| Nautilus owners upgrade to what? If I owned traditional box speakers as opposed to planars, I'd likely lean towards B&W as well. I haven't heard the full line of Totem speakrs, but what I have heard sound damned fine to these ears. Smooth, mellow signature to them and the fit... | |
| Tuner website on Geocities ??? "A communications error occurred. Please try again" Like Sean I've been trying to log on to http://www.geocities.com/tunerinfo/ with no luck. I bought a Sansui TU-517 and I'm looking for info on it. | |
| Can you convert balanced inputs to RCA inputs help Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) and Purist Audio Design (PAD) both make balanced-to-RCA connectors, check out their websites perhaps hunt down a local dealer and you should be all set. Expect to pay $100 or so for a pair | |
| Collective letter s to Stereophile With all due respect, who cares about the rags anyway? They have their agendas and your best interest somehow doesn't fit in. Listen to the folks here on AudioGon who paid good money out of their pocket for their gear and have no vested interest. ... | |
| Regrets Sold my Apogee Duetta II speakers for next to nothing because I thought one of my kids would put their hand(s) through the ribbons. Damn I loved those speakers, driven by gobs of Classe current and a great analog front end. The nice thing about th... | |
| Need a good "under carpet" speaker cable I'd recommend the Goertz as well, good stuff but it may not fit your budget. If you'd like something inexpensive QED makes some decent flat cables at roughly half the price of Goertz. The QED stuff strikes me as more rugged as well. In your set up... | |
| any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp? It really depends on the rest of your system, your room, and your preferences. I tried a FET Ten in my system for three days and I couldn't stand it, I had to get a tubed unit back in my system pronto. I found the Ten etched, grainy, and bright. T... | |
| Your Perfect Office System? Bud, when I had an office I used a Linn Classik and ProAc Tablette 2000 speakers. I happen to work from a home office now so my system doesn't bother co-workers and I rather enjoy it. I assembled it from components previously in my main rig and so... | |
| CD suggestions and help with Musical Fid. and BMW? I agree with Natalie, but choose to be a little more diplomatic about it. If you could give us an idea what your budget is, we can suggest some good CD players to choose from. And yes, get used to a single drawer. | |
| Replace headphones or add headphone amp I owned both the 580's and 600's, no comparison between the two. I used them with a Linn Classik, a portable CDP through a HeadRoom AirHead amp, and with a Grado headphone amp in my main rig. I would strongly suggest you upgrade to the 600's then ... | |
| Any non-box or non-black grey amplifiers? Aragon amps with their V-shaped notch in the top are very unique looking. | |

| What after the old CD player? CDP, SACD or DVD-a? I was interested in SACD and DVD-A when the formats came out, thinking the redbook standard was so aged that we were due for an upgrade. I looked into the software availability and found the selection was limited and almost exclusively classical a... | |
| Professional vs. Consumer speakers I visited Studio Morin Heights, just north of Montreal. This studio has had some of the biggest artists record there...U2, Bowie, the Police, on and on and on. Gold and Platinum albums grace the walls. Very nice setting visually, looks like the ro... | |
