| Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers i haven't heard either of these, but if yure considering a change, proac recommends the arc 100.2 amp & the ls-16 or ls-25 preamp. i've heard the proac 2.5's w/the 100.2 & the ls-16, & it sounds great. | |
| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? frogman, again i suggest checking out vmps subs. give brian cheney, the owner/designer of vmps a call, after checking out his www. i also suggest checking out the reviews of the newform research r645 on audioreview, if ya like those e'stats so muc... | |
| Best Preamp under $5k?? i like my melos music director - this listed for $4600 w/o fono, $7400 w/fono. i picked mine up (w/o fono) for $2k used. | |
| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? from what i've read, it was the sw2000 that was supposed to be decent, but these were *not* budget. i like my pair of vmps larger subs, that are actually true subs, at a reasonable price. try response down to 17hz, 95db w/0.5%thd; 120db w/5.0%thd.... | |
| Sub for monster BASS!!!!!! try a pair of vmps larger subs. paired w/a pair of used solid-state bridged amps & a good electronic x-over (like marchand, for example), these will give you clean accurate powerful bass at *way* less the cost than anything comparable. i'm a c... | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade i haven't a-b'd this w/the higher-priced stuff, but i believe that the origin-live modified rega rb-250 is a great arm, especially for the money. o-l modifies *all* the rega arms, but they say the lowly 250 turns out at the top of the heap - even ... | |

| Pre-amp Gain, Too much? it wood depend on thje specs of the wolume pot - some have less distortion when wide-open, others are pretty much the same thru-out their range. i'd ask the mfr. my melos preamp also has tons-o-gain, the mfr asures me there's no difference in soun... | |
| SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr? i agree mostly w/mezmo - especially to ask thiel. but thiel's recommendation of a 100 wpc min amp doesn't necessarily mean one that puts out 200 watts into 4 ohms, as not all amps are class-a, that essentially double their power as the ohms halve.... | |
| Audio Research 100.2 amp hey ral, mebbe that's why i like my electrocompaniet amps - also a mosfet design. & no haze or bass wimpyness that *i'm* aware of... not that i have one for sale, or anything... ;~) | |
| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? al,whil i basically agree w/your position, i feel i can still wait a few months, because i believe that there will soon be decent ~$1200 retail digital-disc players that will do *all* formats. i can wait a few more months. but i also admit that i ... | |
| Hsu subs i've heard teh older hsu subs, & the newer 1225, tho older w/the hsu amp, the 1225 w/another amp. hsu subs *are* nice, but i prefer my vmps subs. what ever brand ya choose, get a pair for best audio response... | |

| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? koloft, don't get me wrong - i don't disagree w/ewe about the superior sound & deep pockets by sony. but these facts alone don't ensure the success of this medium. betamax was far superior to its competition, & the same deep pockets backed... |
