Upgrade from Accustic Arts MK3 to Crimson?
the Cosecant was fantastic, and I was very happy with it for a while. it was noticeably better than the AA Mk3. the Cosecant's limitation is its weight/bass. The Crimson is a big step up in that category, which is why I upgraded to it. 
Upgrade from Accustic Arts MK3 to Crimson?
i made the same upgrade (with an intermediate stop at the Wavelength Cosecant). i predict that you will be VERY happy with the Crimson. I found it more resolving and much less digital glare than the AA Mk 3. Add to the the convenience factor of a ...

I think that's where the problem exists, and there is no graphic equalizer, just bass and treble and relative loudness of the speaks.Throw a Behringer DEQ2496 in the front seat of that bad boy, and you're good to go.

Have you tried re-cabling the interconnects in the car? I recently took my BMW to a high end car audio shop and had them install Nordost Silver Mobile Mk 2 cables throughout. This dramatically lowered the noise floor and improved detail and focus....

Best Sealed/Full-Sized/Balanced Headphones for iPo
agree with swampwalker. consider one of the Ray Samuels Audio amps or the Yamamoto tube headphone amp with Grado RS-1s. I have used this equipment and was very happy with it. Some will swear by AKG, but I prefer the RS-1s. 
Vinyl Virgin seeks additional advice
I would:1. Call local audio dealer to come back and get it right2. Check anti-skate to see if that will cut down "skipping."3. Check VTF with a scale to make sure you are in the right range for your cart (if you don't have one, you can get a scale...

Power amp s for Avantgarde Duos?
I believe that your dream amps are still available in an Agon classified right now: Audiopax 88s. I used the Audiopax 88s with the Duos and the combination was stunning. I have heard that the Lamms are an improvement, but I went in another directi...
