| It must be love, she got me a ??? for Christmas Pass to CES in Vegas this January along with air and hotel. What a wife! | |
| Vendetta phono stage upgrades I have a Vendetta Research also and I spoke to John Curl last year and he said he would upgrade mine, but I would have to bring it to him in Berkeley, CA because he didn't want to hassle with the shipping. Well, I never did because money got tight... | |
| Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question I echo the comments on the Marantz unit. I have the 6060 model and burned Patrica Barber's Modern Cool to test copy quality and no difference to my ears or friend's ears. I have very revealing system that would detect differences. | |
| The best audio steal or deal you've ever gotten? I forgot to add my Vendetta Research phono preamp in that 2500.00 analog rig I bought from the widow. How could I forget the collector's item? | |
| ARC with B&W 801's? I sold my B&W's and bought Watt/PUppies(and since MAXX's). The 6's or 7 would work well with your ARC since they are very efficient. Very dynamic soundstage, great imaging and detail and the only speaker I have ever auditioned that sounds good... | |
| The best audio steal or deal you've ever gotten? Wow! Reminds me of the analog I scored years ago. A SOTA STar Sapphire III with Vacuum pump, SME V arm, Kiski Ruby Agat Cartridge and a Nitty Gritty Record cleaner for a whopping $2500.00. I bought it from a widow whose husband was an audiophile. ... | |
| ARC with B&W 801's? I agree that the 801 II or III's sound best with solid state. I ran my 801 III's with a Krell KSA-250 and it controlled the bass superbly. The 801 is only 87 db per watt of input, so the solid state is superb. Pass, Krell or Levinson would suffice... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Great review! It makes me want to trade my Krell 650MC's for this amp. Want to trade? Just kidding! My neighbor had that amp for awhile and now I wish I had tried to demo it. Enjoy the amp and the music. I can't help but wonder if that tube preamp... | |
| My wife finally got it Yeah, but did she put out later? | |
| Speaker Cable for Avalon Eidolons Doesn't Avalon recommend MIT cable with their speakers? Every Avalon dealer I have listened with used MIT networked speaker cables and Spectral electronics. Very good match and excellent sound. | |
| Anyone ever used a KSA 200S w/Watt/Puppy's I had a KSA-250;very powerful, dynamic, but leaner than the newer Krell gear and too hot compared to the FPB series. I had the Watt/Puppies 5.1;s and used the FPB-300 and FPB-600. Both got the job done, but when I added the 600, the speaker really... | |

| Why Aren't All Cables Pre-Burned In? Bob Crump is telling the truth. I bought one of his phono cables recently and it sounded magnificent right away. It blew away the Harmonic Tech Silver phono cable. The sound really didn't change much after playing it for a length of time, which ma... |
