| Replace my B&W 802's? the matrix-802-s3 is one of the best speakers B&W has ever produced. placed on some sound-anchors, with a maughn box (bass alignment filter), you can (almost) forget about what else is out there (almost) forever. i want to use the word "perfec... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 7 & Model 5 Upgrade i also had at one time (before ICE-power) asked if JRDG could further-improve my consonance preamp, which was already upgraded with a new line stage module years ago (the sound opened up and got alot clearer and only cost $450 (!) INCLUDING 2 sorb... | |
| Reel 2 Reel not to brag (i don't even have two of them hooked up to anything) but i have FIVE, including a teac A-6100 two-track master recorder, a teac x-2000R, a teac x-2000M, a tascam br-20, and an otari MX-55N. almost bought a nagra-D-II on e-bay but chi... | |
| The Most Realistic Speaker Technology? there is no "most realistic speaker", only most realistic systems. and imho there are two basic types of "realism"-1. up front and in your face (exciting sounding) and2. laid back "sense of ease" effortless sounding.one may be fatiguing after awhi... | |
| Nitty Gritty Mini Pro 2 vs the competition even if you could clean 95%+ of the dirt out of the grooves, it still has to go back into the record sleeve. i have an older nitty gritty machine, which turns and vacuums one side at a time. BUT, i have a terrific if quite basic nylon brush which ... | |
| Mark levinson 30.5 and 31.5 vs todays cd playerrs dear mr. teajay, i have no problem having a disagreement with an experienced listener such as yourself. there is no question, as i stated previously, that some newer players (many of which cost upwards of $10,000) offer more detail and in many aud... | |

| CD Player break in period try a stock (inexpensive) belden power cord. i had a levinson 383 integrated amplifier and added an aftermarket cord, which resulted in a sound that was too bright (although it did add a bit more definition). when i put the stock cord back onto th... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 after years and years of auditioning wilson speakers, i have come to the conclusion that it is wisest NOT to compare them to other speakers. their designs, sonic attributes, and price points rarely coincide with what other loudspeaker companies ar... | |
| Am I getting it all? although an inexpensive turntable USED to sound quite a bit better than early cd's and cd players (even ones costing $5000), i find that now THEY'RE BOTH quite good. the one enduring advantage to vinyl is there are so many wonderful records that h... | |
| YOUR Favorite Bookshelf/Monitor below $500 there's a pair of JBL- L830 speakers for sale on audiogon for $250 which is a VERY good deal. i have no association with this seller, but i have these speakers also, and they are incredibly dynamic and have excellent bass (6in. 3 way). NOT ONLY do... | |
| Heard my friend's system, thinking of leaving hifi i have an entire house full of speakers, amps, cdp's, tv's, and gadgets (plus a dozen guitars, a piano, a clarinet, and a dulcimer). i have more stuff crammed into various closets, including wire, wire, and more wire. but due to my present physic... | |

| Who is your favorite blues guitarist BLIND BLAKE played alot of ragtime as well as the blues, but ROBERT JOHNSON (as a guitar player) was just one of many phenomenal musicians in his time. B.BLAKE is pictured using a primitive looking acoustic guitar, so i would suggest that if someo... | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 i have a toshiba 36 inch analog tv set with nice speakers built into a nice cabinet with two shelves underneath for components with a nice glass door in front. the colors are true to life, and thanks to the curvature in the picture tube i can watc... |
