| What was your first system, & did you like it? I had AR turntable and EPI 100s, I do not remember the rest, but they got loud :^)They were mounted on my bedroom wall and when I got done moving them (several times) the wall had dozens of holes in it. It looked like someone had shot it with a ma... | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier I agree Christopher,Moving 'down' to the Plinius I do miss some of the things I may not have noticed if I had not owned the separates. In rereading my review I see I did not mention the superb qualities I get from my stereo with the 8200 MKII whic... | |
| 100w class A or 200 w class AB ???? I read Plinius likes class A because the load on the power supply does not fluctuate | |
| 100w class A or 200 w class AB ???? An unfair (pricewise) comparison is my Plinius SA100 MKIII power amp has 100 watts class A and my Plinius 8200 MKII integrated has 175 watts AB and the SA 100 MKII clearly has more OOMPHHH and control without breaking up. The 8200 might go a littl... | |

| Speaker Cable Gurus - Need Recommendation Guru?I will give you an answer anyway,Alpha Core MI2 Veracity (NOT Python) is flat, though copper colored, and better than the Nordost IMO, with a very natural tone, really nice for the money | |
| WOW ? Is a Woman is a very good recording with a natural, detailed and open presentation and the music is sometimes classified as country but to me it is just darn good, laid back, flowing, acoustic and always interestingAll Music Guide says they have b... | |
| Need Help on Tube Rolling for VAC Avatar I would call Andy at Vintage Tube Services, he is very nice and helpful. Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio is often recommended by others but I had some difficulty talking to him (he kept interrupting me in mid sentence in a very rude manner) and I have... | |
| pros and cons to running bare wire thanks guysI have read the Reynaud wire is silver so there is no oxidation. I have no idea if this is true but I have decided to buy the wire this way. It seems to me there would be a cleaner that would 'clean up' the oxidation instead of having t... | |
