| Help with NAD C320BEE brightness. Break-in??? When I compare my NAD C 320BEE integrated to my Musical Fidelity A3 integrated (or my retired Adcom GTP500 II/GFA 545 preamp/amp combination), the NAD is slightly below the others in terms of smoothness and warmth ... but the NAD is still fine sou... | |
| Help with NAD C320BEE brightness. Break-in??? In all honesty, replacing the jumpers with $100 interconnects on a $400 integrated amp, just doesn't sound right. I have been using the NAD C 320BEE for just about a year and have never found the sound "bright" sounding, not even out of the box. T... | |

| Audiophile Special Event Songs Weddings, etc. Our wedding song was Chris DeBurgh's "Lady in Red." Why? It was the song playing on the day that I met my wife. | |
| Rosanne Cash To my listening, Rosanne has only made good music for the last 20 years. There has been a distinct evolution to her music. Her earlier music had more of a "new" country feel to it. This would best be characterized by her albums "Right or Wrong;" "... | |
| inferior p-mount cartridge? Always had good luck (going back 15 years or so)with p mount catridges from a variety of manufacturers (Ortofon, Shure, Audio Technica). The p mount cartridges always made cartridge replacement easy. When the p mounts were first introduced (about ... | |
| converting to gitital I went with just CD's, cold turkey no less, about seven years ago. I gave everything away. On occasion, I will get tempted to puchase a turntable, but the truth is that I really was not listening to records that much anymore and I just did not wan... | |
| B&W 602s or Paradigm Monitor 5s With a little research you can come across the TAS review of the Paradigm Monitor 5. Even though they recommend the speaker, two of the comments they make deal with the fussiness of speaker placement and the nature of the bass port. | |
| Good speaker compatability with NAD C 370 Try the JBL S38. They retail for $600, currently available at J&R Music for $250 or so http://www.jandr.com/JRProductPage.process?RestartFlow=t&Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=136&Product_Id=2797690. Also, here is a review from Stereophil... | |
| B&W 602s or Paradigm Monitor 5s With all due respect ... you believe that you are asking an audiophile question about speaker choice, when in reality you should be asking how to get audiophile sound by putting ported speakers on shelves (you may also wish to make it clearer if t... | |
| Inexpensive HT Receiver - NAD vs Marantz I just stay away from refurbished products, but this probably has more to with my dad's experience with rebuilt audio & video parts in the 1970's when he could not obtain original parts in a timely fashion (he owned a TV & Radio Repair Sho... | |

| Inexpensive HT Receiver - NAD vs Marantz Ben:Given that your NHT SW10 sub is a powered one at 150 watts, receiver power should not be much of an issue. Also, the Marantz 7300 was designed for "high current" power, so it should be able to drive the NHT ST4's. Both the NAD and Marantz gene... | |
| home theatre questions The SONY STR DE695 has been a favorite of Sensible Sound magazine. In your price range ... personally, I would go for a Yamaha 5550 ($220) or Yamaha 5640 ($250) , new, at J&R Music http://www.jandr.com. If you are sold on the SONY, you can get... | |
| B&W 602s or Paradigm Monitor 5s This does not answer your question directly ... the placing of the speakers on a shelf inside a built in (enclosed-?) bookshelf unit is as much of a determinant on your speaker selection as the actual specific speaker models themselves. Make sure ... |
