| Anyone heard the new B&W PM 1? Hi,I heard it at a local dealer last weekend. It's nice for it's size but it still is a small speaker so applicationand room size still come into play. It has a very clear and open sound. This was with Classe equipment and a PS audio perfectwave D... | |
| Audio Research VT 100 MK III vs. VS55 I've had a lot of Audio Research equipment over the years and I have had the same expereinces. When you compare their balanced inputs vs. single ended, the balanced almost always sound better. My theory is that ARC designs their circuits originall... | |
| ayon integrateds--USB input... for what? Not sure , but my take on it is that the USB is used for connecting an iPOD type device that simply plays through the integrated. There's is not listing of an internal DAC on their integrated amps that have an USB. | |
| Bryston BCD1 vs. Audio Research CD3 MkII I did a head to head comparison a couple of years back. I was thinking that the newer Bryston would be a good replacement for my ARC CD2 which is the previous model to the CD3. Even in that comparison, it was a very close call. I had an ARC Ref 1 ... | |
| In need of Audio Research preamp recommendation Checkout the Audio Research database www.arcdb.ws website for models and specifications. I have had over the years a LS-3, Ls-15, LS-16 LS-25MKII and a REF 1. All were good pieces. My favorite among the lot was the Ls-25MKII. It is very good piece... | |
| Audio Research VT130, VT100 MkII or VTM120? I had a VT100 MKII and the one issue I was not crazy about is the fan that this model has. Depending on your setup it can be noisy. The VT100 MKIII I think did away with the fan so it isn't an issue. As to the other models I don't have any first h... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound.....Anyone????? I recently bought the ST500 and the DAC2. I've owned ARC and Mcintosh over the years and the Wyred 4 Sound equipment is just as good. They are not much to look at but the internal design is very good. | |
| Cambridge Audio 840a vs McIntosh MA6500. I agree with Tpreaves. Everyone hears a little differently. Just trust your own ears. | |
| CDP for McIntosh MA6900 You may want to consider the McIntosh MCD 500. I have a MA 6600 with thw MCD301 nad they are very compatible together. I'm not a McIntosh fanatic but this combination seems to have a lot going for it. | |
| Magnepan MMG or something else Thanks Everyone for the input. Some really good advice here. My room is about 12 wide and about 25 feet deep total. It is a living room and dining room combined kind of thing. The speakers at the narrow end and about 5 feet apart with about 3 feet... | |
| Audio Research Ref Phono + Ref 2 RCA to XLR I'd tried thi son my PH 3 and had good results going to my LS 25 preamp. I bought $10.00 variety adapters at a por audio shop. The Cardas are over priced in my opinion. So for 20.00 you try it and see if you like it and you;re not out too much money. | |
| PC based music server from TAS Point taken on the quality of the Echo sound card. If the recording industry is really going in this direction for software i.e. MP3 downloads vs. CD sales, than are they taking a step backwards in sound quality? | |
| ARC Pre + which SS amp? I'm running the LS16 with a BAT Vk 220 SS amp. This works well also. |
