| Is the NAD 3020 the best value of all time? I thought the NAD had much better weight and magic tone, where the Nait was more detailed but sterile and thinish,no suduction effect at all,think paper-airplane... I don't know what the big deal is with the naits,I have good sources and many spea... | |
| Older Altec horn speakers "There are far better speakers from that era than the 890C."Please tell! | |
| Quicksilver monoblock amp stands. Well,I tried short speaker cables.about 18".It did not sound better in any way at all,that I could tell.So much for that theory.You never know,its good to check things like this out. to see for yourself.Thanks for the recomendations. | |
| Review: NAD 3020 Receiver The NAD 3020's Tone is what makes it so good.The tone is right/pleasing. Better than most amps... old or new,and it's dynamics are just great. It does not sound all HIFI. With good source and cables it still kicks a**It's smooth too, unlike a lot ... | |
| Need Opinions on the following The Primare should be smoother and have more meaningful detail(ie musical) than Rotel and Adcom. I think they would be a step back...Goodluck | |

| Quicksilver amp owners I know nothing about replacing parts,I do have some PIO caps in my ASL 1003DT integrated and its a keeper.I personally don't think the Quicksilvers lack, so I wouldn't change anything.Maybe talk to Mike about oil caps,I would be interested in hear... | |
| Quicksilver amp owners Pulled out the KT-88's and tried some SED El-34's. Much better voices,this is a great tube for the Quickies. Richness now, that was missing with Lions,everything else great too.Nice dynamics as well. 3D liquid sound.These will stay in for awhile..... | |
| Quicksilver amp owners They sounded lean and mean,no kidding. Even after a 60 hours break in, most likely the amp and tubes didnt jive well together,I just put them in the Quicksilvers,to early to have much to say. I did notice some more power. Not as edgy and lean as w... | |
| Quicksilver amp owners I have a quad of Gold Lion KT88 re-issue. I did not like them in a KT-88 power amp I own.I'm going to roll them in the mid monos and I'll repert back. These amps take all kinds of power tubes, I'm using the the EH fat bottles now and they are wond... |
