| Keep equipement or trade? I am the type that would buy a state of the art system or at least the best I could afford and keep it forever. But unfortunately, I can't stay off the boards so I get the upgrade bugs.I grow attached to people, dealers (I prefer to be a one store... | |
| Wall Mounting Hardware for Acoustic Panels Any ideas for flush mounting something like a ASC Sound Panel without using valcro? I'm thinking holes might be better than pealing off the paint on the ceiling. | |
| Revel studio + voice Best amps Bryston or Proceed As long as you have enough power, the Studios seem to work pretty well with most amps. I've heard them with Bryston 7BsSSTs and they certainly work well together. Levinson or Bryston amps are popular matches with the Studios so no worries. | |
| Best tube mono block for 2k What about Manley Mahis? | |
| EMM LABS sacd vs cd At cruising speeds, a bigger engine tends to be quieter than a smaller engine. When accelerating lightly, you also tend not to notice a difference in power. Many times the car with the smaller engine will be much more comfortable to drive because ... | |
| EMM LABS sacd vs cd I don't own the Emmlabs combo, but as good as the DCC2/CDSD combo is on redbook playback, what I think you're discussing here is SACD vs CD. The Kind of Blue is a famous recording. A big part of the magic of the performance is listening to the sub... | |
| What amp/amps to drive magnepan 20.1's Why not hear them with the Bryston amps first and see what you like and dislike about the sound you're getting and then decide where to go? The Brystons are great amps that don't necessarily do anything wrong. So it'll let you figure out what impr... | |
| PMC speakers? PMC speakers are a natural match for Bryston amps. They are generally very dynamic across their line with a good price/low-end extension ratio.I heard the IB1s and MB2s quite a few times with both McIntosh and Bryston amplification. The IB1s were ... | |
| best recording of Diana Krall ? Well I actually like her early recordings the most since they're more "Jazz" and having Christian McBride alone makes it worthwhile. I like "Only Trust Your Heart" since the music is good and the addition of Stanley Turrentine really fills up the ... | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Is this the best amp ever? Hey Jtinn. Didn't Panorama's comments come from owning the Dartzeel? And Hooper said he was looking to get out of tubes though. :D Regardless, I'll be interested in hearing more of your comments comparing the Tenor Hybrids with the Dartz with Khar... | |
| Ultimate list of guides on how to get good sound. Speaker positioning! This is where inches really count! :P | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Is this the best amp ever? Well the Leather with Gold Fleck might pass for Unagi jerky. Tasty!I've never seen the Dartzeel amp either but from the pictures, I don't necessarily mind the style or the colour. Just that looking at the design, it'll be so easy to offer a differ... | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Is this the best amp ever? Why don't you hear them yourself and do a review/comparison for all of us? :DAt that level, I think it comes down to personal preferences and system synergy. Here's what Hooper wrote:"Yes, there are amps out there that do this or that "better" tha... | |
| SF Guarneri Homage or SF Extrema? I was sooo close to buying a pair of Guarneries but I missed out on buying a used pair and a new pair locally plus REL sub just didn't seem like too much of a value to me. Anyhow, I have never heard the Extremas but I have read comparisons and I h... | |
| best recording of Diana Krall ? She used to play in every Vancouver Jazz Festival in a medium sized venue where is is hardly miked or amplified. These days, I think she plays mostly in huge venues. Her last concert in Vancouver was at GM Place (so not a good place for the intima... |
