| Bel Canto Ref 1000MK2 or Wyred SX1000MK2 Oh no, the Cult of Spectron has entered the fray. I have never understood the cult around these below avg Class D amps. They are the very definition of BRIGHT to me, with every speaker I have heard them with, and they are SO overpriced for Class D... | |
| does a subwoofer kill stereo sound? I'm with MagFan an Stringstee, on this, I think a sub always adds to a system, no matter what the speakers.I am shocked when I turn off the sub(s) with my Maggies, how much bass they put out. Then when I put the sub back into the system (I cross i... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000MK2 or Wyred SX1000MK2 I like all of these amps, but would be surprised it you liked either of those Class D amps with your B & W's as much as you like the JC-1's. | |
| VPI Classic and new cartridge - which one? Make sure it's a well shielded cartridge, or it will hum. Also, I found with this rig I didn't need the SDS and sold it. The VTA tower is nice, wish I had gotten that.I had someone very knowledgable suggest Soundsmith and I have not been dissappoi... | |
| integra dhc 80.1 I was wondering what the difference is between this model and the 80.2? Looks like I am moving, and building a new house, so I am starting to look at gear for a dedicated media room. It will be primarily for 2 channel, but I will have a projector ... | |
| Surface Noise - another question My rig with the new Soundsmith cartridge is pretty near dead quiet as well. Thank you Michael Fremer for the suggestion several months back. | |

| End to All Power Problems Well, even if you use a gas turbine, such as GE, Seimens, Mitsubishi, Rolls Royce or Mitsui 7 series or the like, with new heat rates below 7, which acutally ups the effciency, you still need to put that power over transmission lines, which create... | |
| Battle of affordable pre-amps: Rotel vs Parasound Parasound, John Curl, and they look cooler. | |
| Surface Noise - another question Hifihvn, great piece of info. I never thought about that. I have found that the cartridge makes the most difference in quiet for me. I recently got a higher output cartridge, that is better shielded, and man, everything has gotten MUCH quieter. | |
| Surface Noise - another question hate to say this, but it could be the room. In fact, it could just be dust drifting on the platter. I find that I sometimes get that problem and spend a lot of time keeping dust away from the equipment area. It looks like you have carpet and curta... | |
| ARC Ref-300 or 600 or 210: Which sounds best ? What a great problem to have!! ARC stuff sounds so freakin good.I vote for the new 210, only because it's new. But I have never heard any ARC amps that were not stellar. Very buttery smooth sound, with great dynamics and extension.Good luck. | |

| End to All Power Problems Magfan, sorry butyou actually have all of that wrong from top to bottom.This technology will generate power and only as much as you use. You will have no excess to sell back to your electric provider. You will only be billed for the Nat Gas that y... |
