| Cary 303-100 versus a modded 333ES The ART offers better resolution and more air around the instruments. Increased clarity without getting in your face. It'll be up for sale as I have decided to let my budget rule and mod the 333ES. | |
| Recommended integrated for B&W 802? While I've never owned this speaker I can't imagine that there are too many integrateds out there that could really offer the juice you might need (depending on room size...) to make these guys sing! A high powered Plinius or Classe might do the t... | |
| Which amp is better... There seems to be an opinion (can't remember where I read it, sorry)that the new models (14B and 6B) have addressed some of the issues surrounding the lack of midrange niceties that the 7B and 4B amps are perceived to lack. I own a 4B-ST and can't... | |
| SS amp and tube preamp combo for Martin Logan Sl-3 When I owned a pair of Acoustat spectra hybrids (similar design to your ML's) I had a 4B-ST and found that the addition of a Rogue 66 was the ticket. Now I'm not saying the Rogue is the end all but its a very nice tube preamp for the money! | |
| NAD CD Player - C521, C541Which one? Depending on your budget both are very nice products at their price points but if you can swing the 541 get it! | |
| Fusion CD-64 CDP HDM - it apparently retails for $4K cdn or $2500 US. Thats all I know about it at this point... | |
| music for a broken heart What I would do is look for music that is up-beat! No matter where you turn - car radio, music on tv shows/movies, playing over the loudspeakers at the local dept. store, etc. will all pull at your heart strings so don't go looking for music to ad... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers For 350 Or Less?? new & used Not sure of the price but the Bronze line from Monitor Audio should fall somewhere in your budget range. I just replaced a pair of JM Labs Tantal 505 with the MA Bronze 2 and there was a nice swing upwards in definition and low end reproduction - ... | |
| Best Budget power Cords The Asylum cord is a great cord at the price point. Well built, cheap price and some of the proceeds go to Charity. Mine works very well with my Rogue 66 power supply - better than the stock cord it came with. Its not the end all/be all as if it w... | |
| Have you heard SACD? Yes an I own a 333ES but the lack of software in Canada (Sony single layer and a few Telarcs via HMV.com) and what is available is prohibitively expensive. Forget about buying off US sites as the current exchange rate is in the toilet coupled with... | |
| Rotel RCD 991 AE with MSB III Half Nelson DAC Slightly off topic - How does the "AE" version differ from the "normal" Rotel 991??? | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. I tried the Murray James cables (ics) in my system and while a good value were bested by a number of cables some of which were admittedly more expensive. Its all about synergy and not necessarily the costs involved... | |
| i need a beter interconnects to my systam While I have yet to hear them personally I believe you should also look at products from Luminous Audio and TG Audio - apparently great values... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... First album received was a K-Tel 33 1/3(Canadian co. who produced compilations of top 100 songs) - wore it out on my parent's Electrohome console stereo. First album purchased with paper route money was Black Sabbath's Paranoid... After the first ... | |
| Siltech G5 against the rest of the world. Now we are getting into another level of expenditures considering the Siltechs are twice the price of the Valhallas... IMHO, when one starts talking about pulling the trigger on a pair of $7500 cables then its time to think about other options. A ... |
