Stereo Amp. for bedroom under 400USD.
Phil, these are all great suggestions. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above advice.Five years ago, I started out my bedroom [only] system with an NAD 705 receiver, 502 CD player and NHT Super Zeros with SW2P sub. Now [unfortunately... 
Looking to Buy My First CD Transport
Onhwy61 and Ezmeralda, point well taken. I'm already in the process of evaluating all supporting pieces [tweaks], which includes all cables [power cord too], power conditioning, and vibration reduction components.I've noticed that Black Diamond Ra... 
Looking to Buy My First CD Transport
Dekay. As usual you have read my mind. Yes, the 9000ES is something I have considered too. Supposedly, a pretty good transport with SACD to boot. I'm wondering if the EVS or Stan Warren mods in combination with the Bel Canto would be redundant or ... 
Looking to Buy My First CD Transport
Thanks for the great advice. I'll definitely look into the Sony, Wadia, EAD AA, and the Bel Canto with a DVD player. 
Cary 303 CD - Very Detailed - Fixes?
A lot of really good advice above.If you're sure you want the Shearwaters, they may help correct what is bothering you. Then after that, you can make whatever additional fixes you feel you need. Otherwise, I think alot of good advice regarding che... 
"more forgiving speakers"
Wc80, while I've been an Agon shopper for almost a year, I've only started to access this forum for a couple months. Early on I'd been too much of a coward to ask questions and relied on brave people like you to create threads and their ensuing di...

"more forgiving speakers"
Here's an example of more forgiving speakers in my system.I have a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures and a pair of Sonus Faber Concertinos. The ProAcs are very revealing in my system. They are what I listen to when I get a new CD and want to he... 
Monitors are falling
Slingshot, I feel for you Bro. While I am not one of the married brotherhood, I have a friend with a wife and a three year old son who's gone through exactly what you're about to experience.He started assembling a home theater system about two yea... 
plinius 8100 vs moon i5
I have owned the Moon I-5 for about 9 months. In my room, it can sometimes be a bit lean. I have heard this from other people on this forum too. However, since changing to warmer interconnects and speaker cables, and adding a Bel Canto DAC 1.1, th... 
Does sub cable also have to be high end?
Thanks Bmpnyc. I saw the BL-1 subwoofer cable at an audio site, but forgot where. Audionet you say? I was wondering how it performed. Glad to hear it's working well in your system. For the last six months I too have been getting good results with ... 
Best way to feed a rear sub?
Cornfedboy makes a good point. Reputable manufacturers such as REL utilize built-in amps and crossovers. Depending on installation limitations, the sub may have to be a quite some distance from the source. The only choice would be to run a long in... 
Power Cords for Subs, any benefit?
Do you folks feel that even an inexpensive cable such as the Absolute Power Cords would make a discernable difference in bass reproduction? 
Subwoofer Question
Thanks a bunch Costrosk! I'll give it a try. 
Best way to feed a rear sub?
It's probably better to opt for a long run of speaker cable as opposed to a long interconnect. Monster does sell long single runs of their M351 subwoofer interconnect for subs with built-in amps. But since you have an outboard amp and crossover yo...
