| Vote for the best speakers in 10K range No such thing. Speakers are exceptionally room dependent. Are we talking in an ideal room? For an apartment? | |
| 24/96 Format HDCD is a propietary system for recording more than 16/44 onto a regular CD. HDCD discs can be played back on an ordinary player and the effect is a bit like analog compression. Played back on an HDCD compatible player, the effect on well produced... | |
| Can Home Theater be "High End"? Besides, are there any movie soundtracks that sound as refined and natural as the best stereo discs? Not from what I've heard, and I've heard some of the so-called best on the so-called best HT setups. While it is possible to make an HT setup that... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Bose certainly deserves the all around award for hype, horribleness, and hubris. However, I once heard a pair of cheap Kenwoods that were so bad the manager actually told me to go to another store to buy speakers as a kindness. | |
| Please recommend Tube pre-amp(s) If you like the CJ sound GET IT!!! Others will be different but not better. Have several preamps and often return to CJ both as reference and for enjoyment. Some have more detail, or are quicker, or are tubier. But the balance seems just right, es... | |
| Best Audiophile recordings 45 rpm reissues of the Mercury Living Presence recordings. As a REFERENCE, only classical/acoustic counts. Rock music is ok, but for judging accuracy you're into preference not reference with rock/pop and other heavily miked studio stuff. Nothing ... | |
| Best turntable at $3500 used. Given the number of VPI TNT's with JMW arm for sale recently, this is virtually a no brainer. TNT is much better than Basis 2500. JMW arm is comparable/better than Graham 2. Only much more expensive Basis Debut Gold in that line is comparable/bett... | |
| Magnepan or Martin Logan Oops. I noticed that you were talking about CLS. No woofer. Ok, it really needs bass. But even more transparent. | |
| Magnepan or Martin Logan Both good. I think MLs are harder to match with amps. I've heard many ML setups which were too bright, or thin because of the amps not the speakers. Done properly they can't be beat for transparency and clarity with full bodied warmth. But the Mag... | |
| Best Turntable/Cartridge on a Buget? Rega or VPI. But if you're in to classical don't use the Rega cartridge. Switch to Grado Reference (or Blue point Special if you don't mind a slight glare in the high end). | |
| Lvnson 39,Wadia 850, Merid 508.24 best? With those quality components I think system matching might be more important. Post your other stuff and preferences and see if experienced types respond. | |
| GRADO SONATA 1.5V (THOUGHTS/SUGESTIONS) If you like classical or acoustic music and natural warmth, can't do any better. Some other cartridges are more "exciting" or "detailed." Usually they have a tipped up high end or sound rougher, like the Regas. But all sub $800 ones I've heard are... | |
| Best Tube preamp under 2.5k Used CAT's are nice as a reference. Also Audible Illusions, and stuff from CJ, ARC, VTL. But if you really want to soften things up, get an old conradjohnson PV5. Not the most neutral, but wonderful for hard, electronic sounding stuff. About $500=$600 ... | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Clayton, Pass, Rowland, in that order. Worldwide, I might add Plinius in the top three. All others are too hard or unmusical. Esp. Krell, Boulder, and Threshold. |
