| Breaking-in a Pass Amp Thanks for all the responses and encouragement. | |
| Breaking-in a Pass Amp Didn't get a chance to demo before and have them on a 10-day in-home demo; no dealers within 600 miles. After only 36 hours they are already beginning to warm up, open up and relax a bit and sounding considerably better than out of the box | |
| How's this for synergy? of events Let's see...no one has yet commented on " My wife is in Italy for 10 days."Given 'la caccia alla stranieri' (the hunt for foreign women) is a national pastime of Italian men, I'll wager she's likely having at least an exciting a time as you, your ... | |
| Ohm Micro Walsh Talls spkrs vs Totem Arro or Hawk? Ohm offers an in-home 120 day trial you may wish to consider. I owned some vintage Ohm FRS speakers until recently and their sound is addicting and the entire room is a sweet spot with an amazing sense of you-are-there presence. I'd buy another sm... | |

| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? Von Schweikert VR2 and VR4JR both meet your criteria and both are below $2000 used | |
| Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners Very satisfied with my BCD-1. Got me off of the upgrade merry-go-round. I feel no need to 'upgrade', especially since it is the best I've heard and very staisfying/involving to listen to.It does benefit from an upgraded power cord, brass or Herbie... | |
| Rougue Audio Perseus up against McIntosh C2200 I've owned the Rogue 99 Magnum and now own the C2200 and found that the 2200 really came alive by tube rolling the stock tubes out and replaced with upgraded NOS tubes and aftermarket tubes for both the line stage and phono preamp section. Prefera... | |

| JPS Superconductor Q VS Kimber 8TC I replaced my Kimber 8TC with JPS's entry level Ultraconductor and found the improvement noticeable - a greater sense of openness on all music, along with very well defined bass, involving midrange and clear but refined highs. The music seems to e... | |
