| Upgrade B&W speakers or MArantz Receiver? I have to agree with steveaudio. You'll see an improvement going to the Rotel, but it won't be worth it. The speakers you have could sound GREAT with better amp and source. Of course, I am in love with the 805's. I'm afraid I have to say, hold off... | |
| strange rel subwoofer cable phenomenon I don't think it much matters if you can't hear the difference. Isn't that the ultimate test? I trust your judgement more than my experience- after all, your ears are in the room. One caveat- don't listen to those who say cables don't matter. They... | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions Plinius SA-100 MkIII makes me happy. Very warm detailed sound, great bass. SOUNDS BETTER IN CLASS A MODE, but I also believe you shouldn't limit yourself to class A. I'm looking to experiment with a good tube amp when life settles down a bit. The ... | |
| CAT or BAT???? Just wanted to weigh in on the speakers. I have a pair of silverline sonata II and I am very happy with the warmth and detail. They're a very efficient speaker with a Very stable load so they're great for tube amps. As to the pre-amps, I've heard ... | |
| were should best cable go - CD or Preamp? If you can't tell yourself, what does it matter what we say?TRUST YOUR EARS! | |
| Sub to match with Aerial 10Ts Normally I'd say REL, but in this case I'd have to agree with NH_Fi and rec. the Aerial sub. It will blend best. Hope your room is big enough for deep bass. | |
| Need Some Advice About Indoor Antennas terk makees an outdoor antenna shaped like a white 2x4 that hides against trim. DAMN CONDO COPS! | |
| plinius vs perreaux integrateds Not to be too cynical, but John the super dealer may (well, admit it, does) have his own agenda. If he has two great pieces of equipment, how can he not recommend the line a if: they give him a better discount on volume orders...give him 60 days c... | |
| Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer. Of course, you can't run a big amp through a p300. That's a plus for the others. Good for preamp, tuner cd d/a etc...but it consumes a lot of power, because unlike the others, it's an amp. Instead of generating DC, like your audio amp, it generate... | |
| What speakers of today sound most like old A/D/S ? Don't buy old technology. Audition Aerial 7s or Silverline Sonatina. The Aerials are most like the ADS. Both have natural sound good for all types of music. Silverlines are warmer. Aerial 8s have side firing woofer for larger space, like Coinciden... | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles skin effect is real. I see proof of it every day as a tech for AT&T. You can test tarnished cable and detect huge attenuation at high frequencies. It's easily explainable through simple physics: high frequencies by definition have very tiny wa... | |
| Rega P3 / Music Hall MMF 5 or 7 Turntable decision The rega and MMF7 are excellent choices. DON'T Get that Direct drive Technics unless you want to DJ. It's built like, and sounds like, a tank | |
| Revel Gem/ B&W 802 The gems are 7k with no bass. They are a FANTASTIC speaker but adding a subwoofer could make things worse. BE CAREFUL with that match. | |
| San Francisco Bay Area Audio Society It would be helpful to give us Dennis' phone, e-mail or address. Thanks | |
| Is 60 amp electrical service enough for high end tube system If your oven, dryer, water heater, and furnace, and range are gas, it's enough. Upgrading the main panel and lines to the power pole is not expensive, and will add value to your house. Grounded outlets are important. Two prong outlets can be groun... |
