Feb 12, 2004	Too many tubed components in the system? Personally, I am on the other side of the fence. I do believe that too many tubes is a problem. Have I heard all tube systems that sounded reasonably good? Yes. But most sounded even better once one or two components were replaced with SS. In many...
Jan 20, 2004	Arcam AV8, Krell Showcase or Aragon Stage One I would rate them basically the same way you have them written. Arcam first, Krell a very close second, and the Aragon 10th or 11th (i.e., not anywhere close to being in the same league as the other two). The Arcam and Krell both provide excellent...
Jan 16, 2004	A cry for help to Snell B owners Something definitely does not sound correct. I have used a single 100W Classe' DR-10 with my B's and they did pretty well. I have also bi-amped with the Classe's and things got a little better but not it definitely wasn't a huge difference. Try ju...
Dec 29, 2003	Confused about Krell FPB 300 400 200 Amplifiers Dual power supplies will give you greater separation of the signal and ensure that you have no "bleed-over". They will also allow you to plug into two separate AC circuits if you have them in your room (just have to be careful about creating a gro...
Dec 17, 2003	The ideal listening room There are several competing thoughts on room design. Where most people screw up is that they mix and match between them without understanding the big picture. Pick your design philosophy and stick to it religiously. My best suggestion is to get a ...
Dec 09, 2003	Renting out your audio room Actually, I do rent out my audio room. I have a couple of recording studios that use it to proof their master CDs before going to print. In almost every case, they have found something wrong with their CD that they did not hear on their own setup....
Dec 09, 2003	to buy or not to buy acurus act3 200five combo? I think this is more of a latteral move more than a major upgrade. The Acurus amps are reasonably good but tend to run a little bright. The ACT3 was problem-prone from the very beginning (I owned one of the first batch :-(. In January, I had my AC...
Dec 03, 2003	Snell type B:any upgrades? My original Snell B's also have the plastic binding posts. About 2 years ago I had the woofers die in one of my speakers. I couldn't afford to fork over the $300 or so per weighted woofer that Snell charged so went with the equivalent Vifa woofer ...
Nov 07, 2003	Anyone heard the Krell Showcase yet? I had one in my demo system a month or so ago. It was a far better performer than the Aragon Stage One that I have been using. Home Theater performance was great and analog pass-through (stereo and multi-channel SACD) was acceptable. The stereo pe...
Sep 11, 2003	Weight vs Wattage vs Current vs Slam vs Value Hello PaulWP,Yes, I am an Ampzilla dealer as well as a few other brands. Trying to post helpful information on sites like this is somewhat difficult for a dealer like myself. If I say that I am a dealer, I get flamed for "advertising". If I don't ...
Sep 10, 2003	Weight vs Wattage vs Current vs Slam vs Value All other things being equal (and they usually are not), a heavier amp will have more slam than a lighter one. In many cases, my experience is that a heavier amp is also preferred to a higher wattage amp. As an example, a pair of 200W Ampzilla mon...
Jul 26, 2003	replacing Dunlavy SC-IV's Audiokinesis makes some great points. I have always been impressed with the Dunlavy line and you would be hard-pressed to find a speaker that presents a more holographic image (at least within the sweet spot). You can get a Dunlavy V used for abou...
