| Question on Emm labs Dac6 vs Dac6e Guidocorona - I too have heard great things about the MPS-5 and read Mike Lavigne's review. But I question your comment about the price of the MPS unit being a fraction of the EMM labs rigs. I think I recall seeing "used" EMM labs rigs selling for... | |
| GIK Acoustic Treatments My experience with GIK was very pleasant. I have 8 of the 244 panels and would likely order a few more products from them if my wife hadn't freaked out so much when the 244 panels arrived. Excellent bang for the buck! | |
| Genuine Telefunken? I can vouch for excellence of Tele ECC803S, as they took my inexpensive Jolida tuner to a whole new level (got mine from Audiogon seller "Sam1104"). They were not cheap, but I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for".Stick with reputable dea... | |
| Best Subwoofer for B&W 805s Speakers REL Storm III @ $900 to $1,000 on the used market. Very musical with a seamless presentation... offering a high degree of flexibility as far as connection options and adjustability. I had previously owned four other subs, including two from Velody... | |
| Line Stage battle: ARC LS26 vs Aesthetix Calypso Kind of tough to compare the two unless you've owned & experimented with both. However, as an owner of the Calypso, I can say from experience that the Calypso can be transformed from very average to exceptional with the addition of $500 to $1,... | |
| Company or Solitude? Solitude, without question. My wife refers to me as an Old Poop, as I get annoyed when my time alone in my Man Cave gets interupted by the phone ringing or my wife wanting to chit-chat. I enjoy my job, work hard and deal with customers & co-wo... | |
| Used Speaker Recommendations Under $5k... I once owned the Plinius 8200 MKII, which mated nicely with Dynaudio 1.3SE's. Being a long time fan of Dynaudio, and given your mention of finding the Dynaudio house sound appealing, I would agree with Missioncoonery on choosing the S5.4 (or the S... | |
| Up grading power amp... Mono blocks or stereo amp? John - What $10K stereo amp are you using now? | |
| Gamut D200 vs Plinius SA102 class a vs. ab Bud - I can't speak for the Gamut, but can tell you the SA-102 sounds better when operating in Class A vs. AB. If you have concerns with using the Plinius in Class A, go with a different amp that runs cooler. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/196 I tried changing the fuses to no avail. Today I shipped my unit out to Audio Aero's NA Service Center in California. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/196 Ckoffend... My Capitole 24/192 just lost power yesterday for no apparent reason. I'm gong to try changing the fuses first before I send it in for repairs. Pleast let me know what you find out. | |
| Time for a change Your equipment is very good. You just need to make sure your speaker load is not too demanding. The Hales are reputable speakers as well, but would benefit from a more powerful amplifier.I'd consider looking at the various Meadowlark speakers list... | |
| Time for a change All well respected speakers. The Vandies always provide very good bang for the buck, but I question whether your amp is hefty enough for either the Vandies or the F-30's. If you plan on sticking with your amp, the Quinta's would appear on paper to... | |
| My Setup - Room Treatment Suggestions? Go to GIK Acoustics website. Very informative site with sample layouts. The owner is easily accessible by phone... very helpful, low pressure company. The $700 investment I made with GIK panels was the best audio money I have spent. I was about to... |
