| Shootout: CJ Sonographe SA250 vs. Classe CA150 I have the Sonographe SA 400. It is an excellent amp. It is not quite as dynamic as my Class A Plinius, but it sounds great. A little on the warm side. If you can pick up the CJ for cheap it is a no-brainer | |
| Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP? Count me in on the convinved club. I started with 0 (zero) LPs in 2002 - I now have well over 1000 | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx One vote for Wilson here!!! I am a big Maxx and Sophia enjoyer. Wilson does DYNAMICS like no one else! This reviewer didn't even mention that because he was so caught up in theory. It reads as biased as any Sterophile review.I have heard Maxxes ve... | |
| Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP? DIGITAL - Completely silent backgrounds all the time, more crisp at the frequency extremes. ANALOG - more natural/organic tonality, more inner resolutiondynamics are a washNo one would complain about surface noise on 95% of my records - essentiall... | |

| Absolutely beautiful gear Certainly Supratek preamps are quite amazing in the looks department! | |
| Which Tube Preamp under $10K? Both the Hovland and the Nagra preamps are excellent. I think either would be an excellent candidate, and both are available with quality phono. I own a supratek Syrah which I would also wholeheartedly recommend a supratek product, but there is a ... | |
| Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE "The Dynaudio Audience 72 and 72SE (upgraded with drivers from the Countour 1.8 mkII) are front ported speakers and will fit your budget from the used market."... but they won't sound as good as the Dyn 1.3SEs. Though the Tyler's are undoubtably q... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? abb@cs.com - Judy is not being harsh, she is being honest. Sorry to offend, but B&W is "the bose of high-end." Heavily marketed, very bright and tipped up in the treble, meant to suck people in with over-emphasized bass and treble just like Bo... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? "I traded up my Paradigms studio 100s this past summer for these B&W 703."Why did you do this? | |
| Best 10K Speaker Jhwalker - I'm interested in what subwoofers you've tried and were unsuccessful with.My guess is something like a Velodyne DD15 would solve your problem, and save you a lot of time and money. Comes with a mic to and hooks up to your tv to take a f... | |
| Sonus Faber CONCERTINO vs. Quad 11L? How can you even say "the concertino is the winner here by a wide margin" ???? You can't compare two completely different sounding speakers and say one is the winner by a large margin. If you like it better, that's fine, but it's really annoying w... | |
| Simaudio I-5 and Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 Jonah - I have your speakers and have heard them in a variety of systems with a variety of gear. The fact is that these are really high-end speakers, and the better your amplifcation and front end gear is, the better sound you will get from them. ... | |
| ALL Things IPOD Even if the ipod doesn't sound the best... it is the only portable mp3 player with a good interface. Apple hit gold with the design and the interface. | |
| Subwoofer for Magnepan 1.6's Dgplo - Awesome, good choice. Were you able to integrate it pretty seamlessly with your maggies?? |
