| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage after reading all of this (the review is quite good btw), i would suggest that if the newer speakers (G.mementos) are not CLEARLY better sounding than the original Guarneri's in just about every area, then something is seriously wrong at sonus fab... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig just as a side-bar to this question- WHAT IF the only BIG Improvements you could get over what you have on (let us say) redbook cd's- which i have the most of to begin with, is a LOUDER system, with more watts, more spl's, and so on? I.E.-i don't ... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's well i AM going to try a ps audio soloist premier (the thing that goes into the wall with the upgraded black outlet that got a favorable review) to feed the amps. a rep at ps audio assured me that it does not limit current. even though the amplifi... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's i would like to add an additional comment if i may to this thread-As i sit down to listen to music, (even to this day) i come away still amazed at how clean and clear and Dynamic my system sounds, with ML-33H's driving the von schweikert VR9's. ev... |
