| Revox B750MKII or Accuphase E-202 i am a collector of both brands and have experience with both since the 1970's. the b750 or b250 are sonically neutral. revox favors no frequency. both are also built like tanks. the b750 has more 'conventional' controls and is a bit harder to fin... | |
| Accurate vs Musical 99.9% of all recorded music isn't 'recorded' to simulate LIVE music.....even LIVE performance stuff its engineered to sound LIKE a record. your records and your stereos where never supposed to make all recordings sound like live events. | |
| Audio Debt? 'debt or no debt' this hobby has been on the train to obsessive-compulsiville for the last two decades. for 90k any 'smart-nut' would run of to mexico for a year and return with 'stories' worth far more than any stereo. either way, your wife is ma... | |
| $6000 used:Revel Ultima Studio? the revels are not as neutral as your snells. Since they are not, you will have to experiment with equipment to fine tune them. | |
| Arcam Black Boxes are you refering to their early dacs? if so they were 'branded' black boxes. very good at the time. the delta transport and dac is still a great combo. | |
| Accurate vs Musical gregm said it better than my laundry list of examples | |
| WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET? the industry average in audio for the actual 'cost of goods' is 20% of the whsle cost, which is 40 to 60% of the msl price. in the automobile industry, even in the exotic end of the industry, the margins are much lower. mercedes would have to sell... | |
| WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET? i can just picture the face on the dealer if someone returns a pair because they are unhappy....the restocking charge would be 6k.....intervention from real friends is in order...... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object the marantz 7 is still the benchmark. | |
| What's best for Tannoy D-700s? the ss amps i listed are powerful enough to open up the tannoys but sweet enough to listen to for hours at a time. you don't need to go with separates unless you choose to. though mac and tannoy are a classic pairing, the bryston and creek offer b... | |
| Accurate vs Musical well designed speakers ALWAYS deliver on both counts. legendary brands names have 'many' examples that are proof...quad, duntech, dunlavy, rogers, dahlquist, ar, hales, chapman, essence, apogee, mcintosh, tannoy, jbl, advent, epi, ohm, harbeth, ca... | |
| what is the best amp for B&W 802N your amp is fine. unless you are going to double the power, the mf is a nice match. | |
| Is this album on CD, and is it available? out of print copies on cd from japan pop up periodically. scan ebay from time to time or google. | |
| Marantz vs. Pioneer Receivers the best classic receivers for audio thrills and investment are mac, tandberg, revox | |
| Have I forgotten what music sounds like? it could be the recording or rcordings, but sometimes the weakness of hybrids and horns is exposed by dynamic, large orchestra, classical music. old fashioned acoustic suspension speakers generally are the best at this....then transmission line |
