Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2?
OK Bo, I see where your coming from. Lots of unpersuasive rhetoric and no answer to my simple questions - what were the test parameters and equipment that you used and do you have written results? Looks like you don't.But I have gleaned this from ... 
Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2?
Bo, see you haven't changed since last year. Besides peddling the same brands you sell, your still spurting your same subjective opinions as facts too. But here's your chance to prove me wrong...Could you tell us what the test parameters were and ... 
Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2?
Bo, your back! How's the audio sales business? I see your still promoting the brands you sell and trashing everything else as 2D.In this case though, I am confused. Per your above post..."Onkyo is the only brand who can give depth and wide in the ... 
" Dumb and dumber " audiophile question ?
Any of the "What's the best of" questions that we see daily. 
Best Hi-end speakers?
There is no best of anything. Only which speaker may be best for you. And how would anyone know that unless you supplied more specific information such as....Do you have amp? What it is? Is it capable of properly driving the speakers on your list?... 
Vincent Paul Home Theater Systems
Sound like "White Van" speakers to me and should be avoided at all costs. Just google it and one of the first hits about these systems is on Rip Off report. Good components seldom if ever, put full color pictures and all the bogus specs on the car... 
best-ish integrated amp for movie and tv watching.
Well Bokkus, I wasn't really trying to convince you to go with the PM15S2 as much as I was simply answering your questions about it's extreme quality, lack of midrange control, and how compares to a PM8004. I still think you made a wise choice.Thi... 
best-ish integrated amp for movie and tv watching.
WRT your question about the lack of a midrange control on the PM15S2 Bokkus, I have no idea. I never use the treble and bass controls either electing to feed the purest signal possible into my speakers.Never touched the tone controls once; don't n... 
best-ish integrated amp for movie and tv watching.
Like Nonoise, I own a Marantz PM15S2 also and cannot say enough good things about it. In fact, it replaced Parasound seperates and has taken my 4 Ohm Vienna Acoustics speakers to new heights. To also quote you Bokkus..."build quality is my main co... 
m3i musical fidelity for focal 826v
Your Focal 836V's are 8 Ohm speakers with a fairly high sensitivity of 92 db. A very easy load for an amplifier to drive. You will have no problems whatsoever driving them with your M3i.Same answer for the Focal 726V's too as you seem to have star... 
Upgrade mat or platter on pro-ject debut carbon?
Where I live, static is always a problem especially during the winter months. I agree, the felt mat that Pro-ject supplies is pretty useless often doing more harm than good.I really like cork mats for keeping both static and dust down. I recently ... 
Snap, crackle, pop
Yeah, considering where you live, you don't have a static problem. So my guess is the rice krispies come more from worn vinyl than dirt.Glad to help with the "white ring". It is a telltale indicator that the records were not taken care of, either ... 
Snap, crackle, pop
Forgive the long post but maybe as a used record buyer and Spin Clean owner myself, some of the below will help...I use a Spin Clean and actually find it a pretty effective record cleaning system. Just don't try and clean 50 records with one solut... 
Hegel h300 or Krell S550i or Music Fidelity M6500i
I must really come to Soix's defense also. Not that he needs it. But in this case, he was trying awfully hard to be nice and not offend but sometimes the truth just hurts Brother...and you gotta tell it like it is.What are trying to accomplish her... 
I have no idea what these speakers are worth
You may want to go over to AudioKarma and ask about the value of your speakers. They love vintage at that site. Just some helpful advice. Leave out the part about wanting to sell them to your son. If you don't, you'll most likely get the same kind...
