Classe compared to the Theta Dreadnaught
The Classe HT amps are quality products that tend to sound somewhat tube like. Those reviewed have been praised and I as a 35 year audio hobbyist find it offensive when I read a poster like Vengerltc referring to a product as "crap." In a recent S... 
Pre with the BEST 5.1 inputs
The Classe-75 is a wonderful preamp for 5.1 analog inputs. It is now discontinued and can be had for well less than half its original $7000 price tag. 
Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers
It's been about one month since this discussion ended and there have been very few Dunlavy speakers for sale. I guess most of us were quite happy with what we purchased. 
Which system? EAD - THETA - CLASSE
The Classe SSP-75 is a wonderful processor. One reviewer indicated that it bettered any that he had auditioned for music reproduction. He did pair the processor with a Theta power amp. I believe that all the quality products discussed are unique a... 
SACD on Redbook Player
I recently saw the Stones at Pac Bell Park. They were great and I pulled out some of my Stones records. The recordings were awful 
home theatre amp recommendation
The Classe CAV150 offers 6 150 Watt channels. It is bridgeable to offer 1-3 300 Watt channels. It is also very musical. I've partnered it with a Mark Levinson which drives my front 2 channels and i bridge all outputs to match the power out of my M... 
Opinions on New Reel to Reel Tapes
Where can I purchase these tapes? 
Tube pre into SS Amps for Home Theater?
I use an ARC Ref2 and an ML333 and it sounds wonderful. Most prefer this combination to the ARC tube power amp I own. Good luck 
Opinions, Classe Omega verse Levinson 333 or 336
I too compared both Levinson and Classe and went home with the ML333. I also own a pair of Audio Research Classic 150s. My front end is an Audio Research Ref 2. Recently my local audio club held auditions at different homes. All who listened to bo... 
Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers
The CC-2 center channel speaker I ordered has arrived and it is wonderful. The workmanship appears top notch and it beautifully mates with my SC-4as. As usual this Dunlavy speaker would have been reasonably priced at full list. It's a crime that t... 
Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers
I just ordered a CC-2 center speaker to go with my SC-4as. It is unlikely that there would be many opportunities to find one used. 
Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers
I own a pair of SC-4a speakers. They were purchased to replace my B & W 810 II speakers. I have been an audiophile for 35 years+ and these are by far the best speakers I have ever owned. The base is incredible and both piano and guitar come al... 
Best bargain ARC tube pre amp around a grand
Ken, I used to own an SP-9. There is a resistor change that I believe is described in the manual that will increase the gain of the phono loop. I had no problem with a low output MC cartridge.Jeff 
Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS?
I once had a claim ejected, but I fought it and won. You must prove to them that the packing wasn't the problem. Possibly going back to the manufacturer of the speakers and comparing to the original shipping method.Good luck,Jeff 
Calling all Nor Cal Dunlavy SC-IVa or SC-5 Owners
I own a pair of SC IVa speakers. I have an ARC Ref 2 pre and either an ARC Classic 250 (pair) or an ML333 as my power amp(s). Jeff 408-919-1804
