| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers The most important thing about building a system is component matching.

| How to pick your first SET tube amp? If you have a small room and don't play your music loud I would recommend a 2a3 base amp. They put out about 3.5 watts and is probably one of the best sounding tubes available. 300b based amps tend to be very popular since they can run on any spea... | |
| Speakers below 800 Get a pair of used klipsch heresys. They run about $500 used and they are great for both applications. They are 96db effecient so you can run them on a whopping 3 watts. The don't have great bass but if they have decent bass and you can supplement... | |
| Cary 303-100 versus a modded 333ES Curious? Does your ART sound much better than the 333es on redbooks. I've heard a lot of hype about the ART . Can you describe the differences. | |
| DACs with volume controls You could build a bottlehead foreplay preamp for $150 and get a sony sacd 333es or 555es player for under a grand from some of the dealers on the net or good guys in california. I think they are selling the 333es for $400. With the money you save,... | |
| Speakers for my Golden tube SE 300B II SE 9w Please help If you are into horns, I would recommend the oris horn 150 available from welborne labs or any well designed lowther horn including the voight pipe which is real easy to build. The Oris's are the best speakers I've ever heard. If you don't like ho... | |

| B&W N804 System Upgrade - Cary CD? The source is always the most important. Ever hear the term garbage in garbage out. Your sony dvd player and adcom carosel is not doing your system justice. I would definitely try the sony sacd player. The 777es sounds great and can be had for les... | |

| Mcintosh Amps w/ B&W 801'S Obviously you have a lot of money on your hands, so I would skip the Macs all together. I've heard the 801 matched with krells 600c and it sounded wonderful. It was in a large 20x35 room and the room still seemed too small. These speakers were als... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more I wish I was like larry and could not tell the difference. I would be happy with a computer with some altecs listening to mp3's i downloaded free from napster. Life would be great because instead of spending all this money of stereo equipment, I c... | |
| CD-R's vs. CD-RW's If you are referring to mp3's then it does not matter because mp3's sound terrible anyway. They are convenient and free but they do not sound good. Most people don't notice because they consider their computer and altec computer speakers hi-fi. I ... |
