Audiophile Grade CDR's
Type in Taiyo Yuden on google search and you will find several vendors selling them. Do compare the prices. If you are in a rush, run down to your local computer supply and find some Fuji film brand CD-Rs. Double check the labels to make sure they... 
Verity Parsifal Ovation vs. Encore?
My room is similar in size except we devided the room into two by have a couch in between. SO the speakers are about 3 feet away from the backwall, and the listening position is about 8 feet from the speakers. I set up the Encores with woofers fir... 
Subwoofer: room 16 x 18.5....
Magfan,How would you connect two subs into a system when there's only one sub out connection on a receiver? I am looking into this two-sub solution for an HT setup in a room that will be 16 (W) x 23.3 (L) x 10 (H). Do you just use one of those two... 
Difference between Audio Research PH3 and ref
A friend of mine had borrowed an PH-7 for home audition. He currently uses the ASR Basis Exclusive w/ ARC Ref 3. And had a Rhea before switching over the the ASR. The Rhea was just too sensitive to tube noise, that he dumped it for the ASR.I broug...

Benchmark is also coming out with one. I talked to the rep at RMAF and I believe the price will be just under $2k.FrankC 
Usher Be20
I just read the review of BE-10 from the Taiwanese magazine from a few years back. The reviewer did mention that by adding the lead shots, it helped tighten up the mid-bass which he thought was kind of loose in his early listening sessions.By the ... 
Unity Audio Signature One
I've got a pair too. They were hooked up to my second system that was in our spare bedroom. When my son was born, I consolidated the system into a headphone-based system, and put these up for sale. When my wife found out, she "ordered" me to keep ... 
Hi End rack really deliver?
Semi forgot to mention the experiment we conducted at his house several years ago. He told me that he had tried at least 10 - 15 different amp stands under his BAT tube amp. He ended up with a piece of 300 lb slab of stone that he was using under ... 
Thiel CS3.6 Amp
To get more bass out of those 3.6s, you need to look at the preamp as well as the amp. I had lived with a pair of 3.6s for over 8 years, during that time, I was driving them mainly with ARC LS2B Mk II/ML #333. Right before I sold my Thiels, I had ...

2008 RMAF – – – all things analog.
I'm going! It would be worth the trip if I find an analog rig using the MySonicLab Eminent cartridge. It's on HP's Editor's Choice list in the latest TAS, but there wasn't too much discreption.I learned about this cartridge when I was working in L... 
Whos Going To RMAF 2008 This Year?
I'm going. Last year was my first time. I go to Denver for work every month or two. Just need to plan it right, and the airfare's paid for!I'll have a car. AVIS has been spoiling me by giving me an SUV. So if anyone want to venture out a little fu... 
ARC LS16 vs LS2 MK2
I had been a long time user of the LS2B Mk 2 and basically tried just about 80% of all the 6DJ8/6922/7308 tube types available under the sun. My system did not change too much for about 8 years.I had changed quite a bit with my system in the past ... 
Totem The One vs. Usher "Tiny Dancer" Be 718
9rw, Stehno can blast me all he wants. One of the guys at NuForce is a friend of mine. I think they make good products. But in this case, there was no synergy between the two products, or it could be with something else in the system. Just reporti... 
Totem The One vs. Usher "Tiny Dancer" Be 718
Sorry, don't mean to sidetrack with your original post. But you brought up about audio shows and such....It's not so much of Usher sabotaging themselves. They are basically at the mercy of their U.S. distributors. It is a typical story with small ...
