| Help buying a television Plasma is Still King. Good luck trying to find a Pioneer Elite Kuro. There are good alternatives though. The latest LCDs such as the Samsung 8500 have very good PQ. Personally though I still much prefer a plasma picture. | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D I've heard both the 800D, 802D, and 803D. I've also heard the 800N and 801N. To my mind, the re-design incorporating the diamond tweeter makes the newer 'D' versions a considerably better speaker. I found the overall sound presentation to be more ... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? Spectron - Awesome. Spectron amps deliver a natural and realistic sound for pretty much any genre. Immediately noticalbe are these attributes; transient speed with no overhang - resulting in a tremendous sense of control but in a very natural way,... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Sorry but I have a hard time buying into the notion that one has to be educated to 'listen' properly for slight differences, especially in this instance. Perhaps to study the subtle points of a system's character there is validity to analytical li... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Have you tried a good tube preamp? I've found that tube preamps can generally bring the music alive, and this is not to suggest that the best SS preamps are incapable of capturing the essence of the music, but in my experience - just not in the sa... | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5, Classe CA-200 or AR-D400 I own the Mark Levinson No 27 (two for biamping). Having owned several different solid state amps and having heard many different models in other systems, for my tastes, the No. 27 is the best Solid State can do. The No 20 monoblocks do offer a ta... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Hi TeaJay - great review. You nailed so many aspects of the Bent Audio TAP. I've had the TAP Silver (Silver transofrmers and wire) balanced version in my system now for about two months and it has been incredible. I also own two wonderful tube pre... | |
| The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find Amfibius,I thought very seriously about buying this speaker (the high version) but after extensive listening, chose not to proceed.The Violon is somewhat of a paradox, at once offering such a level of performance in one area that other designs can... | |
| Seeking opinions on PMC IB2 I listened extensively to these speakers and the smaller floor-standers in a showroom in Los Angeles about two years ago. I agree with Jaybo. They are absolutely superb (the smaller floor standers are too). I heard the IB2 in a large acoustically-... | |
| Kef 107 vs 107/2 I DisagreeI own the 107s and the 107/2. They do both sound similar, yet I prefer the sound of the 107s. They seem a little more coherent to me. The ability to biamp is all well and good and that is how I have my 107/2 set up. But to be honest ther... | |
| List of top phono preamps best An extraordinary design by Scott Frankland. Battery operated phono stage. Eight tubes; 4 6dJ8/6922 type, 2 12AX7 type, 2 12AU7 type. I've not heard a lot of different preamps, but I can tell you that this MFA was in a different league in terms of ... |
