| In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ? I apologize that this thread is getting lengthy because of my lack of information. The amp (SS) takes at least 24 hours to warmup and sound its best. Consequently, I would just like to leave it on 24/7. The CD player (SS) manufacturer recommends t... | |
| Review: Arcam Diva CD72 CD Player Well that review was written almost 5 years ago, with the equipment being in my system (at that time) almost 6 years ago. Since that point in time, my system has changed considerably, the player has been sold, and the industry has made significant... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Albert Porter's Dali Megalines. They are outrageously good! :-) Cheers!M | |
| In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ? Ken,It did matter with the equipment I am demo'ing. Last night I turned off the pre and there was a small "pop" noise through my loudspeaker. I cannot remember which order I was turning off the components because I was extremely tired and wasn't p... | |
| In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ? Stevecham,Thank you for your response. What should be done if I want to keep the amp (SS) on all the time as well as the CD player (SS)? The preamps ~ main and phono ~ are both tubes so I would like to turn those off after each listening session.T... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Lee,I ran out of time yesterday and did not have time to add some additional information that might be of use to you. I had a similar issue with my Wilson Audio Sophia Series II loudspeakers. After 3 weeks or so, I had concerns about how revealing... | |

| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 I demo'd the ARC 300.2 amp and ARC LS26 preamp in my system (Ayre CX7e CD player; ARC PH5 Phono preamp; Linn LP12/Ittok LVII/Lyra Argo/Lingo; Wilson Audio Sophia Series II loudspeakers; Shunyata Hydra 4; various cables including AQ speaker cables ... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Quoted from Leemincy, "Hey, maybe it's the loud speakers! Problem solved."Sounds like Lee is referring to getting the baby to sleep, rather than a complaint about the Wilsons. :-) I disagree with the above comments which claim the Watt Puppy 6 is ... | |
| cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra Hi Raul,I have not had the good fortune to be able to audition or hear any of the phono preamps that you mention (FM Acoustics is represented by a local dealer that I do not purchase from; ASR nor darTZeel have local dealer representation, that I ... | |
| cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra I disagree with Raul's statement on 01/07/07. Jeff's ARC PH5 is more than up to the task of providing excellent support for many top tier cartridges including the Lyra Helikon. My system includes an ARC PH5 and a Lyra Argo...both sound marvelous i... | |
| What is the best CD player under $2000 ? That's a no-brainer. An Ayre CX7e. It is an excellent player in and of itself, and you'll think you are hearing a miracle when it is matched with an Ayre AX7e and connected via balanced interconnects. | |
| Ayre vs VTL vs BAT I cannot speak to the VTL, BAT, but I am very knowledgeable about Ayre equipment and the manufacturer. Let me tell you that Charlie Hansen is the consummate professional, as well is Steve, Michael, and all the other individuals that make Ayre what... | |
| Looking to get into Vinyl If you purchase used, make sure you know the questions to ask the seller to try to decipher if the unit was operated properly. As a possible "newbie" owner (and we have all been there at one time or another), the table might have experienced more ... | |
| Vince Gill's Latest Release...4 CDs, 43 songs with I was of the same mindset as you until I saw him in concert last week and he explained the background on this 4-CD release. He originally wrote all the songs for a one-LP release. But, that is where fate takes over. There is more to the story here... |
