| Perfect Pop Songs A lot of great suggestions but--how about the most obvious. To me, the quintessential pop tunes as expressions of rebellion, teenage angst and/or lust are:SatisfactionI Saw Her Standing There Like a Rolling StoneUnlike many great pop songs, I hav... | |
| D’agostino integrated amp vs their amp and a tubed pre amp setup. I test listened to the Dag S250 with my ARC Ref 40 in my home with my Wilson Sashas for a weekend and the sound was excellent. Not as tubey as a full tube set up but more transparent with the hint of tube magic. In other words, the best of both wo... | |
| ARC Ref 10 tube rolling I sometimes get them from ARC but they are almost double the price you will pay at shops like The Tube Depot or the Tube Store which also provide matched pairs, although ARC claims to put the tubes through extreme testing and matching. To the best... | |
| ARC Ref 10 tube rolling The guys at ARC have it pretty well figured out. Tube rolling gets marginal, if any, benefits in the Ref 40 in my experience. I assume application in the Ref 10 is not much different. | |
| Michael Fremer's system What would I change? Why the location of course--to my house.The equipment seems very synergistic. Dartzeel-Wilson seem made for each other. Caliburn tt with SAT arm? divine. I'll say this---Mikey always gives honest reviews even re his friend Cha... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 BTW, I think Bob (Rhapsody) is an excellent dealer and anyone who wants to hear Magico (which many swear by) or Raidho or any other products Rhapsody sells--could not find a better dealer. | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Thank you Bob:Looking at the photos on Raidho and Magico's website it is clear that I was mistaken. They were, I believe, Raidho XT 5s against a larger and more expensive Magico. This was a few years ago. I preferred the Raidhos | |

| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Another very underrated high end contender not often discussed.Joseph Audio Pearls. Agreed. | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Hi ebmI have listened to at least half a dozen Magico speakers in showrooms and at shows with Alon Wolf playing them and always felt that they were somewhat antiseptic. But I had not listened carefully to any Magico speakers in a number of years a... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Rockport are truly musical speakers. Magico are uninvolving and antiseptic. That's just my humble opinion. | |
| John Rutan / Audio Connection John and Nick are great guys who always give honest advise. I'm a big fan. | |

| Looking for some Watt/Puppy 5 Advice toddburke: Having had a Ref 110 with WP 7s and thereafter a Ref 150 and now Ref 160 monoblocks, I can advise that the biggest difference in how the WPs responded to amplification was my move from the Ref 110 to the Ref 150 (not even the SE) in whi... |
