| bryston 28b sst2 or levinson 532H I own the latest 7Bs (similar to 14B but with more capacitance) mated to F52s and they do a very good job. I often think that the bass should be better but it has more to do with a lousy room set-up. While I have never owned a Levinson amp I would... | |
| Anyone hear the new Thiel 2.7 speakers at RMAF? I didn't attend RMAF but found the following:"(Lexington, KY) September 18th, 2012 - THIEL Audio (www.thielaudio.com), winner of over 60 prestigious awards for loudspeaker design and performance since 1978, has announced that the world premier of ... | |
| Supertramp Big Supertramp fan here. Unfortunately never did see them live in their original form but did see Roger a few years back in a very small venue - great show! Retrospectacle is a great compilation but shame on them for not including "Hide in your Sh... | |
| Best Tube preamplifier under $600 You can look for a Rogue Audio 66. Not sure you'll find a "magnum" version at that price but you never know. It does not have a tuner... | |
| Best Customer Service For me Bryston has always defined the epitome of Customer Service | |
| Esoteric DV-60 vs Oppo BDP-95 While I have not owned a DV-60 and therefore cannot assist on the comparison I own a 95 which I enjoy very much. I can also advise unless you are in a real hurry to get a 95 Oppo will be releasing their reported model "105" which will have some si... | |
| 20 Amp Power cable--work with "any" 20 amp unit? No I am pretty sure I got your point but was just saying that if I wanted to be completely lined up I would have everything from the box to the back of the preamp lined up with 20A rated products including the 20A plug for power cord going to the ... | |
| 20 Amp Power cable--work with "any" 20 amp unit? Well my DIY cord is 12G and my line (12G) is on a 20A breaker and my wall sockets are also 20A so I am covered everywhere other than the 15A termination on the plug end of my DIY cord if I want to follow the UL guidelines/rules.I guess the "right"... | |
| 20 Amp Power cable--work with "any" 20 amp unit? As a side note, do you ever notice that many, if not almost all, 20A IEC cords for sale here have 15A ends that attach to the wall? I would suspect that a good 15A Male end to the wall would be as good or as "safe" as a 20A male termination but I ... | |
| Best speaker for under 2gs Gerry, as noted above there is no "best" as there are too many unknowns. I would recommend 1.7 Maggies for under $2K but it wouldn't be worth squat if you didn't have the juice to run them nor the space to let them breathe.Provide some more detail... | |
| Oppo 95 vs Sony 5400/9000/777 who owned both? I have owned both the 95 (still own) and the 5400ES and found they are different but IMHO neither is substantially "better" than the other although I would give the 95 the edge. I kept the 95 as it plays everything.I also owned the older XA-9000ES... | |
| Revel F52 and Bryston 4B SST2 I have a pair of 7B-SST2 mated to my F52s and they do very well. I find the Revels tend to like some oomph and would think that the 4B would do fine depending on the size of your room and desired listening levels. | |
| low bass on Audio Research LS27 very interested in this as well | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan I tried the pure audio "trick" at the start of my listening session today and within 30 min the fan kicked in. I am fortunate that I am far enough away from the unit it does not affect the music. As info there is about 1.5" clearance above the uni... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? Burn-in would require at minimum for the unit to be turned on - this should have some juice running much of the circuits but probably not all. I would imagine that most people would advise that burn-in truly only happens when the unit is playing. ... |
