| Anyone at the Stereophile show The speaker that I enjoyed listening to the most was the Focus Audio FS78 SE (floor standing anniversary model). I enjoyed them so much that I went back to the room 4 separate times and spent a total of about an hour and a half there on Friday. If... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem Ben & Valinar:Just a little levity about hearing loss gentlemen. The "over 45" remark was to set-up the anecedote about my buddy's and my experiences at the show. My conversation with my buddy was getting to ... I no longer listen for the same... | |
| "Finicky" DVD Players Steve:The SONY DVP S7700 is from circa 2000 (my SONY DVP S560D is from the same production year). Other than redbook CD's (no CDR-R or CDR-RW's) and production DVD's, the SONY's will not play anything else. You can go on Google and search on "SONY... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem Matt:I have a similar main system set-up with the MF CD PRE 24 (preamp & cd player) and A300 CR power amplifier. My speakers are Acoustic Research 302 which easily go down to 35 hz ... so the bass is on par with some of the best that I have he... | |
| Speakers slipping on speaker stands Have you tried Blu-Tac or White-Tac? It is a silly putty type product that you would roll into small balls and place between the speaker and the platform.Regards, Rich | |
| Cambrigde Azur 640c??? The NAD C320BEE and Music Hall CD25 combination is magical. Each component brings out the best in each other. If you were starting out with the NAD C320 BEE (or were thinking about buying one), the Music Hall is the way to go (as opposed to the CA... | |
| Integrated & Tuner or Amp & Tuner-preamp? To answer your question directly ... I would go with an integrated and a separate tuner, as there are just more choices in excellent integrateds, than excellent preamp/tuner combinations. With that said, I would reconsider the NAD 372, which just ... | |
| What is the best high efficient monitors under 1K? I have the Omega Super 3's (narrow cabinet - $540 list) paired with a Prima Luna Prologue Two (SONY SCD 555 ES SACD player; IXOS Silver Gamma Interconnects; and Signal Cable Speaker Wire). The sound has a float in the air quality, musicians in the... | |
| Magnnum Dynalab tuners sound quality From your preious posts, my takeaway is that you are using the Luxman as a tuner. After 20 years, it could probably use with a good cleaning and a tuner re-calibration. I am not sure who is a good tech in your part of the state. In Peekskill, ther... | |
| Breaking into the industry Asonic:The best bet for a college graduate who will have a generalist/liberal arts degree is to pursue a graduate/trainee program. I say this because unless you have a very specific skillset, graduate programs are the best way to start out in most... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Hi Gong:See your point ... but words like quality, and I am taking that to mean sound quality, are so subjective. I still think that a meaningful (and pretty cool) comparison, from an academic point of view, should be done with speakers and possib... | |
| 12yr old NAD receiver or new? NAD's new receiver (C720BEE) based on the 320BEE just came out last month; see product sheet .Regards, Rich | |
| Review: Prima Luna Prologue Two Tube amp Mario:Owning the Prologue Two has made me re-think my main system set-up ... it really is that enjoyable an amp. Thanks for noticing the rack height clearance. Since those pictures were snapped, I have move some components around and re-adjusted t... | |

| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Hi Gong:I am not quite sure what would be achieved by comparing these two amplifiers head to head, unless you were going to do a four way comparison and use both modern era and vintage speakers. The comparisons would then be 320 w/modern; 320 w/vi... |
