| Audio Aero Capitol or Cary 303.300? I typically don't audition my gear before making a purchase, as most of the gear I buy is used gear found in the Audiogon classifieds. Used CDP's I'd be considering in that price range include the following:- Resolution Audio Opus 21- Audio Resear... | |
| Audio Aero Capitol or Cary 303.300? I can't speak for the Cary CDP's, but I can tell you as a past owner of the Jolida 100A that it is not remotely close to being in the same league as the Audio Aero Capitol 24/192 (my current CDP). I'm not a big believer in "giant killer" titles th... | |
| BAT Vk-51 SE vs Aesthetix Calypso Speaking with unabashed bias for the Calypso which I currently own... I have found tube rolling makes a huge difference in the performance of this preamp. My only experience with BAT preamps was with an entry level VK 30 and I was not impressed, s... | |
| Compare tube Amplificated The Leben is known for having very good synergy with Devore speakers. Go with the sure thing. | |
| Worth looking for a Rotel 1065 receiver? Having owned both Rotel and Arcam amps / integrateds in the past, I would choose Arcam over Rotel. However, you may want to consider 1970's vintage Marantz or McIntosh receivers first. Fellow audiogoner, Zaw Win, owns an electronics service center... | |
| Aesthetix/Ayre recomended signal-/speakercables. Kimber is a good value cable, as is Purist.

| Will you check this out Great story... thanks for sharing! | |
| What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s I used a combination of lead shot and playground sand in my Target stands, and secured my Dyn. 1.3SE's with the Elmer's version of blue-tak. It worked great.... a very heavy and secure way to set up monitors. I've since moved on to floorstanders, ... | |
| Music server interface suggestions I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to computer audio... but I think your headed in the right direction with your "3)". Suggest you contact Steve Nugent @ Empirical Audio or research the Computer Audiophile website. | |
| Speakers & the room Ditto Pubul57's suggestion on getting a consultation from Rives. | |
| Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200 Johnno35 - I apologize for getting this thread off track. To summarize, I believe there is merit in many of these threads. I do believe the Plinius 9200 will "work", however, if money is not an issue, and you can afford separates, there are better... | |
| Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200 Dkzzzz - You seem to bash everything. Do you like anything other than ATC active speakers... or is everything else garbage in your opinion? Also, you never responded to my question from a few days ago... what does your system consist of (amp, pre,... | |
| Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200 Dkzzzz - Please tell us what equipment, speakers and cables your system consists of. | |
| Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200 Yes... you will be fine. I've owned the C2's and now the C4's in a room measuring 21' x 15' and partially opened on one end... I've had no problems giving them kick with the Plinius SA-102 amp (125 wpc). | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 or Confidence 1 for this room???? Chel13 - probably a good idea to stick with what you have. Treating your room would go a long way to minimizing slap echo, deflection & booming bass. I spent approx. $700 with GIK Acoustics for 8 panels (4" x 2 ft x 4 ft), and it was the best ... |
