| B W 802 Nautilus on hardwood floor...need help Area rug, definitely, and put your speakers on stands, either Sound Anchors or the Sistrum speaker stands using Audiopoints. B&W speakers improve enormously on stands. | |
| i want better preamp than levinson no.26 Hi, I have the BAT VK30SE and love it, but I have no idea how it would sound in your system. I have it w/an ARC VT100 Mk III and a Marantz SACD-1 player, and I use Ensemble interconnects and power cords. It all sounds fantastic, in my opinion. The... | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) Scott, this was the best thing I've read on Audiogon in a LONG time. I love the blues and listen to all kinds, plus get all kinds too, but I have to say I laughed out loud at your observations. Sarah | |
| Marantz SA-1 reliability problem Rdr4B: I'm glad you like the SA-1, I always like having my own opinions agreed with! Would something like the PS Audio P300, where you can pick the voltage you will be supplying the equipment plugged into it, solve your problem, at least with supp... | |
| What Does It Take to be an Audiophile? Celtic 66, your response mirrors what I planned on answering to this thread: being an audiophile involves frequent (even incessant) irresponsible purchases of equipment and tweaks that are not necessary but are nevertheless essential. The whole pr... | |
| Marantz SA-1 reliability problem Hi, I live in Alexandria, VA (Washington DC suburb) and have had my SA-1 for 9-10 months, running it every day for at least an hour, and no problems w/fuses or anything else. We don't have the electrical probs LA has been having, however. don't yo... | |
| Anyone Familar With ESS Speakers? I owned the AMT 1A's in the mid-70s and thought they were the best thing I'd ever heard. But this was my first "high end" system after graduating from college and these speakers replaced some little AR bookshelf box speakers. The woofers rotted ou... | |
| Acurus ACT3 vs B K Ref 20 Hi, I have the new Acurus Act 3 w/bass management and can report that it has been functioning flawlessly for about 5 months, no hiss or problems with the remote or software (which I had heard used to be somewhat unreliable in the past). No analog ... | |
| Tube pre sspwramp vs sspre tubepwr Sorry, you're right! My mistake. I wonder if the SS 100.2 sounds as good or even similar to the VT100 Mk II or III?I have the VT100 but have never heard the SS 100.2. | |
| Tube pre sspwramp vs sspre tubepwr The ARC 100.2 is tube amp. | |
| CD player or DAC ?? I second and third the recommendations for the CAL Icon Mk II. Also, check out the Ah New Tjoeb! CD player for $579 NEW from Upscale Audio. Both these 1-box players are dynamite for the money, and the Icon can be had for under $400 used on Audiogo... | |
| How Do You Clean Your CD's? I have never cleaned a CD, and i've been playing them now for 15 years. I've never cleaned a CD player either. | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Sonny Rollins, Way Out West (XRCD is best, but any version sounds great); Rodney Crowell, Houston Kid; Guy Clark, Cold Dog Soup; Van Morrison, Astral Weeks; Bach, Solo Cello Suites, performed by anybody! | |
| Are Vienna Acoustics really this good I have owned the Beethoven's for about 6 months now and cannot be more pleased with the performance, not to mention the gorgeous, slim-line looks (I bought them in Rosewood). I liked them better than the Mahlers. I use them with a REL sub but when... | |
| SACD????? Hi, I own a SACD player (Marantz SA1) but mostly play regular CDs on it with GREAT satisfaction! Super musical, incredible detail, etc. The few SACDs I have don't sound all that much better, if any, to my ear. But I love the Marantz player because... |
