| Handling Heavy Amps I just got a 100lb amp. The delivery guy brought it into my apartment and I took it out of the box and put it on the bottom shelf of my stereo rack. I'm in my 60s and managed it fine. I was worried. To be honest I'm having a senior moment and don'... | |
| Power cable Advice... I'm thinking of going from Mackenzie interconnects to Earth between my amp and pre. Do you honestly believe it is all snake oil and any difference I hear is the placebo effect? But then we are talking about audio and not medicine so isn't the plac... | |
| Interconnects Well I won't be able to tell until I get my new amp really. But I was wondering what people who have used Mackenzies in the past found improved when they upgraded interconnects or have they stayed with this level of Audioquest and found no level o... | |
| Coincident Line Stage Mk II vs Audio Research ref 10 I should add that as good as the ref 6se is the ref 10 made the walls of my city apartment living room disappear and I was transported into a space where there was just the music held back by nothing. | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One 2001 for existing music. Gone with the Wind or North by Northwest for original score. | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Never My Love live from a concert on The Fifth Dimension's greatest hits LP. I guess they never recorded it. I wasn't expecting it and it floored me. Marilyn McCoo at her considerable best. Wonderful sound. | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp I have an arc pre I love. I don’t think I’m getting enough transparency of instrumentation from my Pass Labs 25 watts per channel. Would the D400MKll be the answer? It’s easily available at good prices. I have always read as well arc works best wi... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? But shouldn’t 89dbs with the proper amp be able to comfortably handle large symphonic forces? They really are wonderful speakers. | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? The Benchmark is very inexpensive. In the world of high end audio one asks what is going on? I'm not doubting you I'm just thinking wow. | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? One can always use another Mahler 2. I will check it out. I'm afraid the arc 160m is something I can't do. Maybe someday... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? jjss49 Yes I have come across many good things said about AGD. I just was interested in knowing how it compared to the xa25 and people knowing my equipment how it might fare. It’s also helpful to know you had the xa25 twice which means you found... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? On another forum somebody went from a xa25 to an AGD Audion. Affordable and physically manageable Anybody have experience with these? | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? Thanks very much for all your suggestions. I had the VTL S200 a while ago and I loved the sound but I found it a bit temperamental and I found dealing with the company not the easiest thing in the world. They do make a wonderful product. But it is... | |

| Disadvantages of buying old solid state. I bought an ARC pre new. And for some reason I have in my head it will sound better used fully balanced rather than single ended. People have praised how wonderful it sounds with an 80s or 160m but unfortunately at this time those are not in my bu... |
