Speakers with max of 32" high
I read the part about max height being 33". But if you can go .5"-1.5" taller then check out the offerings from Totem. They are really outstanding. 
KEF LS50 vs. Monitor Audio Silver2
Doggiehouser, Thanks for the post, I appreciate it. The Pioneers are doing a great job for me so maybe there is a chance I would like what the LS50 could do in my room. Thanks for sharing your results with them in a larger room.Mapman, thanks for ... 
KEF LS50 vs. Monitor Audio Silver2
Doggiehowser, would you recommend the LS50 in a 26x23'X8-10'ceiling room? I'm completely satisfied with the sound I'm getting from my Pioneer SP-BS22-LR stand mount speakers and I'm thinking I might give the LS50s a try. Something tells me my room... 
Just Pulled The Trigger
rlb61, you're in for a treat. As mentioned let them settle in for a couple weeks and you'll be loving it. I still think about how good they were in my system. Still wish I had them but sadly had to sell them off. 
Arcam irDAC break in time and sound changes?
Hello, Decooney. That's great! I'm glad the irDac is sounding good. I hope I get a chance to hear the irDac myself soon.Yes, I wouldn't leave the tube amps on all the time either. When I had tubes I would only have them on when I would be listenin... 
Arcam irDAC break in time and sound changes?
Decooney, I gather from your posts you are turning the irDac off when not listening to it. If so you might want to try leaving it on for 24-48 hours and see if you like what you hear. I leave my rDac on 24/7. I also leave my amp on most of the tim... 
Arcam irDAC break in time and sound changes?
My experience with the rDac, predecessor to the irDac, was the sound opened up and sounded pleasant but a bit wooly, dark and closed in for the first 25 hours. From 25-50 hours the sound at times went south with leanness and was bright. By the 75 ... 
Opinion on Music Hall A50.2 integrated amp
Geph0007, I don't know anything about the Yamaha pieces but they look very impressive. Thanks for the 325BEE/2010s comparison. Like you I found the 325 to be an improvement over the 320.Paraneer has a very good point too about adding a good phono ... 
Opinion on Music Hall A50.2 integrated amp
Geph0007, I feel about the same as you do in regards to integrated amps in the $1200 and under range. I have the NAD c320BEE and c325BEE and they are nice but are what they are (which is a nice budget amp). I'm sorry but I can't tell you how the M... 
A49 Arcam
Thanks, Jeff. Yes, I hope they do make an A29 or A39. I would love to hear what my A19 would do with 100 watts. The 50 watts and everything else about the A19 is fantastic!Dcgandhi, I wish I could help you with a comparison of the E460/A49. I do h... 
A49 Arcam
Thanks for the info, Arcamguy. I've had the A19 for the past couple of months and absolutely love it. Not only for how great it sounds but also its build quality and functionality (the volume control is one of the best I have ever used). I can't w... 
Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables
There are many great cables available out there. With your budget I hope you consider WireWorld. In the past I have used cables from Analysis Plus, Cardas, and MIT (good cables all). I recently put a full set of WireWorld cables in my system and h... 
Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS
Thanks for the update, Mesch. It's great when a system comes together. Enjoy! 
wht power cable to use
Danovak, congratulations on the Brio-r! If it came with the typical 18g cord an upgraded pc should provide positive results. If I were you I'd spend a few weeks with the stock cord and then try others.With my Arcam FMJ A19 I first tried a shielded... 
Suggestions For A Good USB Digital Cable
WireWorld has an excellent line of USB cables. I've been using their UltraViolet USB and it is wonderful. It was a very nice upgrade from a Belden Gold. AudioQuest also has a well received line of USB cables. I'm getting some of the best sound fro...
