Review ... Neil Diamond's "12 Songs"
Hooper:I very much agree (obviously) with your thoughts. Since he started out, Neil has looked to stretch himself as an artist. The "African Suite" that comprises the second side of "Tap Root Manuscript," as well as "Songs From the Brill Building,... 
Review ... Neil Diamond's "12 Songs"
Qdrone and Zshuster: The "12 Songs" CD does have the SONY DRM information listed on the back CD cover and this is true for both the regular and digipak versions of this CD. I have played it at least a dozen times on my Musical Fidelity CD PRE24 CD... 
seperates over integrated. Why?
Gilbodavid:It's like I said at the very beginning of your thread ... In the end, it really is about what is important to you and what you are willing to spend and tolerate to play your tunes.Ultimately, I buy what sounds the best to me. I know wha... 
Unable to hear movie on the nad t533
Alexis:The NAD C320BEE is a 2 channel integrated amplifier. You need to set up your DVD player (via on screen menus) to play in 2 channel stereo and not 5/6/7 channel surround. On my SONY DVD player there is a menu selection to define the number o... 
On the fense: PrimaLuna ProLogue II or Jolida 302
Gretsch:Have you listened to either or both amps? Also, what type of amp are you transitioning from? I purchased a Prima Luna Prologue 2 sight unseen, but it was my first tube amp in 30 years and it was also being used in a secondary system ... so... 
Notice how many SACD collections for sale?
I'm with Kal on this one. Fortunately, there were not all that many SACD only titles released after the first few years. I would imagine that most collections, my own included, only have a few of these titles. If I count the SACD only releases and... 
Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1?
Kck:The SB3 does go lower in the bass than the SB2; is in a slightly bigger cabinet; and the position of the woofer is on the bottom for the SB2 and on the top for the SB3. Otherwise, they have the same tweeter and my guess the same woofer (at lea... 
Vintage HH Scott Speakers Model S-101
Aaron:This is the site for vintage Scott stereo components . For the S10 there is just some basic descriptive information (no photo, which you may be able to provide to the site). You may wish to try the vintage forum at Audio Asylum .Regards, Rich 
Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1?
If my choices were only between the EPOS ELS3 and the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1, I would choose the Diamond 9.1 with no hesitation. I owned the EPOS ELS3 and found them to sound somewhat boxy and congested in the upper bass. I also felt that the EPOS... 
Best Sounding Tube Integrated Amp
You need not spend $3-4K. For $1345, you can pick up a Prima Luna Prologue Two. Upscale Audio was in on the design of the Prima Lunas and is the primary dealer for these units. The bass should be pleasing to you, though my first inclination is t... 
Primaluna - seeking opinion from any owners
Samuel:I posted my experiences with the Prima Luna here in Audiogon .Based on my experiences with the Prima Luna Prologue Two, I traded in my Musical Fidelity A300 power amp in my main system for a Prima Luna Prologue Five.To answer your question... 
SACD vs xrcd
Kels:I think that there is a huge aggravation factor when you compare the JVC XRCD24 versions of the RCA Living Series with the new SACD versions of the same series. It may or may not be how they sound ... but it is how they are priced ... $30 vs ...

GretschI am using a Prima Luna Prologue Two integrated tube amp ($1345 list) in a 15 X 10 X 8.5 room with Omega Super 3 high efficiency monitors (95 db sensitivity). I am also using a Prima Luna Prologue Five power amp ($1295) in a 25 X 15 X 8.5 r... 
seperates over integrated. Why?
Gilbodavid:Funny that you mention the Marantz 2245 ... I am using a Marantz 2240 in a bedroom system. I had the 2240 overhauled about 3 years ago and was not satisfied with it at first. I tried a number of small monitors with mixed results and fin... 
Tube amp to pair with Triangles?
In your price range, the Prima Luna Prologue Two would do nicely ($1345 new). I have used this amp with high efficiency/single driver speakers (Omega Super 3) to conventional small monitors (NHT SB2) to large bookshelf/floorstanders (Acoustic Rese...
