| Integrated amp up grade? Warren, Is this what you're looking for: Taurus Audio Newark - California - USA? They are the distributor in the USA. They even have an ad on Audiogon with the amp you're interested in learning about. Jim | |
| do NAIM cdp sound good only with Naim components? I didn't, but must mention these comparisons were done without Naim preamps/amps. Jim | |
| do NAIM cdp sound good only with Naim components? I believe the Naim CDP's are the sweet-spot in the Naim product line. I have a CD5X with HICAP2 and it usually outperforms other CDP's at audio meets. It has bested the Talk Thunder 3.1b, Cary 306, and the Opera Droplet 5.0. It lost to Meitner, dc... | |

| Sequerra SS One small powered monitors These monitors are no longer in production. I'm fairly sure Mr Sequerra has exited the audio business. Like most monitors thay had proponents and opponents. They had a novel feature, an adjustable output on the tweeter. Having said all of this I f... | |

| Naim Audio - Threat or menace? As others have said, Naim is great gear. Some become fanatical about the gear; claimimg nothing else is good. Like all audio gear it has its pro's and con's. Since I have an all Naim system, here's my take:Pro's: Great bass; excellent instrumental... | |
| comparing monitors Hello Sean, Yes, I own the Rotchschilde's. They are wonderful little speakers IMHO. The metal tweeter is not "hot" or etched. The woofer, looks like a Dynaudio but probably isn't, has great bass extension considering cabinet size. The most remarka... |
