| Best cd player under $600 used for system I hear the NAD 541i is a good one. | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? I would highly recomment that you at least try an Atmasphere so that you can experience the true sound of a pure analog OTL piece of equipment. Does not matter whether you find it better, worse or indifferent. You just need to hear it when it matc... | |
| Jolida JD100. How good is it? To reinforce earlier comments, I own a Jolida JD-100 and find it imminently pleasing to listen to. It provides good dynamics, neutral or mid-row perspective, and sweet treble and great musicality. Punchy and pleasing is a good way to describe it. ... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? "Gs5556" is pretty much on the money. You have to be careful with what, and how they are mated with speakers. But, when they are matched correctly they exhibit a most voluptuous, detailed, delicate and dynamic soundstage. In short it has that "rea... | |
| Which Sunfire Sub for my Magnepan 1.6's Check out the Virtual Bass Technologies at the link below. They have recieved a lot of good press when mating their subs with Maggies. They were at the CES show this month and several sites carried comments. The 6-moons site will be doing a review... | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... Were any comprimises made to the JC-1 in meeting the THX spec's? | |
| Kestrals: Good intro into two-ways? I would recommend the Magnepan 1.6 since your room is adequately large. These are available on the used market for approximately $1K. They are less affected by image shifting with frequency that often occurs when placed in rooms with vaulted ceili... | |
| odyssey amp's how do they compare to others The T117 was an average sounding tuner with very good sensitivity and selectivity. The audio sound performance was just average though. This tuner, like so many on the market, employed the standard do-it-all op-amps in the audio section yielding t... | |
| Arcam FMJ23T vs. Cary Audio 308 The FMJ23T has received universal praise from around the globe. I have listened to the CD23, it predecessor, and it was very balanced, reasonably dynamic, and liquid. I use the liquid sound because this is how I often describe analog. Its easy to ... | |
| I need suggestions for a minisystem. I own the Denon DM-50 and the transport drawer quit working after 3 months. In addition, when it was working the sonic character was very flat and pale. Maybe lifeless is a better word. I decided not to get it fixed since the sound quality was rel... | |
| Any pinnacle-quality SS unbalanced gear out there? Actually, there are many amplifiers on the market with unbalanced inputs. The Monarchys can be added to the list. Go with any amp mentioned in this thread and you will be in very good shape (assuming power requirements are met). | |
| 3B SST or 4B SST for N804s? Nice informative post Sdcampbell. Summed it up pretty well. | |
| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? I looked up the impedance curve on the 3.6 and it appears in the link below from a Stereophile review. From this data the lowest Z dip is on the high side of 3 ohms just above 10Khz. It looks to be a relatively benign 4 ohm speaker and not too dif... | |
| Finally Defined My Requirements. Recommendations? Actually, I do not think it has balanced inputs & outputs. And I am not sure what the differences between this and the 25 would be. The link below is a review and includes quite a bit of info on the SP-16. I am thinking seriously about one. ht... | |
| Pass Labs Service Looks like Pass rules in customer service. And, maybe in sound too - just love my aleph 30. |
