Best used amp in the $1500 range
I have a good friend that owns the Classe 300 and the Audire Otez. Both amplifiers sound very good. Infact you may have a hard time hearing a difference comparing them. The Audire amplifiers don't seem to be well known as a whole. Even though they... 
What's the best CD/DVD player under $1000?
Nope ..that former dealer is telling the truth. I watched my friend go through hell with his Arcam. It was returned to him three times over several months with the same issue. He finally got the company to replace the entire unit. Of course, this ... 
Subwoofer reccomendations
Something like the Onix Rocket UFW-10 should work just fine. Get one new from here AV123. You don't want to over load the room. A sealed 10 inch should be more than enough. 
Tube amps covers on or off
Yeah..I like using tube gear without the covers myself...just has more of the cool factor. You can sit there in front of it at night with the lights off, getting lost in the glow and the music! :-)Have fun! 
What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?
Reubent,No problem...I think DB test would show most couldn't hear the difference in transports. If you're one of the few that can, I commend you.Good listening 
What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?
I use a DVD Player as a transport. I notice no narrowing of soundstage ..sorry. I've also compared separate transport to cd player..again there just wasn't enough difference to warrant spending more. Maybe some of these players have more noise and... 
open baffle vs sealed box designs
Hey JohnK ..How about hook a brother up with some OBs?I already have the drivers. I would like to be able to swap them over when feeling like a change. How much for just the Baffles? I could get them made locally but your wood work is awesome! You... 
Anyone else here running Flying Moles?
I believe the company is coming out with a new design for these amplifiers. Reason being, I've had several promotion emails from the American distributor of the flying moles.The remaining inventory is being sold at a discount. I owned a pair of fl... 
How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac?
You can contact Peter directly and get this DAC for the same price as me. You would be buying it directly from the designer bypassing the middle man. That's why it's so much cheaper. The only other DAC I had in my system was a Meridian DAC used wi... 
How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac?
I bought it from Peter Daniels of Audiosector . I doubt I would ever sell it though. It is a $1200 DAC for $350.00...when you buy it directly from Peter. I will most likely use it in another system as it sounds great! When I get the other one I w... 
How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac?
Here's a link to one that does what you speak of Attraction DAC . Yes it cost more than the others, but from what I'm reading even the most expensive DACS or players in the world can't do what is claimed here. So $1200 could be considered a barga... 
How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac?
I said it once ..I'll say it again..YOU NEED A DAC. The Pioneer is just fine as a transport.It sucks as a source though! I use one myself..it has given me zero problems compared to $1500 and above so called quality players in the past. So for now,... 
Best monitor for female vocals?
Any speaker that doesn't use a crossover. Or doesn't use one in the critical fequency range where voices are.Good luck 
I need a cd player that is fun to listen to
That's a good one!!! LOL LOL LOLJdombrow.... I didn't know you had it in you.Thanks for the laugh! 
I need a cd player that is fun to listen to
How about bypass the player and just add a DAC ? I've been reading up on the The Attraction DAC . It is a very interesting unit ..though not for the flashy crowd, which is fine with me. It is the only digital device that can non oversample up to ...
