| Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens I can't believe nobody mentioned Audio Research. Audio Research is excellent with Vandersteens. I don't know what he uses now, but Richard Vandersteen regularly used Audio Research to show off his speakers at shows and that combination with a Vand... | |
| Rowlands It is interesting how brands fall in and out of popularity. For several years I stopped reading reviews and did my own thing. Now that I am back I find brands that were considered mediocre at best are well respected by the audiophile community. | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Bifwynne, I have heard some models of Paradigm speakers can sound thin. Have you considered looking into a REL to compliment your main speakers? | |

| Speaker with most dynamic PUNCH? Audiofeil, Yes, I think Marty's guitar amp had some PUNCH! | |
| Speaker with most dynamic PUNCH? This is how rumors get started. | |
| What features should a good CD player have? If your buying decision is based on features and specs you will be disappointed with your purchase. | |
| Help with a first tube amp Please If you want a taste of tubes look for a clean Dynaco Stereo 70 and Pas 3x. That combination out performed an Adcom GFA 555 power amp (200 watts) and Adcom GFP 565 preamp. The Dynaco combo had a bigger soundstage, better dynamics and a much more re... | |
| Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing? It is more a question of, can it be repaired properly? Who is going to match the parts being replaced like Pioneer did when your receiver was originally manufactured. It is not likely your Pioneer receiver will sound as good after the repair. Also... |
