on the net) can have his billy joel records ... | |
| California Audio Show ths wknd bttr than expected would someone attending this show please let me know if the Levinson #53 monoblocks are playing in one of the rooms? IF SO, can i get some CANDID impressions on their sound? i am very interested in what M.Levinson has accomplished beyond the perfo... | |
| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage wilson watt puppies. surround sound without extra speakers in the room. | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Let me start by saying i too love PASS equipment. however, for example Rowland amplifiers run cooler, are more efficient, and IMHO bridge the gap between tube and solid state, similar to pass (Aleph) amps, and sound quite similar to one another. t... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. let me confuse the issue somewhat if i may. after many years of upgrading and changing out one piece of equipment for another, i finally got a pair of B&W 801s3speakers, at one time considered the "audio end of the road" and my dream come true... | |
| Best Interconnects there are some Transparent REFERENCE-MM CABLES (RCA) for sale.these are one step below OPUS but you get IMHO 95% of the performanceof carbon fiber. PLUS you can get them calibrated for your systemas well- not a bad idea if you don't anticipate mak... | |
| What is Musicality? i believe music can be experienced on as many different levels as there are levels of consciousness pertaining to our 1.senses 2.our cognitive ablilities as well as 3.our emotional perceptions. while reading these responses to the question i thoug... | |
| recommended sacd list? hi, yes, there are 2900 or so sacd's under classical/amazon.com alone, 6000if you include other vendors. i am getting a few more web sites to consider like "soundstage.com" and "cd universe". but even at the u-verse, if a customer hasn't reviewed ... | |
| Something Vintage i just wish i still had some of my old Lafayette catalogs so i could look at all of the pictures and descriptions of vintage gear. when you're 15 yo even $500 for a Reel-to-Reel (or maybe a Crown international deck for $1500!) seemed so out of rea... |
