| What Amp with KEF 105.2? A big, beefy, hi-current amp is what you want. I *loved* those speakers back in the day - but they sure could suck up some juice. I reckon at least 200 watts/ch. of hi-current amplification would od them jusitce.BTW, the advice to rotate the woofe... | |
| The best classic reel to reel tape recorders Revoxs are top-quality decks, and expensive to repair. The *best* sounding home reel deck I've ever heard was the Tandberg TD-20A SE with the DynEQ ActiLinear circuits. Those decks sounded *superb*!!-RW- | |
| Are all external hard drives the same? You want a USB drive with its own power supply. I have an Oppo bDP-93 and it plays quite well with my 3 Seagate FreeAgen 1.5TB drives and with my WD 750GB drive. All of these are USB 2.0 spec drives. It will NOT recognize my new Seagate Backup Plu... | |

| are all sacd players the same? Well, at some point in the chain, those digital signals *must* be converted to analog. So the DAC and output stages do make a difference. Is that difference worth $5,000 to you? And do you have the ears, speakers, and a room that would justify spe... | |
| Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner Tandberg tuners vintage early 80s were always considered top-class tuners. Same with Yamaha T-2s as I recall. The Day Seuqerra was highly regarded as well...-RW- | |
| Is it too much to ask.... I wasn't asking for someone to re-iterate *every* single spec. on the amp. But it would seem prudent to at least list the power rating, perhaps the THD and such, the weight, and dimensions.Asking a potential buyer to Google up these simple facts w... | |
| Is it too much to ask.... Wow, Viridian, I am surprised at your response. Certainly the items you mentioned are important. But, after all, an amp's main job is to amplify the signal. And how hard would it be to simply list the mfgr's output ratings?-RW- | |
