| Final ditch effort to improve my sound. Pls. help Borrow a high end source from a local audio retailer to determine if the source is the problem or the room. I have speakers in the same family the JM Labs mini utopias with a REL sub. I am using an older Cary 303-100 player and it's a good match. ... | |
| APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01? Modwright, Exemplar, APL? I'm thinking of upgrading to the modwright Sony 999es. On a dollar basis you can pick up the Sony for $500 and get the full mod from Dan for $2,100. I'm not interested in DVD-A so the Denon 3900 isn't a requirement (unles... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" There are a couple of CD's that I have been getting a lot of rotation time. Buddy Miller "Universal United House of Prayer" - not too preachy and a nice blend of country & blues/rock. Next up is Rusty Truck "Broken Promises" - It has that Bake... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? It's amazing how the good intentions of an individual can get twisted into something that turns ugly. We should all be thankful to Avguru for the quest....I know I am. Everybody relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? If it is a traditional box you can set a couple of mouse traps on top. the trick is set them upside down so when the cat jumps up on top of the amp they go off but they don't get caught in them. It should to the trick! | |
| KEF 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2? It's a difficult decision. I owned Kef 107's for about ten years. I don't want to burst your bubble but I think there a lot of speakers out there that will better the Kefs especially in the high end and midrange. Just my opinion but I am very fimi... | |
| Okay, I have a decision to make, please help. I would buy a used Cary 303 player. I listened to the Rega, Linn, Naim, Rotel, Meridian and just came back to this player. There is just something about the soundstage, and bass output and smoothness that I like. Just listen and that will be your ... | |

| Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be bashline, I really don't know why the McIntosh gear wouldn't work. In my previous post I was using old Mac gear with my Mini Utopia's and they Mini's sounded pretty good. The old Mac gear (1976) didn't have the base authority or absolute seperatio... | |
| Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be Well I don't know about the Micro Be's but I have the JM Labs Mini Utopia. I had used them with an older McIntosh pre amp and amp. I would be surprised if the the newer Mac gear wouldn't sound just fine. I'm using Herron electronics and they sound... | |
| Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality? Try the Gov't Mule CD titled "Dose". It's a combination of southern rock with some jazz hints. Not only is the group very talented and better than 90% of the rock stuff out there, the sonics are excellent including the kick drum and guitars. | |
| Getting into Opera... need advice Try Maria Callas "The very best of" on EMI Classics. Seventeen selections from various Operas. These are from older recordings but they sound very good and you can't beat the performances. | |
| JM lab Electr 926 speakers good pre amp&lifier Hello,I am fairly familiar with the JM Labs speaker line. I listened to the Electra line 906, 926 and ended up with the mini utopia instead. I tested the 906 at home with my McIntosh solid state gear (older C28 pre and 2205 amp). I find the JM Lab... | |

| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Gogamecocks I have been down the jewelry path. However, I was able to tie that purchase with an anniversary event. Most guys really aren't into anniversary or birthday gifts for ourselves. If we want it we just buy it. I did build up some credit p... |
