| Preamp Recommendations For the Parasound JC 5 Amp I used a JC-2 preamp for about 2 years and found it to be quiet and transparent sounding. This unit is a good value, especially on the used market. (The BP version is the same, other than adding HT bypass.) In my system, the downside of the JC-... | |
| Amplifier upgrade for Kef Reference 4c trio Wow, quite impressive! | |
| Amplifier upgrade for Kef Reference 4c trio Hi jlotman. I’ve been considering buying a pair of 4c’s (at their discount price) for a two channel system, and I really like the rosewood finish, which KEF has discontinued. For the R & L channels, did you just set them directly on the floo... | |
| $6000 budget question I used to own F30's in the early 2000's, and they are at the top of list of equipment I regret selling. Amazing performance for a reasonable list price of $3500 back in the day. Since I foolishly sold the F30's, it's been a revolving door of speak... | |
| Questions About VPI Scout Motor Noise Actusreus,Thanks for sharing the previous thread on this topic. The speed stability of the motor seems fine, and I'm not 100% sure that it hasn't always made the small noise I'm hearing. | |

| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 I've been using the SA-11S1 for the past three months. Prior to that, I used the SA-1 for 1.5 years, and briefly, an Esoteric DV-50. My sense is that the SA-11S1 is the best sounding player of these three. With well recorded SACD's, the SA-11S1 so... | |
| Subwoofer choice with B&W 805 Signatures? I have had good success using a B&W ASW-700 sub crossed over at 50 Hz with my S805's running full range. The ASW-700 plays quite deep (-3 dB at 22 Hz) yet it's not overpowering and doesn't muddy up the sound like other subs I've tried. Also, i... | |
| B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30 I narrowed my choice down to these two earlier this year and ultimately decided on the F30's, as they offer better bass extension and seem just as good (or better) as the N804's in other areas. So far, I've been very happy with the F30's. Good luc... | |
| Outdoor antenna setup Hello Len. The classic outdoor antenna for FM is Channel Master's Stereo Probe 9, a 9-element directional antenna which has unfortunately been discontinued. The Winegard HD6065 is very similar and is still available for about $75. It should be mou... |
