| Albums you use to test your gears? Bring an array of CD's with you to the store but be sure to include some that are not recorded that well meaning some that are NOT remastered and are of some older recordings say from 1960's and 70's. Any system will sound great if the music was r... | |
| Best Speakers match for NAD C372 Luciano33Can you explain what you mean by Rotel SS receivers not being warm? I just went with a brand new RSX-1057 A-V Rotel receiver and I find it very warm. I use it more for music than HT and it is very musical and IMO, warm. Can you explain? Y... | |
| Selling a favorite component to help out family Jessie91:I'm very touched by your message and really feel for you and yours. It makes you sit back and realize just what's most important in life. I just had surgery myself 3 weeks ago and I thank God above everyday for getting me through it. It's... | |
| Marantz 5001 vs. NAD 515BEE Vs. Cambridge 340? Fishers9:Good thread. First, I can assure you that any of the 3 above mentioned brand new CD players will sound far better than your 10 year old Sony or 10 year old anything in that price range. There has been much improvement in the electronics o... | |
| B&W 603 s3 or PSB T55 Well I guess I would be a bit prejudiced since I have them but I'd go with the B&W DM603 S3's and bi-wire them using decent cable such as Tara Labs, Audioquest, etc. They're quite warm for an open room area but you may need a subwoofer at some... | |
| Power Conditioners I went with very recently with a PSAudio Duet Power Center for $299.00. I guess you can call it a passive unit. It filters the A/C power and a surge protector far better than the mass market protectors out there. It also provides four 120VAC outle... | |
| Rotel 1072 vs. Arcam CD73 The Rotel RCD-1072 employs an 18 bit DAC but don't let that fool you just because it's not a 24 bit. I love mine and as I've said in a number of other threads, I believe it excels at playing smooth jazz (i.e. Boney James, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlt... | |
| Afraid of too much bass... I agree with Onhwy61. Your room is not small and the 816V's, being 2-1/2 way floorstanders with a low point of 39hz, could turn out to be just the perfect set without a powered subwoofer for music. For HT, you may need to add a sub. I have B&W... | |
| Need advice choosing a complimentary CD Player Could you tell us how you like it, how well does it do with rock and roll, smooth jazz, classic rock, and overall punch, slam, and bass ext? Also, what was the list price? Is this more of a polite CD player for say classical music or can it rock w... | |

| 602s3 B&W Good question. I almost bought a pair back in 2005 but went with the DM601 S3's then upgraded to the DM603 S3's in 2007. However I always regretted not buying these as I was extremely impressed with the 602's. Could be that they are the last of th... | |
| Subwoofer- 10" or 12" for music only system? Is this specifically for music, home theater, or both? The size or diameter of the subwoofer is only one part of the criteria to select the correct model. Size of your room, brand of your present audio system, amount of watts best for your room, h... | |
| Need advice choosing a complimentary CD Player In all respect, I must disagree with Foster_9. My Rotel RCD-1072 is a fabulous player and it does in fact reproduce smoothness and refinement particularly with smooth jazz, straight ahead jazz, etc. Check out the reviews on this player at audiorev... | |
| Recievers or Amps and surround sound Arp:Yes, definetely get yourself a copy of Robert Harley's book and leave it on your coffee table or out in the open in your listening room. That's what I do. It's jam packed with information. He did an outstanding job with it.His other book is ca... | |
| Recievers or Amps and surround sound Well, let me take a stab at this one but not sure it's 100% accurate. I've been studying my book for an answer on this. Best way I can describe it is that a power amplifier, whether it be 2 channel integrated or multi-channel surround sound amp or... |
