plinius sa-250
Hey Jeremy,I have not yet had the opportunity to listen to the Bryston 14BSST but I understand that it is a very formidable amp. I can tell you that, by most accounts, the Plinius is very tube like for an SS amp. It is very smooth and authoritativ... 
plinius sa-250
Hey Y'all,I've come a long way since I started this thread on 01/01/02. I did purchase the used Plinius SA-250MkIV and I love it. Since then I've listened to many other amps and I have yet to find one that gives the overall sound package that I'm ... 
Monitor with a full range sound?
Hello Tcpip,I recently did an in home demo of the Jean Marie Reynaud Trentes and I've never heard a monitor speaker go so low with such presence and authority. I've owned the Revel M-20 and currently own the Dynaudio 1.3MkII and the Trentes put th... 
Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist
Hey Y'allMerry Christmas.I like the run U2 put together:BoyOctoberWarLive/Under A Blood Red Sky (one of the most powerful live performances I've heard. The raw energy is captured quite vividly on this disc, although it is not a very good recording... 
Any thoughts on a Audiogon covention?
Hey Tireguy,Or should I call you by your stage name, tire"iron"guy. You are much too modest, having upwards of 200 videos under your belt, pun intended. You should put up a list of your best performances so the rest of us can have a gander at a re... 
Any thoughts on a Audiogon covention?
Hey Phasecorrect,As always, Tim, your response was very well put. I, to, would be very excited to meet all of the people on this sight. Most of them sound like intelligent, interesting folks. I have been doing the same thing as Tim and contacting ... 
What's My Problem?
Hey Tsrart,I agree, it is the amp that's coming up short. The Rotel RB-981 (130w @ 8ohms) is a fine amp but, most truly muscular amps will double their power at 4 ohms. You are only getting an additional 70wpc at 4 ohms, that's not enough. I had a... 
TransParent Cables vs. Others
Hello All,I owned the Transparent Super XL speaker cables and Ultra XL balanced ICs and was very happy with them. I was in the market for a DVD mod and spoke to Stan Warren. He mentioned a set of cables he was making and selling for $105 for a 10'...

Hey Rosstaman,I hope my post made you laugh half as much as I'm laughing right now. I've been able to overcome the shakes and come to my senses enough to realize how much I love my system. Sorry to disappoint you........John

How Often Do You Listen To Live Music??
Hey All,I don't get to live music shows often enough. The last show I attended was Live opening for Jane’s Addiction at Madison Square Garden last year. I went to see a co-worker who did an acoustic one man show down in the village. Before the Gar... 
Concertos w/ REL Strata III or Grand Piano
Hello Shoe11,I would go with the Concertos and the REL Strata III. With the Concertos you have a wonderful monitor that will reproduce excellent highs and sweet mids. The amp will drive them very well if it does not have to extend any extra juice ... 
Improve the sound of my CD Player?
Hey Phil,I had a similar situation with my system. I was using my Pioneer Elite DVC-36 for both DVD and CD playback and I felt I was missing something. I posted the same question as you and got some very helpful tips. The one that stands out the m... 
Best amp to drive B&W N805's
Hey Y'all,The match made in heaven is B&W and Krell. I can honestly say that I have never heard the N series sound better than when Krell powers them. I have owned both and had different power amps pushing the N805 on other occasions in my hom...

I just want to get rid of it, O.K!!!!!
