Ayon vs. Mastersound vs. Vaic Tube SET I traded a Bryston 14 B2 and BP-20 for Mastersound PL-5 and two Mastersound 300B mono blocks plus a smidge of cash. The Mastersound outperformed the Bryston in all categories save maximum volume. I've run this combo for over 3 years now without ... | |
Your Help Choosing Speakers needed The Dynaco A-25 is a superior loudspeaker and will achieve reasonable Sound levels with your 15 watts per side. This loudspeaker is a classic with nearly a million pairs sold since the 70s. I do not recall Marantz ever manufacturing an outstandin... | |
Ultimate Classical Speaker. Magico Q5, Rockport... To project an aural image of a piano requires large scale transducers in a solid and weighty cabinet.

What can I do to treat my room acoustically? First thing. I don't like the 'sound' of your speakers sitting in a niche.(pun intended) It already sounds congested. (no pun intended) With the house totally quiet, stand against the back wall inside the niche. Walk quietly and very slowly away f... | |
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? While I may never sell my 300B mono blocks; they will not drive many loudspeakers effectively. Eight watts is eight watts, period and loudspeakers mated with them need to be north of 95 db/watt/meter to avoid obvious clipping. That said; the 300Bs... | |
Nola Boxer Boxers require more power than you might think even though their impedancepresents a fairly easy load. Any decent amp over 50 watts will do the job but 100 watts is even better. (tube friendly) | |
Review: High Fidelity Cables CT-1 Interconnect Interconnect 'Unlimited' was my first impression. I can detect absolutely no compression. Tonality and coherence are unaltered. this cable does not play favorites. Bass is so controlled and dynamic, relaxed may be a better word. I found myself listening at muc... | |

Review: Silver Circle Audio PP1 v 3.0 high current AC filter Silver Circle Audio makes a 5.0 KVA conditioner that is more capable of supplying larger amplifiers with their huge transient demands without restricting dynamics at all. In fact both macro and micro dynamics were improved with my 1000 watt mono b... | |
When is digital going to get the soul of music? While I prefer vinyl/analog sources; I have heard players that do put the soul in digital recordings. I have one and it is musical as all get out. I'm even allowed to forget it is digital. Bought second hand it was still very expensive but I can ... | |
Amps direct to wall vs. power conditioner? May I present a simple analogy.When you drive by small cities and towns you usually see a water tower. The reason for these is to address peak water usage demands; usually in the morning before work and after work and evenings when the bulk of the... | |
Who has dumped the power conditioner? Some folks should get a life and stop throwing wet blankets on other people who are enjoying their lives. Seems there is always someone like him at all open forums. I never realized there where so many lonely people out there. | |

Who has dumped the power conditioner? Tbg should investigate and audition the Silver Circle Audio 5.0 power conditioner. If he did he would soon experience a lowered noise floor, increased dynamics, improved clarity due to better imaging and resolution and in general a bigger and mor... |
