| Benchmark vs. PS Audio vs. Lavry I have had the Benchmark and the standard PS Audio. I found the BM to be too detailed in my system as my Merlin speakers are very revealing themselves. I was actually warned of this by another goner prior to buying. I find the PS unit to be more f... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Glad you are happy with the new system. Sorry you had to spend so much and then sale it to get there. | |
| Best outlet Buscis2, I appreciate your professional opinion and certainly plan on finding out the reasons for any suggested improvements "upgraded" outlets may make on my system. Great advice for any endeavor. Thanks. | |
| Best outlet Yes, they are isolated ground lines. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Buscis you need a little spice in your life man. Sarcasm = too much time on ones hands too think up stupid comments. | |
| Best outlet I have 20 amp units throughout my house so I should be good. Thanks for the suggestions! | |
| Buying Bookshelves, I love B&W but.... If you like mids then try Merlin TSM series. Very revealing. My Sig. 805 wasn't in the same ballpark as my TSM's. | |
| 11 Amps, 1 TV, 3 Components...1 Receptacle Help I would at least do 220 amps possibly 250 depending on the size of your house. The typical 3 bedroom home now needs 220. If your house is 4000 sq ft or more I would consider 250. Hire an electrician, you can't be too careful when dealing with juic... | |

| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? The great thing about the GR is resell value. Buy used and try. You can get your money back out if needed. | |
| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? I use the GR IC and the GP speaker. I love the synergy of the two and find the more revealing IC is where i needed to spend more money. I think it's interesting that several feel the GR to be colored when it is know to the industry as one of the m... | |
| Xbox 360 w/Blueray will debut in Q3. Although the fan is loud, this is easily covered up by placing in a cabinet. IMO, PS3 offers the best for BR dvd for now as it can handle software upgrades to BR 2.0. | |
| Sonos DAC Just an update on my search. I purchased a Benchmark Dac1 for use with my Merlin VMS/Ars Filharmonia/Sonos system and found the sound quite thin and too revealing. I guess you can have too much of a good thing. I have now bought another Bel canto ... | |
| Mid life audio crisis I find this thread to be interesting in that you bought a very detailed DAC to match an extremely detailed speaker. I have read that most don't care for the DAC1 and the Merlin together as it kind sound thin but very revealing. However, Montywoo f... | |
| Hairdryer for Sale on Gon Chadnliz, you have caught my meaning exactly. Maybe the Conair does in fact have scientific basis HOWEVER I'll buy one for $20 and put the remainder from this add towards something worthwhile like MUSIC! | |
| What speakers to get? Focal or B&W I've owned several pair of b&w's and find the treble to be thin. Again, I think proper amp matching would help. |
