JBL ES20 vs. Polk Audio TSi100
Without knowing what you are using for an amp or receiver, it is hard to give you a definite recommendation. Of the two that you listed, I would go with the Polks. I find that Polks do a good job across the board within their price range and if yo... 
Classe move to China
Hi Dan:It is why I prefaced the statement with ... from a 'purely economic perspective.' More than China, I have problems with anything made in Vietnam. I remember all too well the yearly birthday drawing lotteries to see who would go over to figh... 
Classe move to China
With all due respect ... the 'made in US, Canada, Europe vs made in Asia' arguments are inherently racist, as opposed to protectionist. From a purely economic perspective, buying a Rega Brio rather than a Prima Luna Prologue One is the same to me ... 
looking for advice on bookshelf speakers
I came down with meningitis following a spine fusion surgery six years ago and one of the after effects is a sensitivity to higher pitches and higher frequencies. Speakers that have worked for me: Rega Aras (now RS1s), Ascend Acoustics Sierras 1, ... 
alternative to maggies?
I use this $75 scratching post . Because the post is tall enough to allow the cat a full stretch (which is what your Maggies do) and the post doesn't tip over, my cats seem to prefer using it. In fact, one of my cat will jump to the top of the po... 
Outlaw RR2150 Receiver Power Cord?
I have been using an aftermarket power cord since I purchased the RR2150 six years ago. I never noticed the line in the manual and was surprised when I saw it (bottom - page 16). Can't honestly say that it has had a negative effect on the sound.Rich 
Primaluna Prologue Two
Congratulations on purchasing a PL2. I have been using both the PL2 and PL5 in my systems since 2005 and I have not felt the need to change amps at all. Changing out the preamp tubes (12AX7 & 12AU7) will make the most noticeable difference at ... 
Armoire between speakers
... I am always struck on how people will comprise their sound with other furnishings in the listening room ... It is often unavoidable, unless you are only sharing your living space with plants. Rich 
Armoire between speakers
Have you considered putting a wooden base with wheel casters underneath your speaker stands. You can wheel your speakers into place when you wish to listen and then wheel the speakers back when you are finished.Granted it is a bit of a diy proje... 
Just Turned 50...
54, going on 55. Burst both eardrums twenty years ago (go flying with a cold), but can still hear well enough to tell the difference between CD players. Stay away from using headphones ... not worth the risk. Day started above ground ... so all is... 
musical fidelity nu-vista 3d cd player
I own a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 preamp/ cd player combo. The DAC and cd player are from the nu-vista product line, there are just no tubes. It is an outstanding sounding CD player. I use it with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 tube amp and Opera Platea... 
Why CD players will never be dead
I may be the odd one out here. I like buying CDs. I like playing CDs on CD players. I like one box CD players. I like my CD players (Rega Apollo, Musical Fidelity CD Pre 24). It's pretty simple for me. I have absolutely no interest in setting up a... 
NAD C540 player is dying. Replacement?
Congratulations and enjoy your Apollo. If I were to update my Apollo, it would be to the Rega Saturn and then I would look to update my Prima Luna PL2 to something else in the Prima Luna line. So, it would take a serious coin outlay before I would... 
What cheap dacs are there with volume controls?
HI DG:Just curious. I originally purchased the Beresford to give me headphone capability and would up with a decent DAC as well. What additional did the Benchmark do ... or do better ... etc.Rich 
NAD C540 player is dying. Replacement?
Hey TP:Sorry, the Rega Apollo is not for sale, nor is the Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 in the living room system. I have been using a SONY blu-ray player with my Outlaw RR2150 in my bedroom system and I was thinking about replacing the SONY with the...
