Need suggestions on upgradeing from B&W N805
Have you listened to the Thiel 2.4's? They're very, very good for the money.Or, if you do want to stay with a monitor, and get a really exceptional one that will give you the true midrange bliss you want, I'll sell you my B&W Silver Signature'... 
Musical Fidelity A3cr Upgrade Question
I replaced my Krell KRC-3 Pre-Amp and KSA-50S Power Amp with the MF A308cr Pre-Amp and Power Amp. It was a fantastic upgrade.After talking to a dealer no less, he suggested that I replace the A308cr Pre-Amp with a good tube Pre-Amp, but keep the A... 
need help on synergistic cables
Two years ago I spent 3-4 months auditioning cables in the range of $500.00 - $1,500.00 a run from The Cable Company. I was a wits end when an old friend asked me if he could come over and hook up his Sonoran Plateau cables from www.audiopoints.co... 
Upgrading from CJ Premier 17LS to 17LS2?
I was finally able to take a road trip and sit down with the 17LS2 for a few hours a month ago. I intended to buy one around Christmas because I loved my c-j DAC, but couldn't find anyone in the area that had one to audition.I ended up buying a He... 
Krell KBL or Krell KRC-3 or neither?
I had a KRC-3 for about ten years. I've read over and over that it's a classic and still a piece to own, it's that good.$1470.00 seems $100.00-$200.00 too high though. I think around $1250.00 might be a fairer price, but that's me.If you want a re... 
Soundproofing
Remember one important thing: THE AIR VENT. I thought I'd soundproofed my basement ceiling with unfaced fiberglass insulation, then 1/2 inch styrofoam panels, then a suspended ceiling with sound retardent ceiling panels.Guess what? The sound flowe...

best used amp around $2000 for B&W N802s
Musical Fidelity A308cr Power Amp. In fact, if you could get two and vertically bi-amp, it'd be awesome!

I want profoundly better bass
I agree with Stehno. If you have your equipment sitting on their feet or on some damping material, try spiking them with brass spikes (I use AudioPoints, www.audiopoints.com), and definitely don't forget to spike your speakers.The spikes tighten a... 
Should I pay a lot for a DAC?
I just read Sundance45's answer, and then looked at his 'for sale' items. If you could afford to buy his Krell KRC-3 pre-amp, it would be a piece that would probably last you the rest of your life.I had a KRC-3 for 10 years before trading it, and ... 
Stereovox HDXV vrs i2Digital x-60
I don't know either, EXCEPT, the Stereovox HDXV is the newer of the two, so I assume the HDXV is the better. Read the review at http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/stereovox/hdxv.html. 
Help me pick a digital cable
Stereovox HDXV ($100.00), it's a great cable. If you'll call John Pharo at The Cable Company, 1.800.fat.wyre, they'll be a great help. Their website is: www.fatwyre.com. They even have a cable library where you can check cables out and try them fo... 
Should I pay a lot for a DAC?
If you're really serious about this, or find yourself getting more serious as the quality of your listening grows, you're going to find out that EVERYTHING is important.Not wanting to scare you off, but you're going to find that your system is a w... 
Should I pay a lot for a DAC?
Well, it's the DAC's job to take the 1's and 0's being read off of the CD by the Transport and translate it into the music. Whatcha think?
