| Thiel cs 3.7 vs Rockport Atria Both Thiel models- Cs 2.4 & CS 2.7 are my reference.The CS 3.7 is too large for my small room- remember- the 3.7 needs 20x20, 25x25 or 30x30 sized room(s) to sound their very best. One will be hard-pressed to find a better loudspeaker- does ev... | |
| Which amps with B&W 800D's... Pass Labs or Classe? Classe' is a natural, sonic match for those B&W speakers.Especially, seek out the Omega series- it will be worth it.Top it all off w/ Transparent cables/cords and you are set!Happy Listening. | |
| Surprised by Synergistic Red Fuse on Source for 99 OP-not difficult to understand. We all know that these hi-fi companies (most) will cut every corner and place junk parts in our gear. This is the impetus for better, aftermarket, parts and supplies. Very cool projects going on out there by modders... | |
| Tube amp modding Jazz-very cool project. I love CJ gear. You are off to a great start. The Audience power cord is a nice touch- sonic match for CJ gear- IMO. Keep us posted and happy listening! | |

| Preamp Choice oppurtunity Dan-I have spent much time w/ the CJ Act2 S2- it is an outstanding preamp w/ both tubes & ss.The VTL is on my short-list as soon as I visit a dealer/retailer that stocks this preamp. What other gear, including cables/cords, is in your system? | |
| $2,000 Used CD Player or Modified Oppo 105 Bullitt -did you not wish to add the Parasound cd player to your system? Many, many audiophiles feel this is the best player on the market at this juncture. I do see the player in the used market often- keep me posted and happy listening! | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo EJay-both Modwright and Jeff Rowland are sonic matches for your speakers. What other gear, including cables/cords are in your system ? Happy Listening! | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I will concur w/ Brownsugar-even the older Parasound power amps are still excellent. I found the best pairing w/ a Pass Labs XP-10 or XP-20 preamp for outstanding results. For those who cannot afford this level of performance, Emotiva or Vincent o... | |
| Power from Wall I concur w/ Yogi-I will add this question;are you living on a grid or off? (example: living in a major U.S. city) Keep us posted and happy listening! | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? None- really. They all are paid to review gear, IMO.I believe, in the beginning, the magazines started out from an honest point of view. Now, not so much. I subscribe to TAS, Stereophile, HiFi+ and HiFi News & Record Review.Additionally, read ... | |

| Looking to upgrade my old Conrad Johnson PV12 DKonstruction-big C-J fan here. There are many better pre-amps since your PV12. A few to mention;Act 2CT-6ET-5ET3 & ET3 SE.Listen to these selections prior to any purchase. Keep me posted and happy listening! | |
