| Specific Specs to Recommend a Bookshelf Speaker Long response. Don't bother spending up to $2k, as you may not be happy with the results of putting the speaker box inside the bigger furniture box. That is the physics of what you are attempting to do. The issue is that speakers need some room to... | |
| Now what? Actually, comments about the Rega Apollo's recognizing CDs come up from time to time. Most are concerning CDRs, which Rega explains in the user booklet that if the CDR was recorded at greater than 8X, you are SOL. I have had the original Apollo fo... | |

| Using Musical Fidelity A3 integrated as preamp? Never understood the SS preamp/ tube amp pairing dislike. Have been using a Musical Fidelity CD Pre 24 with a Prima Luna PL5 tube amp for 7 years now and have had zero desire to change the set-up. Very sweet sounding. Opera Platea floor standers c... | |
| Using Musical Fidelity A3 integrated as preamp? So you have the version of the MF A3 that has the preamp out, as not all versions of the A3 did. Yes, you can use the MF as a preamp only, PREAMP OUT (MF) would connect to the PREAMP IN/ Unbalanced Inputs (Mac). Volume control on the MF would cont... | |
| oppo bdp105 or cambridge 752 Why not call Audio Advisor who is a dealer for both brands and ask and purchase from them?Rich | |
| OUTLAW RR2150 vs NAD C 326BEE sonic differences? The volume control on the Outlaw is not as annoying as all that. Turn the receiver on and manually set the volume. Just how often are you going to futz with the volume? You can always hit 'mute' when the phone rings.Admittedly, it was a wtf moment... | |
| DL103 Nude-ing Instruction? Picked up a Denon DP31L in pretty good shape a few years back. Purchased a Grado Green cartridge and a Pro-ject phono preamp and was not thrilled by it and put it aside for awhile. Recently came across some of my old vinyl from the late 60's/70's ... | |
| Floorstanders for Unison Unico P? No direct experience. The original Secondas were Plateas with a second woofer if I remember correctly. The prices for Opera speakers may seem a little high, but they are made like fine furniture ... hardwoods, as opposed to mdf, custom designed SE... | |
| OUTLAW RR2150 vs NAD C 326BEE sonic differences? I owned the NAD C320BEE for a number of years, which is the older brother of the C326BEE. If you search the review archives here, you will find my review of the 320BEE from 10 years ago.I own the Outlaw RR2150 currently and have owned it for the p... | |
| Floorstanders for Unison Unico P? If you can find them used ... Opera Plateas. Made by the same company. Quite the sweet sounding speaker with tubes. They come up from time to time for $800 or so a pair.Rich | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue series, is it worth the money? I have two Prima Luna amps in service since 2005. The PL 5 power amp in one system and the PL 2 integrated amp in another system. For the last few years, I have been using either EL 34 or 6CA7 power tubes, new production from Electro Harmonix or M... | |
| Which is the best King Crimson remaster? Hi Joe:I like the 40th anniversary release best. I find this version truer sounding to the original vinyl that I owned in the late 60's. I felt that the 30th anniversary release did not sound right, the mix sounded shrill.Rich | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? I use the PL 5 with Opera Platea floorstanders (86 db sensitivity) in a 26' x 15' X 9' room. I use either EL 34 or 6CA7 tubes, which give you a few less wpc than if you use KT88s. I listen to CDs almost exclusively. The front end is a Musical Fide... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers??? I started placing my speakers inside bookcases to make it difficult for my cats to get at the speakers. The bookcases are sealed back, as well, so I have a box inside a box situation. The best performing speakers in this situation were the Rega Ar... |
