| A little assistance please on a SS Integrated Amp I would consider pairing the JM Labs with a NAD C320BEE (new, list price of $400). Nice sounding integrated amp; not terribly fussy with cables and interconnects; and with the left over cash (and about a $100 more) she could actually consider purc... | |
| Re: Sony S570 dvd player can play SACD??? Actually, the S570 is from the same generation of players, except that its styling was to go with the SONY Wega (silver color). I never had the C:13 problems that a lot of 360/560/570 owners were complaining about (famous last words), but I gather... | |
| Re: Sony S570 dvd player can play SACD??? I have a S560, which I believe is from the same generation (circa 2000) of SONY DVD players that you are referring to (S360 was the single player without decoders; S560 was the single player with decoders; S570 was the changer with decoders). When... | |
| $5000 to spend.... Actually, save your cash ... it may take longer than you think to land a new gig. You have a really nice system ... now you have some extra time to enjoy it. If you MUST spend the money ... wait until you land a new gig and then, take off an extra... | |
| Stirling LS 3/5a? Anyone compare to older........ I believe that in this month's (or possibly last month's issue) of Hi Fi News, they do a comparison of four of the new era BBC 3/5 replacements. I forget which of the four speaker companies were compared (well, I remember two ... Spendor and Harbe... | |
| RUsh: Feedback ep So, on more than a few occasions Ben has said something that has taken root deep in the recesses of my mind and has gotten me to thinking. The culprit this time is ... "I think this record sounds plain nuts in theory." By way of background, my mos... | |
| Integrated CD/Pre + Amp or CD plus integrated amp? I thought that the idea of a preamp/cd player was a clever idea from a convenience point of view, similar in a way to an Adcom GTP 500 II preamp/tuner combination that I had used for 13 years. I own the MF CD PRE24 and use it in conjunction with a... | |
| RUsh: Feedback ep Ben:Actually, Alice Cooper did have a song "Seven and Seven Is" from the Special Forces album (early 80's). A Love song makes much more sense though in this context ... Lee is the composer and it is from the late 60's. Thanks for the save. I heard... | |
| RUsh: Feedback ep Interesting 8 song EP in the respect that the songs come from 4 sources. Five of the songs are either from the Yardbirds/Cream (Heart Full of Soul; Shapes of Things; Crossroads) or Buffalo Springfield (For What It's Worth; Mr. Soul). On top of tha... | |
| looking for amp for thiel 2.4 speakers. I was speaking with some representatives from Musical Fidelity at the stereo show in NYC in May and they were demonstrating their amplifiers with Thiel speakers. Their claim was that this pairing was more than just a show pairing, but rather they ... | |

| $600 budget, upgrage amp, cd or speakers? HELP Normally, I would suggest spending the money on a good dedicated CD player, but as long as you primarily play MP3's ... the system sound can only go so far. If MP3's are going to remain your primary source for now, you may want to save your cash f... | |
| Changing to less expensive gear. Nrchy:We seem to be weighing in on the same threads. I have two systems that I primarily use ... a higher end Musical Fidelity system and a mid-fi NAD/SONY system. I use the same speakers in each system ... I own 2 pair of Acoustic Research 302 Cl... | |
| NHT ST4 with Adcom Amplification? Duane:The NHT ST4's will give you a noticeably different sound than the B&W's. I always found the B&W 600 series a little dry sounding, with a tendency to emphasize the treble end of the spectrum. The NHT's are going to sound warmer and so... |
