Hail to Mcintosh
A pair of Mac 275's, a pair of Klipschorns and some good Jazz on the turntable ... AhhhhhhhhhhhhAnd some say there is no God, somebody hand me a beer. 
What to feed my Paradigm Studio speakers?
Welcome Dave ... You might as well get your wife hooked now and save yourself the rolling eyes and temper tantrums that a lot of us seem to have to deal with every time the UPS guy shows up. I had to start buying hip-hop cds but at least now I get... 
Newbie needs to make a decision, Rogue? Manley?
I'm no expert when it comes to tube amplifiers but I am running an inexpensive ARC VT-60 with a Modwright linestage (highly recommended) and Paradigm Signature S4 speakers. I was ready to sell the S4's when I tried the ARC amp. My solid state syst... 
Newbie to audio
Here is my 2 cents,From what you described so far a tube amp would be fun to play with. I see the Dynaco rebuilds for about $500-800 and I keep stopping myself. I bought an ARC VT-60 and I am astonished by the difference between tube and solid sta... 
The under 10K speaker
I've been a Paradigm fan for years ... maybe because I live so close to Canada but mostly because I just like the way they sound. I'm running the S4's now on my main system with a pair of older but very sweet sounding Levinson amps setup in a bi-a... 
The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd
Its pure coincidence I believe BUT if you start Dark Side the exact moment of the last lion's roar (movie's start) ... the very second she steps out of the house and the scene goes from black and white to color ... the song money starts and it's p... 
Monster htps7000 + avs2000 combo - Good?
I'm running the Signature AVS-2000 and HTS-5100 and I'm very satisfied with what I got for the money. I am going to take the next step and run two dedicated 30 amp circuits from the breaker box. I know there are much more expensive units out there... 
sub for $3500 or less
I'm running a Paradigm Seismic 12 and it's great for movies ... I can scare the hell out of myself. I had a tough time finding the best position for it; once I did movie have never been the same. http://www.laaudiofile.com/seismic12.htmlBUT I agre... 
CDP to replace vinyl
I agree with Baddabob ... I'm running a Krell KPS 20i with a Levinson 360s and I go from amazed to dissapointed by just switching a disc. Most all of my post 1995 CD's are very good to great but some of the 1970's and 80's recordings leave me wond... 
Amp with a hard,clean and cold sound...
Mark Levinson No 23.5 It's been a fantastic work horse for me, I picked up a No 27 and run them both to bi-amp my Paradigm Signature S4's. I bought an ARC VT-60 hoping to get a more tubed sound. My goal was to eventually go with a VT-100 Mk III fo... 
DAC upgrade: does it worth the money?
I went with the 360S and I wouldn’t say I regret it BUT I am contemplating selling it. I bought a Krell KPS 20i to act as a transport ... just for the hell of it I switched to the Krell DAC and ran the transport as a CDP. I'll be damned ... to my ... 
Snake oil, subs and alcohol
I just love the way the post sounds ... Snake oil, subs and alcohol. It's like part two of lawyers guns and money. I just turned off my sub and cracked a micro brew ... Happy Memorial Day guys ... I turn 41 tomorrow!I wonder what bass will sound l... 
Biamping Questions
I'm running biamped and have played a bit with single amp/biwire, dual amp/dual wire ... My speakers are small and easy to drive (Paradigm Signature S4) and I run Levinson ML 23.5 (200 WPC) and a No 27 (100 WPC) for power. I have tried silver and ... 
breaking in audio components
I worked in the electronic component manufacturing field for 10 years making ceramic capacitors. I can tell you capacitors change value over time and the change is logarithmic - so the largest change is when the component is "new". Some of the hig... 
CD Player Transformed by Power Cable
Hello,I have also had great luck with all Frank's cables ... I have read a few reviews that give him very high marks; even compared to the big boys. I tried his Silver Resolution IC's and I'm hooked. His customers service is wonderful. I'm using h...
