| Time for a new 2 channel amplifier - looking for suggestions My parasound Halo 21 is a GREAT amplifier. I've been looking to get my system down to a bare bones but maximum bang for the buck system. The Parasound fills the spot for amplification. Used they go for maybe $1500.00 Does the smaller unit sound si... | |
| My Classe CP700 preamp needs service Thank you for your posts. My CP700 is going back to Classe today! Joe | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Hah! Too much fun here! I love folk music. Anything could be coming out of my system. I'm a big Mason Williams fan. He did very traditional stuff in his early days. Abba works for me also. Pop on! Joe | |
| Buying Without Audition bcgator is spot on. I bought a pair of Snell Type B's in 1993. I can't even remember what source factors contributed to that decision. When they arrived, I set them up and to my horror they sounded terrible! BUT, I was forced to listen to them bec... | |

Crazy huh? And to boot; the jackets were done on a flimsy cardboard far inferior to the original. I'm... | |
| What is David Bowie's turntable? It's been discussed in Stereophile and other mags. Most artists don't care about equipment at all! I've talked to many musicians over the years. Not a one had or cared about playback systems. Crazy huh? | |
| I need advice on which speaker A key issue you want to consider is if the speaker uses proprietary drivers. I'm a Snell fan. Snell is out of business. Not a problem for me because ALL of the drivers in my Snell Type B's are off the shelf Vifa drivers. The last speakers Snell ma... | |
| Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage? Add Basia to the list. Her stuff is a lot of electronics plus percussion. This isn't my regular listening material BUT, she is great and will expose a weak playback system. Joe | |
| Which CD\SACD? Add the Cary 306 SACD player to your list. The reviews are spot on. I love mine. | |
| Sellers Beware!!! Hi ejr1953, I'm in sales for a living and what this buyer did to you was just a part of the sales world. I have customers I deal with that make me cringe when I see them coming. Still, I need the business. In the case of the guy in your driveway; ... | |
| Wilson Sasha 1 Consider adding a subwoofer to your system. You can add as much slam as you want. Joe |
