| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Great CD players, of which there are few, do not absolutely butcher string instruments, and in particular, violin. Go listen to a live violin concerto, or for that matter, a violin concerto played on a $500 turntable - 99.99% of CD players sound f... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables The above posters are correct in recommending Rega - they are indeed the Honda S2000 of turntables, and the stock tonearm (RB300) on the mid-market models is legendary. They also do particularly well with the boisterous music you prefer. If you wa... | |
| High powered point to point tube amp? While superb in build quality and sound, almost all Atma-sphere amps are output-transformerless and are thus intended to be paired with benign impedance loads - I do not know what the above poster was thinking.The easy answer to your question is a... | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate I am not going to directly address your question, thinking it better to comment about other issues raised by your thread.If possible (and if I were you, I would try very hard to expand the meaning of "possible"), you should get your speakers farth... | |

When I bought my darTZeel amp, Jonathan suggest... | |
| VAC Ren Mk III / Sig mkII Preamplifier with SS Amp Dear Knghifi:I can answer your question. VAC currently makes two preamps.VAC's current best preamp, the "Signature Mark II", was formerly known as the Renaissance Signature Mk. II and is unusual for tube preamps in that it uses an output transform... | |
| Speaker recommendation. have $2,500 If you can find a clean pair, the Dynaudio 3.3's are actually quite good speakers, and they go for roughly $2,500-$3,000 used. They are also less forward than the C1/C2/C4, which is what many people find off putting about the sound of those models... | |
