| Wadia upgrade - Levinson or Naim? Thanks for the inputs. I hadn't really considered mods that much. I checked out the GNSC web site. My concern is that the testimonials all talk about improved soundstaging, iomaging, and resolution. These are all great, but my main concern is in m... | |
| CD player for a warm system You need a Wadia. They excel at resolving detail and harmonics, and lending a strong, authoritative sound to the music. Their voicing highlights the upper midrange a bit, and tightens up the midbass a lot. Their bass slam and control is legendary.... | |
| How can my $300 6 year old entry level Rotel sound I learned the sound doesn't always live up to the hype. I had a Sony 707ES CD player a friend inherited and gave to me. I enjoyed it, but wantoing to see what was better, took it to a local shop. They had the latest CD palyer that redefined the st... | |
| Speakers like 'stats but for smaller rooms? I've been looking for a speaker upgrade for somje time, and really liked the Magnepan 1.6QRs until I got them home.

I have been looking for an upgrade and it hasn't been easy - the Angelii are that good. Many speakers perform better in some areas (usually the bass), but I haven't foun... | |
| Zingali Overture series thumbs "up" or "down" I auditioned some of the smaller Zingalis (one floor stander and one book shelf) at a local retailer. I don't remember which models they were. I had very mixed feelings about them. On large scale recordings, they sounded phenomenal. They sounded t... | |
| Anyone heard Zingali speakers from Italy I auditioned some of the smaller Zingalis (one floor stander and one book shelf) at a local retailer. I had very mixed feelings about them. On large scale recordings, they sounded phenomenal. They sounded their best with a recording of a swing ban... | |
| Anyone try Audio Physic's LS placement philosophy? I have heard the Virgos set up in a store using several different placemnet schemes. The one that worked magic looked like it was per AP's set-up scheme. The only problem was visual. Sitting on the couch with the speakers fairly close and wide apa... |
