| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? Fdriver has an interesting perspective. One could order/update with the SL biamp option. One could then put Alephs or X series amps on the top end and perhaps Wolcotts on the bottom, or MAs if you wish. Or even 4 channels of Pass amps, if your ele... | |
| Which I agree with Theo. I've never had a cable that took more time to break in than GR. I've had it since late summer and it's still showing new layers. | |
| What amps are being used with Revel Studios? I heard them at a McIntosh/Levinson dealer. The McIntosh 602 was more musical than the Lev 336 they had without giving up any detail, depth and impact. The front end and cabling was impeccable and the source material was mine so I was familiar wit... | |
| Suggestion for an Audio Store in London When you get to Heathrow or Gatwick buy a copy of High Fi News/Record Review or What High Fi and look up the ads for high end dealers. I maybe dating myself but if Audio T or Thomas Heinitz/Music in the Home is still around they are worth visiting... | |
| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? I tried the Aleph series on sound lab A3s and they were excellent within their power rating. Very natural, detailed, with good imaging. If one could find a pair of 1.2s one would be happy indeed. | |
| Upgrading VTL 2.5 pre-amp to: CAT, BAT, or ARC? You might want to consider the Atmasphere MP3. Single ended balanced and comes with a phono stage (or without). | |
| moving coil vs. moving magnet question The Grace is a good medium mass tonearm, the PS audio is probably a good step up still. I'd try a Dynavector, a Shelter, or an Ortofon. What's your price range? | |
| What is the best speaker for a small room 10X11 Believe it or not a pair of QUAD 57s will sound terrific in a small room like that. (Remember the British rooms they were designed for...) Kinda like a big set of headphones. I had a small apartment once where I had a very similar set up and they ... | |
| Bryston and Conrad Johnson You might want to check out the AtmaSphere MP3 also. Both true balanced and s/e operation. | |
| sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's? I used to own a 575 and I believe that you will enjoy the sound of the 500, which I also own. Please use surge protection on the 500 - they seem to be sensitive to spikes and so on. Nothing fancy in the way of protection. Give the SONY time to bre... | |
| Surge protection for Bryston amp Why not just unplug your stuff during bad weather? | |
| Polarity with SCD-1 LAte night truncation of thought...what I mean is that the Sony is not a purely balanced differential design throughout. And the phase inversion switch won't make up for that. | |

| Need monitors with a BIG sound For big sound I'd get some small Spendors or some Diamonds and a Sunfire subwoofer you can put "under the couch." |
