| Simaudio CD-1 and i-1 combo I own th i-1, but am using an Arcam cd73T instead of the cd-1. I really like the i-1, as its detailed, transparent, with highs that aren't bright and the soundstage provides good placement. I think its a good buy in the price range. There have bee... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 vs Revel Salon2--fair comparison? Auditioning would be best, but absent that I would vote to buy the Revels. Why? It's their top of the line speaker---at the price your getting them at you're getting a speaker from a higher price and performance segment than the Wilson's.Secondly,... | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. Sdrenslow - I think the presentation is very well done. Wilson has put a lot of thought into the redesign. IMO progressive WATT/Puppy's have gotten more transparent and the bass has improved (flatter). With trickle-down technology improvements (mi... | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. Interesting point. Does anyone have sales #'s for the Mini and the V3? | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. Thanks Wsill. I tried to find the newsletter on their website but it seems the only way to get it is to become a subscriber. Can you post a link to it? thanks! | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. I went to the website and I don't see anything more than what had been up for the past few weeks. I want to see her full figure."...Have you seen her? Oh tell me have you seen her." from some 70's song. | |
| ARCAM + WILSON Sophia review Musicwave- congratulations on your new rig. Happy to hear you've made a big improvement by changing the speakers. The Sophia is a revealing speaker, so when the day comes that you think about making an upgrade, changing the int amp will present ma... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. How about this one: there's a wild long solo on a song on Don Ellis:Live at the Filmore. I don't recall the song's name but it was wild and loose as was the whole concert that night. Those who know Don Ellis will know what I mean. Sorry I don't ha... | |

| Need $1500 integrated amplification suggestions... solid state will sound different than vacuum tubes. I own the SIM i-1 integrated amplifier and can recommend it. Read the reviews to see if you're interested in auditioning it. I found that, unlike tubes, I didn't have to "baby" it; rather you can... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? Two come to mind:1) Woody Herman: Children of Lima (originally lp) The arrangement of 25 or 6 to 4 is brilliant.2) Pat Williams: Threshold (originally lp) great jazz big band | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? Alot of good ideas from the above responses. I'll talk my book - I own the Sim Audio i-1 integrated amp. $1500/ 50 watts/ch into 8 ohms. Very happy with sound. Prefer it to NAD, Creek. good luck | |
| Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not? Hi Nickt, I heard Krell amps with Eidolons at Sound by Singer (whn they were a Avalon dealer) and the sound was great! While the Krell amps did there part, credit goes to Sound by Singer for the total setup. I still think back to that demonstratio... | |
| Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor I had owned the ELS-3 speaker and upgraded to the Epos M5. The speakers are on a bookshelf. One of my concerns about any speaker being placed on a bookshelf is the degree to which the bass gets muddy/boomy. I had not noticed any significant bass p... | |
