| CD sound quality The NAD C720, which is based on the C320, will come alive with the right CD player. I had the most success with the Music Hall CD25 cd player. The combination was magical. See my remarks for my 2 channel HT system. With totally respectable CD play... | |
| Limited size for bookshelf speakers...help?? Go with the NHT Absolute Zero Monitors . They are an acoustic suspension/sealed box design, so they will do well on a shelf in an enclosed cabinet set-up. For a small monitor they do a very credible job with the upper bass. I have used a version ... | |
| Opinions on Epos 303? Nick:I have owned a number of EPOS speakers over the last 10 years (EPOS 11 and the EL3). I have heard every EPOS speaker but the 303.The 303 is based on the ELS3. I do not know what difference the extra driver makes to its sound. I was not taken ... | |
| Opinions on Epos 303? Nick:The EPOS 303 were just reviewed positively in this month's The Absolute Sound. Track down an issue.Regards, Rich | |
| Forums and Manufacturers: Are they here to help? The manufacturers are just protecting their interests ... good, bad, or otherwise. As long as the maunfacturer discloses his/her identity in the thread, there is no harm or foul done. The reader can determine the rest for himself. It's not that di... | |
| Adcom tuner/preamps...... Used an Adcom GTP 500 II tuner/preamp for 13 years and it worked fine. Then one day I was moving equipment around and tried a vintage Marantz receiver as a preamp instead and the sound was significantly different ... in favor of the Marantz. Why n... | |
| Wndows media player to Apple Itunes Buying a Mac shouldn't be just an iTunes decision. With the new Intel chip based Mac, there is no backwards compatibility with any Mac programs that are not based on its X operating system. I am still migrating files over from my original eMac to ... | |
| Recommendations for this combo: Epos,Denon,SVS Bob:I owned the EPOS ESL3 and just did not like them. Maybe I was spoiled because I had owned the EPOS 11 for years and loved them. The ESL3 just did not do it for me. I found them boxy and thin sounding. I have not heard the CA 540 ... I own the ... | |
| Recommendations for this combo: Epos,Denon,SVS The only receivers that I would pair the EPOS with are the NAD C720BEE, Outlaw RR2150, or the Music Hall Maven. Most other receivers will not provide the type of quality amplification that the EPOS require. Without quality amplification, the EPOS ... | |
| CD format war and resultant music players SV:Perhaps one reason that you are not reading conclusive reports from reliable sorces is that many of the printed media reviewers are older and started out in this hobby 20 or more years ago and so the idea of using a PC with hifi equipment is no... | |
| Omega Super 3 loudspeaker & Decware amplification Onlywax;Looked at the Decware website. Have you auditioned the Decware speakers? They offer a model in the Omega Super 3's price range.Regards, Rich | |
| Omega Super 3 loudspeaker & Decware amplification Onlywax:Don't know about the "darker" sounding thing. I own the Omega Super 3 and use them with a Prima Luna Prologue Two tube integrated amp. I had used the Omega with a NAD C320BEE integrated amp; a Musical Fidelity A300 power amp; and a vintage... | |
| Wharfedale Evo 10 compared to Epos 12.2? We can make this a no brainer. Audio Advisor has the Evo 10 for $400 in maple and $500 in rosewood. The EPOS 12.2 is a very good speaker and I would say comparable to the Evo 10 in most areas, but it's not better than the Evo 10. Jaybo is correc... | |
| CD format war and resultant music players SV:"Perhaps it would only take 2 versus 5 years for the audio chip to fall into place."But who would care? Yes, SACD was an improvement over Redbook CD, but not that major and not to the point that I was willing to own a duplicate music library. A... | |
| CD format war and resultant music players SV:If you take my comments to the next logical step, purchasing top flight equipment makes total sense. If you know upfront that you will not be replacing your music collection anytime soon, if ever ... all these format wars become moot. You shoul... |
