Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75?
I have recently tried an Aloia 15.01 amp that is "rated" at 70 watts but has an inductive power supply that weighs about 70lbs with my Khorus speakers. I have heard the Pass X350 as well as Alchemist 200 watt dual mono class A amp which I own. All... 
What's best CD player one piece price no object
I know I am a little behind on this one but I have had the pleasure of listening to a lot of the above players in my system. All that I have heard have been very good.I currently own a EMC1 with the 24/192. Other players I have heard in my system:... 
Best configuration for Pioneer DV-47 & Theta DAC?
Your dac and most audio dacs will not know what to do with a dolby digital signal. You have to use the PCM. Also it will do the same on higher bit outputs on the player as the dac knows not what a 24 bit 96k stream is. You will be confined to usin... 
Anyone A/B'd Rega Ear on HD600's to other HP amps?
Thanks for the info to all! Thanks for the congrats Nath! 
Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????
Ripping the speaker apart and poking "it" from the backside would probably get the wrinkle out as well, but you may hear some high pitch noise from it. For this I recommend a port chuffer! 
Talon Khorus Vs Audio Physic Avanti III
I have to agree with Samual. I own the Perigrines and my dad owns the Khorus/Roc combo and they are spectacular. Very deserving of the finest electronics out there. One must listen to a pair VERY broken in though-the first month of owning these sp... 
Techno Anyone?
Here are some awesome ones not mentioned yet: For the down-tempo or similar "trip-hop" we have Massive Attack-any of their records are must haves. Also, Faithless would fall into this catogory-I have seen Leftfield mentioned here which is also goo... 
buzzzzz, where did i go wrong?
No one has touched on this yet. So try this: 1st hook up the amp to the speakers ONLY. Do not hook the preamp to it. Is hum still present? If so, the amp has a noisy transformer. If not, connect the pre to the amp but dont hook anything else to th... 
"Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ?
I second Delerium-Everyone I have turned on to this band loves them. Any of their work 1994 on. Also, a forth coming group Balligomingo sounds almost the same...Great hi fi sound and sensual/sexy/warm and fuzzy music to boot. So my wife says... An... 
portishead, goldfrapp, looking for more ......
Good stuff so far, but why hasn't anyone mentioned Delerium? Their 4 most recent albums are incredible-Great hi fi demos to boot! Kind of dark for some though. I will second Massive Attack-anything by them is great. Some others not mentioned: Soma...
