| new at this If a store told you that you need new cables, they have to be right! Tell them to prove it, to give you some demos to take home and try. If they won't do that (they can get your credit card number for security) they're jerks that you may not be ab... | |
| Intregrated Amp for Thiel 2.4 s Glai,I don't know how the A308cr pre-amp and amp compare to the Tri-Vista or KW500 integrated's.I'm sure a MF dealer or the US distributer, Signal Path, 'http://www.signalpathint.com/', could give you an honest evaluation. They've always emailed m... | |
| Intregrated Amp for Thiel 2.4 s I just auditioned the Thiel 2.4's with the Musical Fidelity KW500 yesterday in Illinios. I actually went to audition the conrad-johnson Premier 17LS2. I spent four hours listening to the c-j with Vienna Acoustics speakers. Then the Musical Fidelit... | |
| N802 speaker cable suggestion I've replaced my Kimber silver speaker cable that comes with the B&W Silver Signature's with Sonoran Plateau speaker cable. It's a lot more natural and less grainy than the Kimber's, although I didn't even realize the Kimber's were grainy unti... | |

| Original spikes for B&W N802s...who has them? I lost one of the spikes to my Silver Signatures and B&W sent me one for free, however they did want $2,400.00 for replacement crossovers. I assume that you've already contacted them directly.I've since replaced my spikes with AudioPoints (www... | |
| What age did the "audio bug" hit you? I was 11 when "The House Of The Rising Sun" came out in 1965 and swept me into the rock world. I was already playing in the grade school band and grew up with the piano. One of my uncle's was a college professor and had a Fischer tube receiver. On... | |
| Speakers slipping on speaker stands First of all, are your speakers moving because they're not level?If they are level, and you can bolt them down, here's what I'm doing with mine. I have them spiked to the stand using Audiopoints and their corresponding discs. It tightens up everth... | |
| What is a 'fast' amp? If you want to hear what's on you album or CD, would you rather hear as closely as possible what's actually recorded or something smoothed over?Think of it this way. An amp is taking in what's coming to it, amplifying it and passing it along to th... | |
| Stereovox versus Orchids of Kimber. Chris Sommovigo is really nice and helpful, and he'll talk your ear off when you call him. The background of the old Orchid and the new Stereovox is this, and it makes sense, the connectors are as important as the rest of the cable. It doesn't mat... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy I heard the WP5's quite a bit years ago. What impressed me about them more than anything was the fact that you could be anywhere in the house, and they sounded really good. There was nothing that ever got on my nerves no matter how long I listened... | |
| Reference 3a MM vs De Capo vs De Capo i You can read the reviews on the De Capo and the De Capo i at http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/archives/. The same reviewer reviewed both, and gives his thoughts on the differences.I have only heard the De Capo i's, but I've sat down with them... | |

| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? I haven't so much as bought an album for the art, but I have gone out and bought art books because of the album art: M.C.Escher (Mott The Hoople's first album) and Roger Dean (a lot of Yes' albums). |
