| My weakest link?? Thanks for all of your suggestions. Yes, my room is my weakest link - it serves as my listening room and home office. I am new to high-end and really don't know what to expect from any upgrades but recently replaced some B&W Matrix 803s with t... | |
| CD Player Advice Before you change your CD player, may I suggest you consider upgrading your AC supply. Perhaps a dedicated circuit with a good receptacle and decent power cord. You mentioned the Rega as being "harsh". That may not be the fault of the player.Try a... | |
| Best CPD to pair w/ Plinius 8200mkII & Totem Tabu? I don't know your budget, but I am using a Linn Ikemi with a Plinius 8150 integrated and Taylor Reference Monitors. I love the combination. Ikemis are available used for around $2K. Joel | |

| I need to help elevating my speakers. I agree with SGR. I had Sound Anchors custom-make a pair of stands for some B&W Matrix 803s that were 6 inches tall. They are great stands and were a perfect match for the 803s.Joel | |
| Are You Satisfied? I'm fairly new to audio but have put together a small system for my home office that has exceeded the quality of the listening room. The only upgrade I wish I could arrange is a new (young) pair of ears. I'm 54 and have some hearing loss. I guess ... | |

| Please help - system "brightness" problem Problem solved - thank you all for your great posts. I found that two of the binding posts were lose (from the inside). The small nuts that hold the binding posts in place were lose and made it impossible for me to properly secure the cable lugs. ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 vs. ProAc Responce 2.5 Yanomami,I do not own either speaker but have heard them both. If your listening room is very large, I feel the 802s would be a better choice, otherwise go with the 2.5s and spend the money you will save on great music.Happy listening,Joel | |
| Please help - system "brightness" problem Neil, Zaikesman, and Warren,Thanks for your advice. It seems at this point, patience is the key, of which I am often lacking. Joel |
