| To buy or not to buy Audiolab 8000C I would agree with Seandtaylor99. The price for the unit shouldn't go above $200 and whatmore with lose RCA's! $180 should be just right. The RCA's are not an issue since you can get them changed to quality WBT plugs which will give you quite a su... | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Pianos vs. Thiel 1.6's I concur with Lrsky's statement. I have heard both the Sonus Faber GP's and Thiel 1.6 in my system. The 1.6 is too bright and forward sounding for my taste while the GP's are so much musical, smoother and refined in comparison. I would go with the... | |
| Plinius M8 or CD-LAD I didn't expect to get a reply to my thread but thanks to you as it does helped since I was also considering between the CD-LAD and the Classe CP-47.5!Although I had been contemplating to get the matching Plinius pre, I had always been considering... | |
| What needs to go? Seems like you need to give special attention to your source as most people have suggested. Although all components are equally important, the primary data of the music which comes from CD's are extracted from the source and hence no good player n... | |
| Denon 2803 vs 3803 Okay maybe I'm slightly off with my statement of the Denon coming close at a "fraction of the cost". The main point that I was trying to put through is that top-of-the-line receivers have improved tremendously and offer almost comparable(if not be... | |
| Denon 2803 vs 3803 Although separates are superior, I would agree with Mborner that current receivers have improved tremendously over the years. One fine example is the Denon AVR-5803 and although it may not be comparable to the best separates out there but it comes... | |
| Plinius or Mark Levinson for Grand Pianos? I have got the Plinius SA-100MkIII for my Grand Pianos. Despite running the amp cold in the first 30 minutes, I can verify that the Plinius is a huge step up from the ARC D130.Jadem6 you are right I am very happy with the upgrade. Basically everyt... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? MP3 will be obsolete by 2006. | |
| Plinius or Mark Levinson for Grand Pianos? Well Kops I don't have a preamp at the moment and currently running the amp straight into my XA7ES CD player. Will get a preamp once I get the Plinius SA100MkIII. Yet to sort out that one. My room is pretty huge so I need the power but will soon p... | |
| Plinius or Mark Levinson for Grand Pianos? Thanks for all your replies. Initially was considering the Bryston 4B-ST but decided to get something more exotic after all. Strongly considering the Plinius SA-100MKIII now and hopefully it's a better amp the ARC D130 overall. The ARC was decent ... | |
| ok guys get me into 200+ wpc Prpixel, may I ask if there are any differences between the 8008BB and the 8008ST? And how do you compare it with the Bryston 4B-ST? My speakers are SF Grand Piano Concerto and I would very much appreciate if you could advise me whether I go for t... | |
| B&W Nautilus or Dali Euphonia B&W Nautilus for one simple reason. They are my dream system. | |
| Anybody with Stewart FireHawk Screen? Thanks guys. Since the retractable screens of Stewart are too expensive, I've decided to go for a fixed screen instead. Even the Stewart dealer recommended a fixed screen over electrically retractable ones although the latter looked quite impressi... | |
| speaker suggestions for modest arcam alpha system arthurchoice,the Alpha 10 integrated will definitely be a huge improvement over your Alpha 8. It is much more powerful than the Alpha 8. The result will be improved dynamics across the music spectrum with noticeably better bass control and highs. ... | |
