| What's the Best Speakers use with the CAT JL2/SL1? It's an understatement to say that I'm using CAT JL-1's quite successfully with Soundlab M1's. At a very understated 100W each, these monoblocks control the -- difficult to drive -- M1's superbly. | |
| Sound Lab Millennium 1 spl ability? Although quite late to this thread, I wanted to concur with Albert's above assessment. Prior to the Soundlab M1's, the higher the SPL, the better, or so I thought. After obtaining the M1's, I too thought volume was low, only my SPL meter told me o... | |
| universal remote for Wadia? For my Wadia 861, Im using a One For All Model 8810 learning unit as I recall, $30-$40 at Wal-Mart. The Wadia codes are NOT programmed in, but transferring (learning) the codes from the Wadia to the 8810 is easy. Plus, the 8810s keys are bac... | |

| Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES Before posting above, I expressed my sentiments to Blue Note, and as others have suggested, the more that do, the better.I spent too many years making compilations the hard way -- via reel-to-reel and cassettes. I don't intend going backwards. We ... | |
| Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES I agree with Budrew's sentiments, "punishing" the good consumers like those of us posting on A-Gon, is not a wise marketing decision. I have payed for 100% of the music that I own, and I've spent hours ripping my favorite tracks onto my 120 Gig ha... | |
| Does a non-audiophile have to calibrate? QUOTE: My theory is that there are few select people in the world who can hear the nuances of a song and can hear the differences that a cable can make. I am certainly not one of them.My experience suggests that the “select few” is much greater th... | |

| Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio? Now that this threads direction is more car related than audio, I thought I would add my 2-cents.Being fat, happy and maintaining the status quo, it could be argued that the U.S. big-3 were initially blind-sided by the compact vehicle invasion fr... | |

| Mark Levinson 432 vs. 336 I had a 336 and never compared it to a 432, but tried it against Parasound JC-1's. With my Soundlab M1 speakers, the JC-1's would be my amps of choice, and at $4k less than the MSRP of the 336. If your tied to SS, the Parasound's are tough act to ... |
