| Need speaker suggestions You can pick up a used pair of VonSchweikert VR-2's for about $1600... easy to drive & well built. | |
| Class A amp vs Class D amp Mixing the Classe amps for the fronts and the cheaper Rotel for the center and surrounds is not a problem, and would be the preferred way to go if you are truly sold on investing in a surround system. However, from personal experience, I'd skip su... | |
| More than one CD player I only have one cdp(Audio Aero Capitole 24/192), but it would be intriguing to try to find a sleeper out there... either a classic (older Arcam 192 or FMJ 23T), or the latest flavor of the month from China.However, in the grand scheme of things, I... | |
| CD Player: "Love at First Listen" recommendation Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 | |
| Parts Connexion They modded my very inexpensive Jolida JD 402 tuner, and it sounds great! | |
| What's up with the 'Piano' gloss???? Hhdinc - I did a little bit of woodworking in my younger days, and I agree with you, that a rich wood finish is the way to go. My favorite speaker finish that I've seen was on a pair of Dynaudio 1.3SE monitors in Birdseye Maple. I sold them to upg... | |
| Tube CD-player question Not sure of your budget, but I love my Audio Aero Capitol 24/192 (approx. $3K used). | |
| Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ?? Mitch - I own the Capitol 24/192 with a "modified" SE mod (cryoed tubes & upgraded caps). The folks @ Globe are quite helpful and responsive... don't hesitate to get their input, as they are the best to contact if you are needing advice or rep... | |
| Help needed on a solid state amp?? I've not owned the Krell, however, I can vouch for the excellent value of the 8200 MKII on the used market. | |
| Musical Fidelity a308 int. or Plinius 8200 I can't speak to the a308, but I did own the Plinius 8200 MKII, and found it to be a very synergistic match with Dynaudio 1.3SE's. A nice full smooth sound, dependable, solid build and very reasonable on the used market (I had paid $1,200 and sold... | |

| Avalon Ascendants - How is the treble? If your needing more fullness and detailed bottom end, I recommend you consider keeping your M30's and add a REL sub. This would save you some money, and if your still not satisfied, REL and Harbeth's hold their value very well on the used market. | |
| subs and monitors Another vote for REL. | |
| RBH sound system + Denon Denon recvrs are overated IMHO. I'd be looking at Arcam & Outlaw. | |
| Can i clean the female insides of my powercables ? I wonder if Dave Letterman is an audiophile? He'd probably be amused by this one. Classic comedic stuff here, but don't quit your day job! |
