| Mark Levinson Nr32 compares to ......... I have owned lots of ML stuff and it was all very good. I do understand exactly what you mean when describe it as "dry". I always felt it was a bit too cold and a bit more lab instrument than musical instrument. I tried a bunch of other preamps (a... | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms A very good friend of mine and fellow music lover/audiophile coined the phrase (at least as far as I am concerned) as hisbeing married to a "reference wife". Well I have one as well.I have recently designed and built a dedicated room for music in ... | |
| Anybody had experience with stealth Indra ? I have a pair of them on loan from my local dealer and I am very impressed. I have compared them to my standard Nordost Tyr and they are very smooth and musical indeed. I am using them between the Boulder phono and preamp. The interconnects from t... | |
| Boston Vinyl? Spencer, If you want to head to suburban Boston, I find some decent stuff at Deja Vu records in Natick. They are on Rt. 135. A lot of records of all types and varying condition. Its run by a very nice older woman and the prices are quite reasonabl... | |
| Levinson 33H vs Boulder 1060/2060?? Max, I agree with the above comments in that it is all about system synergy. I have owned tons (literally) of ML gear and many of their amps. I have not owned the 33H however, but I have heard them on many occasions with various speakers. I alway... | |

| The Cost of Cables Having owned many Porsches including factory race cars, I will tell you I get in far less trouble in my dedicated music room. Also, I can share the audio/music passion with my "reference" wife and some very good friends and I know before I turn it... | |
| Boulder 2008 Well for what its worth.. I own and very much enjoy a 2008 phono preamp. I have auditioned other phono preamps (albeit none costing nearly as much) in my system and while some were very good, none were able to deliver the whole musical package lik... | |
| What speakers work well with Boulder ?? I have Boulder equiptment and I get pretty good results using Wilson Maxx2 loudspeakers. The Boulder amp seems to offer the power and control that helps get best from the Wilsons. I have also heard them do wonderful things with Avalon and Magico l... | |
| How to shop for audio I live just outside of Boston and have been involved with audio for a long time. I have shopped in many audio salons but I never felt at home in one after The Music Box in Wellesley closed years ago. I heard some amazing systems there and most of ... | |
