| Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s Hello,The DQ-10's were my first speakers and you really need some current and watts to drive them.

| Which headphones should be purchased? Hello,I have done a direct A/B check with the Bose and my current Grado 225's. The Bose are mid-fi at best and the price they charge relative to others is way to high. I use my Grado's when I travel. They are an open design but that doesn't bother... | |

| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's The DQ-10's were my first speakers. There were some crossover mods that were available for some time which helped the bass. I found that they need a lot of current / power to really drive them. I also ended up getting a subwoofer for them which he... | |
| Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options Hello,I have bought a "used" Cary 303 player from audiogon. I listened to the Linn Ikemi, Rega Planet and the top of the line Rotel and thought the Cary was superior. More open and had a bigger sound stage than the Rotel. The lower end was better ... | |

| Need advise on Amps to go with Herron VTSP-1A pre Grandpad,I have not heard the Herron 150s. I was hoping for a stereo amp instead of the dual mono solution. Also, I can't spring for the price of the Herron's at this time. Perhaps I should just save up? | |
| Preamp recommendation pre amp Hello,What about the new McIntosh 2200 tube pre amp? I thought it sounded very nice and would probably solve your current problems and would work very well with your current McIntosh amp. I also like the Conrad Johnson gear but the Mac choice may ... | |
| Sim I-5 vs Plinius 8200.. Anybody compared them?? Hello,I listened to both back to back. The Plinius had a bigger base presentation but the Sim was more open and had a better 3 dimensional sound. It was also "sweeter" (more tube like) than the Plinius and more musical. | |

| What AMP/PRE for Audio Physic Tempo 3i/Cary 303 CD Perhaps a Conrad Johnson tube pre amp and solid state amp would work.

| Best Used CD Player for 2,500 - 3,000 Hello,One player that doesn't get too much mention is the Cary players. In your price range the Cary 306 would work. I have done A/B's between the Cary 303 and the Meridian, Linn, Rotel and Rega models and clearly liked the Cary better. Let your e... | |

It is a single player but I compared it the the Rotel, Linn, Meridian, and Rega players and it was the best player for the money. | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? I heard the Vienna Acoustics "Waltz" and they come in a variety of wood finishes. They hang on the wall and sounded pretty good. Perhaps you can sneek in a small sub woofer such as a REL Strata or Storm and you would be set. |
