| Which screwdriver needed for Musical Fidelity A324 The last piece of MF gear I opened was an A3 cd player. I needed to go to the auto parts store and get a star driver with the hole in the center. They used tamper proof screws. | |
| Integrated for GMA Europa, Rega Apollo audio refinement complete should be at the top of your list in that price range and with those speakers. | |
| 1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is.. audio physic virgo. Also audio refinement complete and musical fidelity A308 int. | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF Try to listen to a pair of Wilson Duettes. Chances are you might be impressed | |
| Levinson no. 383 compared to others? If you saw a 383 for $2500, it was a steal. I've never seen them for anywhere near that. I think that there are other integrateds that sound better, but the leveinson is incredible from a design stand point. It is a real joy to use. The remote is ... | |
| MDF versus Baltic Birch? Baltic birch is a better choice for rigidty than mdf. | |
| DIY? How to get feet wet? Take a peek at diyaudio.com they have an amplifier section there. You can learn about kits that people have built, what they sound like, and mistakes to avoid. | |

| Help a Newbie. Considering Usher Be 718's I think if you like the Ushers they would be the right choice. I only heard them breifly at AKfest and did not like them. It could be much different in my own room though. I tend to agree with the idea of putting the most money you can into speake... | |
| Supporting Local Audio Stores are we? High end audio (especially two channel) has become an exteremly niche market. WIth dealers closing up left and right (we lost the only two we had with the past three years, and they were not exactly high end) it's going to get worse. I have discov... | |
| KRELL S-300i How does it sound ? The S 300i is brand new. You are confusing it with the 300 iL from the KAV series. This is the S series. It is a step down from the 400 xi (or, at least as series go, I have not heard it) | |
| What's next for the ultimate sound quality? That's what audiogon is for. Figure out what you want, buy it used, and sell it later for small or no loss if you don't like it. In my opinion, those speakers deserve better than a reciever. Something like a really nice integrated, or a separate p... | |
| What's next for the ultimate sound quality? There are many tube amps out there that will do just fine against your Panasonic. In fact, if you got sold on that one because it is "all digital" I'm afraid you've been had. It sounds like you have not had the opportunity to experiment with many ... | |
