| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps I had a negative opinion of class D amps. One of the first of these amps was a PS Audio amp that received a very favorable review in Stereophile. I auditioned one at home in my system and it was the worst amp I've ever heard. Everything sounded fa... | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? I believe there are many listeners that prefer an excess of bass. I like to indulge at times myself. However, when I listen to the Phoenix Symphony live, or jazz concerts at the center for the arts I do not hear/feel that excess bass subwoofers pr... | |

| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? You're nuts. What's plan B if you follow your dream and buy the 802's and it sounds as bad as I and most respondents think? Do you knock out walls or move? Maybe it is best to start out with plan C, that is to match the speaker to the room and you... | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System My answer = C. Cables make a difference but there are many flavors of cheap to moderately priced cables available to assemble a great sounding system. | |
| Best Multi channel amp under $2,000 used or new Wyred 4 Sound has 220w per side five channel amp for 1999.00 and a seven channel for 2395.00. These amps produce virtually no heat and have excellent bass and are not bright or aggressive in the upper mid/lower treble like many amps. I am using an... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables You will find many opinions as to which is preferable. An optimized setup will outweigh any gains/losses in length of IC vs speaker cable. My main system necessitates the long speaker cable and short IC model and it is the right choice for that ro... | |
| Best way to spend $2k on a used Turntable & Arm? There's an Origin Live Aurora listed right now for 1399.00 which has received positive reviews. It is a stunning looking table as well. | |
| McIntosh 402 Bi-wired to B&W 802d's I tried the setup with my VAC amp with N802's not d version. The lower crossover is rather high for all 802's at 350hz, and as I recall the impedance is lowest at 60Hz (around 3.5 ohm), but it is a narrow trough. I did not hear an improvement. One... | |

| Balanced Tube Preamps for Nuforce Ref 9SE V3 I don't recall CJ preamps having balanced inputs/outputs. Otherwise, I'm sure they are deserving of all the accolades accorded them. | |

| Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better? Last night I listened to an original of Simple Dreams and then played the Mo Fi Prisoner in Disguise and I found the Mo Fi to be sonically superior. My copy is 00974. There is no way I would even think about calling it barely listenable. Compared ... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp - suggestions? I have a Shrimp as a secondary (backup) preamp. In my system the Shrimp is punchy, exuberant, and certainly not laid back. Compared to the VAC Renaissance it does lack bass weight and impact. It also lacks some of the spacing, refinement and sound... |
