| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? i had a tandberg 3011a - it dint hold a candle to my onix bwd-1 w/soap power supply, or my revox b-261, either in reception *or* sound-quality. it was about on par w/my adcom gft-1a (adcom's best tuner, imho). now, the tandberg 3001 - *that's* a t... | |
| Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi? krell *is* considered hi-fi. not *my* cup-o-tea; i don't appreciate mfr's that change their models as often as most folks change their underwear... doug | |
| Are Carver amps worth a damn? the receiver is the weakest link, imho - no way to get good *audio* out of a home-theatre setup. get a good audio-only preamp. if ya *have* to have a home-theatre setup w/yer audio set-up, get a preamp that allows one input to default to that inpu... | |

| Best Subwoofer for music and movies i like vmps - get a pair, use a good used solid state amp, & a good electronic x-over - yule get better sound than a powered sub, for less $$$ - and, ya need two for decent audio - yust my opinion. doug | |

| What happened to Duntech? john dunlavy (formerly of duntech) started his own company, as ewe mention, jschrimpf. duntech is still around, in australia... doug | |
| Audio Research LS 16 opinions. vtl tl-5.5 has this feature, but it's only their most recent production models - if yer buying used, check the serial # w/vtl - they can mod older units if ya send it to them... doug | |
| What happened to Duntech? i don't know all the details, but i *do* know that when john dunalvy left the company, duntech was not allowed to sell directly in the usa. they're still alive, (& well?) in australia, & ewe can purchas duntech brand-new, but it will have ... | |

| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? hi cornfedboy, the only honking i associate w/avantgarde acoustics speakers is *your comments*. they are *very* musical, not all those folks who love 'em are deaf. no arguments w/their appearance, tho. i *do* respect that ewe don't like their soun... | |
| Need a good tuner and there aren't many? sws2, i agree w/the sound quality of the linn/naim. but ya can't get their top tuners for $1k, even used. that's why i got the onix bwd1, w/soap power-supply - virtually indistinguishable sonics from the linn/naim, better selectivity, better price... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers he fred, if james & his buddies tink he's getting good sound w/set's on his talons, so be it. it's prolly wery nice. i tink, unless yuve heard *his* set-up, ewe can't make a judgment that it's not working. *everyone* knows the generalized limi... | |
| Rouge M120 With 99 or 66 Preamp hi plato, ya, i'm the guy w/the *alleged* impedance mismatch. re: the magnum upgrade, perhaps it's not official, but it's real, i paid real money for it. also, further upgraded my 99 w/nos ge tubes which helped a *lot* (line-stage only; i have an ... | |
