Dynaudio Contours with Conrad Johnson 2500a
Hey Pettyfeversk,I agree with Perkadin about the Sim Audio with the Dyns. I first heard the 3.0 with the W-5 and it was a very nice match. I own the 1.3MkII and I drive them with a Plinius SA-250MKIV and they sing. The Plinius goes 250wpc and doub... 
The plight of SACD....
Hey Twl,I'm a CD guy and I applaud your post and commend you on the eloquence with which you have handle this attack. I am not a big analog fan but, then again, the last time I listened to vinyl was on my Techniques TT through a Nikko receiver, ci... 
The plight of SACD....
Hey 2ms,I have an HT/music system and I find no such seduction in the idea of having to buy, or in most cases re-buy, a whole new collection of music. I'm having a good time discovering re-mastered CDs, MOFIs and the like to help enhance the enjoy... 
Is 5.1 Really This Bad?
Well said, Steuspeed. 
Is 5.1 Really This Bad?
Hey all,This might have been a case of bad equipment/room set up. God knows I've heard my share of HT systems, some good and others not so good. I love HT for what it is for me. I never have to stand in line to see a movie, no obnoxious people, ex...

B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30
Hey lchapper,As I said before, my preferences are just that, my preferences. The speakers may sound better or worse to the next guy in the next room and that is usually the case. Also, as I said before, you should try and listen to the speakers in... 
B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30
Hello lchapper,I was trying to make the same choice as you, about a year ago. I went to one dealer and listened to the N804 and then went directly to the next dealer and listened to the F30. I was more impressed with the F30s. They offered a bigge... 
Need speaker cables for HT System
Hello Rxlarry99,I've done very well with cables made by Stan Warren. He was the "S" in PS Audio. Now he is retired and does modifications on DVDs, CDPs, amps and pre-amps. He has sold me interconnects and speaker cables and I will soon place an or...

Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Hey all, I drive a black on black, '95 Acura Integra 4d Special Edition. Unfortunately it is starting to show wear and tear, I use it every day for work and I spend from 3-6 hrs on the road, in the city, making frequent stops, six days a week. I p... 
Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps
Hey all,I've never heard the Tenor amps my self, although they have quite a reputation. Personally, I would take the amps over a Miata even if that car were given to me. Just my opinion.....John 
5-channel amp for Revel F30s, C30, and M20's
Hello Xavierzx11,I've owned the M-20's and found the entire Revel line that you own to be a very difficult load to drive. I would agree with Ksales about the Proceed HPA-2 & '3 or the Bryston high-powered 2 & 3 ch amps. I would consider no... 
Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal?
