| Help With Amp Decision i've seen many dealers mate B&W with Classe in their demo rooms. must be something to it! | |
| Help this budding Classical audiophile I've been exploring classical music for some time now, since back in the day when the best I could do was the speakers that came with my Gateway computer! Not only could I not afford a decent system, but budget cd's were always in order. So that's... | |
| Calling all acoustic guitar fans... Sergio and Odair Assad "Play Piazolla" | |
| So I heard some B&W Signature 805s today... In a showroom audition consisting of Cary v12, CDP and pre, sig 805 vs the new Dynaudio 1.4, I found myself drawn to the 1.4's. The 805's quickly became fatiguing to me. Audition music consisted of Jack Johnson (On and On -dealer's choice). Gidon ... | |
| need more smoothness Very interesting stuff Cellorover! In my limited experience, I always found that I preferred speakers which turned out to have silk/fabric tweeters. Though that is not to say that metal dome tweeters cannot be smooth, for example the nautilus line... | |
| Vibration Problem I also have a vibration problem with my CDP (Jupiter2000), but only on certain CD's, especially one of my all time favorites: Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2, Bernard Haitink & Emmanual Ax (Sony SK 63229). It drove me nuts, just as the music would... | |
| Interconnect under $200 new or used..... I have had very good results with the ZU Cable Warmouth, which falls in your $$ range used. | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 & B&W Nautilus 803 as does Classe! I really enjoyed a demo of the N803's mated to a Classe 301. As I'm not in general a B&W fan, this combo had me rethinking things! And of course, word is that B&W has acquired Classe, so that in itself is worth considering.... | |
| Best integrated for Dynaudio 1.3mkII Not familiar with item 3 on your list; that withstanding, I believe you have them in the proper order. Each is a step up over the other in terms of resolution, finese, pace, and detail. Search the archives and I belive you'll find a number of comm... | |
| Speakers for Simaudio Moon I-5 Not sure what your speaker budget is, but I paired my I5 with Joseph Audio RM7 si, a wonderful match. Can be had for about $1k used. Consider as well the Tyler Acoustics Taylo ref monitor or even the Linnbrooks (if your wallet can handle it!) | |
| Linn vs rega cd players? Anyone have thoughts on the Jupiter vs the Genki? | |
| Very best in world music - recommendations? Radio Tarifa - "Cruzando El Rio", "Temporal","Rumba Argelina"EA! - "Oprimando"Hossam Ramzy & Rafaa el Tachuela - "Flamenco Arabe"Astor Piazolla - any and all | |
| Moon Nova or Eclipse? For your dealer to call the Nova a 'waste of time' reflects more on him than on the Nova. Reminds me of those guys at the airport car rental terminals, who are always trying to get me to upgrade. By the way, I run my I5 with a Jupiter2000 and am v... | |
| Best Integrated. Krell, Bryston, Creek, others? take a look at models from simaudio and plinius | |
| It's No Fun Being a Guru Anymore Yours is a tall order, more so because time is pressing! How do you educate otherwise fine people who just don't know any better? I hate to use cliches, but they seem like the ignorant masses. I use ignorant in its proper context: as from Webster ... |
