| Recommendations for my less than ideal setup Tpsonic gave you a very nice list. Maybe you could add the floorstanding Spendors and the AV123 XStatic speakers to it.All easy to drive, sound great, WAF-you're on your own. Have heard all these speakers with the Reference 3As at the top of the l... | |
| Need advice on which speakers I should audition? Audition as many as possible but you have to realize there are dealers that can't set up a system.Compile your listening experiences to written reviews and user reviews to validate opinion.Trust yours ears. Remember that you will be listening to t... | |

| Low cost Amp? Save up some money and get the Wyred 250 | |
| Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano Thanks to Goatwuss for defining my B&W snoozer comment. Thin, bright, fatiguing, boring and, yes, dynamic.Great for home theater! | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? 1972 KhornsRebuilt crossovers, new wiring, etc.When it's time to rock.nothing better! | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Ruggedized means stronger not better. All tubes should be checked for microphonics on an individual basis.That would be like saying Queen Latifah is a better singer than Beyonce because she outways her by 100lbs.Rugged makes a Marine not an opera ... | |

| Just bought a pair of GMA continuum 1s... GMAs have sounded great everytime I have heard them. Always one problem- WAF ,says they don't look Victorian! | |
| Shindo Latour vs Verity vs DeVore ..etc Have heard all the above. Went with the Reference 3A Grande Veenas.Had Harbeths and Spendors before the 3as. | |
| New amp or new cd player? James,The quality of sound rises as dollars spent rises. At some point the diminishing returns factor comes into play. Does the increase in dollars spent gain that much improvement.If you ever get a chance go to an audio show or go to an area that... | |
| Help Best 5-disc cd-changer........... The important point is to get a reliable changer. Add the DAC of choice. I have PS audios and have been very happy with the smooth output. Doesn't have the hard top end edge like the Benchmark I tried.Like my Sony Changers but the Wadia 170 is als... | |
| Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano Have heard all three speakers.Loved the Gallos,liked the Sonus Fabers a lot(just a bit too romantic),the B&Ws are snoozers and need a very lively front end. | |
| Which Component Needs to be Upgraded First The amp and cd are the weaker links. That being said I would use Gunting's advice and get a good Dac and replace your player as needed.The rest of your components can't make up for a poor source.GBI,GBO just like a computer | |
| MC275 Tube Rolling... Genelexs are in three of my amps. Great tubes. Reasonable price.Amperex ecc83 are the best of the bunch for sound and longevity. Also,can use-12ax7,12ax7a,7025,7025a,6681,ecc803,ecc803s, plus others.Telefunken ecc81, slightly dark but very clear a... |
