| Best Integrated for Sonus Faber the sonus fabers, as well as totem, respond best to any quality ss integrated with lots of power. if you go 'tube' you're talking integrateds in the mac/arc relm(lots of grunt), but ss is still more favorable given the sonus faber's warmer character. | |
| Blu Ray over/under $ warner and universal still rule the software world. ad paramount and dreamworks to the hddvd list too. | |
| Musical Preference: US or UK? rich, even in the uk and europe, the music business is suffering. the british rock 'scene' however is still thriving compared to the u.s. i think the music culture in the u.s. has become more regional. i also think that musicians in the u.k. are m... | |
| Blu Ray over/under $ the visual differences will(as with dvd) be contingent on the production procss. the industry will nurture this more slowly that the ill-fated sacd and dvda. there are backward compatibility issues too. | |
| Help me choose TT of these three candidates. oracle delphi or premiere would be more neutral than the 3 mentioned. also the linn, phonosophie | |

| Spectral and B&W 802D...Need Amp Advice with the 801 matrix and it was pretty incredible. less warm than mac, but so transparent/neutral that it was overwelming. we played lots of familiar records/cds for hours.the front ends werejaybo a vpi hw mklll and a cal icon of some vintage. i'm ... | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET after some thought, i think you want horns/hybrids no matter what. go forth into the land of midrange....just know that most return someday, and those who don't are forced to listen to chamber music and whispy female vocalists and nothing else. | |
| DIY 300b SET monoblock put your post on audioasylum.com in the diy section if you haven't already | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET your avatars are too polite because of your amps. they are the 'keepers' in your system. a push-pull tube or mosfet ss will make them lively and you will hear articulate bass, something you won't get (other than a corner horn) by spending 5k on hi... | |
| Spectral and B&W 802D...Need Amp Advice if i were going to ever cheat on my mac system it would be with spectral. | |
| GMA europa, Where to audition what do you expect to gain from a speaker change? what kind of gear are you using with them? ive gotta ask this, because as good as the europa is, its not going to perform like a rainmaker. the epos won't come close either. you can find a better s... | |
| Mcintosh C-2200 or Aesthetix Calypso? baffled-the differences in the mac tube and ss pres are more slight than most and the phono sections in both are really good. that eq on the 42 is like four wheel drive. even if you only need it every now and then..its great to have |
