| Integrated Amplifier for Focal 807W Snecma-look into a Bryston. This is a good sonic match for Focal speakers. Another option would be Creek- very musical amp and easy to integrate into your system.Which cables/power cords do you plan to use?Keep me posted & Happy Listening! | |

| quality of rega saturn player I will concur w/ the above comments.I,too, like the new Saturn-R. Very good sound, integrates well into any system. I even liked it paired w/ its matching integrated amp -the Elicit-R. I am not an integrated amp audiophile btw.I would love to audi... | |
| I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS Hello Bill-nice system you have there, Thiel speakers are my reference as well -models CS 2.4 or CS 2.7- I also like CJ electronics. Until I can demo an ART3, my CJ reference would be the ACT2 Series2 model.Regarding ARC pre-amps, the last 2 years... | |
| Need a New CD Player Will62-if you like Marantz & enjoy its house sound- buy the model(s) made in Japan. It may cost a little more, but totally worth it!Keep me posted & happy listening! | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Well done Ctsooner-I like having B&M stores. We cannot listen to gear over the net. Furthermore, it is a wonderful thing to establish a relationship w/ an owner of a B&M operation. This cannot be accomplished over the net. Happy Listening! | |

| Discussion on the Re-mastering of Springsteen? Thanks! for sharing Jfz-this set is on my radar as well. I will be buying the CD version. I was intrigued by this 'Plangent' process as well.So long as protools was not used to destroy, I mean, "remaster" these discs!Happy Listening! | |
| Advice from apartment dwellers Excellent suggestion Dweller-I will concur w/ the Thiel loudspeakers, either CS 1.7 or CS 2.4 will be plenty for an apartment system.BAT, Rogue Audio or Creek integrated amps are on par w/ these speakers. Cables/cords- AudioQuest, Wireworld, Strai... | |
| Tube Curious - Preamp Suggestions Speedevil-very nice system you own. I would consult both Pass Labs & ARC to determine if the 2 brands are sonic matches.Providing they are sonic matches- I would not hesitate buying the ARC Reference5 / 5SE model. It is so much better than the... | |
