| Todays Raido Stations suck try: www.widr.org you should be able to listen online. They play a wide mix of music which can be very bad to very very good. As I write this they are playing something french with piano and harmonica and bass and a lazy trombone just stepped in, ... | |
| What integrated to go with Paradigm studio/60's??? Try a Plinius 8150 or 8200 if you are lucky you may find one for about $1200. I do not think you would look back as these are very nice with excellent tone, detail and control. | |
| The passing of another legend... Wasn't David Hafler the designer of Dynaco as well? I think so and a giant in our industry. | |
| Comments on Quad ESL 988? I remember Duke at Audiokinisis prefered the 63 to either of the new ones. You may try to contact him. | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier Cpdunn99I just bought a Plinius 8200MKII and fired it up about 2 hours ago. It is very nice indeed and I will save my comments til it is broken in etc. however I thought you might like to know that Vince at Plinius recommended I try this PC - in a... | |

| Your approach to shipping electronics? I have decided to use Fed Ex instead of UPSA friend of mine works for Fed Ex and says that their drivers buy their trucks and routes and pay for the insurance on the packages as well. I have decided to use them as I feel they will take better care... | |
| Think of buying a Magnepan Surround Setup I do not know how much power those amps have but Maggies need at least 100 watts and really sound the best with around 300 or more watts with lots of current. | |
| Tubes v. SS: can you mix and match? I agree that you can do whatever you want. While I have used a tube pre with solid state power and all tube system as well, it occured to me (after many months) that mixing the two can be very nice but, I started wishing I had the best qualities o... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? My friend and I both tried my Kimber 8TC speaker wire on our systems and we both like it a lot but think it is lacking bass and would be more suited to a warm system. I imagine the 4TC would be similar and would start there myself.BTW the Hero has... | |
| Can you warm up your tube amp ... You should call the company for sure as sometimes it can be harmfull to run without a load. | |
| Jazz suggestions please Bravo Brubeck by Dave Brubeck is quite good | |
| Thanks, Audiogon, for the friendships you made msn monthly $19.95, Audiogon ad rates $2, Audiogon forums priceless :) | |
| Yoiks, I'm amplifier confused. A friend has the BAT VK200 and is a very nice match with his N803s. In my opinion it has just enough power for these speakers. | |
| upgrading Rogue 88 to Magnum or buy 120 monoblocks I do not know how much power your speakers need but I would upgrade to the Magnum version, I did this with an 88 and the difference is big. The soundstaging is improved with everything more defined and more space between instruments. There is more... |
