| Best full orchestra recordings? Jduridan, I couldn't agree more. That is a truly fantastic CD both in terms of sonics and interpretation. | |
| JmLab 716S You might get as much if not better bang for your buck with a great integrated. How about a used BAT VX-300x? It's a great little piece, and will most certainly "max out" the potential of your JMs. In fact, I'd be interested to know why you've cho... | |
| Plinius 9200 Driving Magnepan 3.6Rs What size room are we talking about here? What speakers are you using now? | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? That's an excellent point. Is it passive or active? | |
| What age did the "audio bug" hit you? Well, I remember dancing around to Paul Simon's Graceland and the West Side Story soundtrack when I was around 6. That was 15 years ago... My family owns a furniture store, and there's a high end audio place nearby. The guy who owns it wanted to d... | |

| general query about cables on Agon If they're are authorized dealer, shouldn't have a commercial account and announce themselves as such?Anyway, a round of emails confirmed some sketchiness in this particular situation, so I won't be buying this time! | |
| general query about cables on Agon Indeed, the "make their own" crowd is what I'm worried about here. I'm looking at Shunyata, and I figure that's ripe for the pickin', about as "name brand" as you can get. Someone who's feedback is all for cable sales, only sells never buys, and h... | |
| Mini monitors for vinyl.... You might be able to find a pair of Silverline SR11's for around $600. Damn good speakers. Fairly neutral, but a bit on the romantic side. | |
| transparency vs. detailed "most people seem to think that a detailed amp with a detailed speaker will not work"I'm not sure that's true. I'd say that most people look for as much of this attribute as they can get, as long as there are no tradeoffs involved. Of course, ther... | |
| Anyone talked to Dean from PSE? Has anyone noticed how common threads like this have been in the last few months? What the heck is going on with these manufacturers/importers/etc? Yeesh! | |
