| XM radio no longer commercial free I won't subscribe to any radio service. The idea of paying for something which before was free (AM,FM with commercials), vs. satillite (monthly fee plus commercials)is unappetizing at best. It won't be long before the commercial time on satillite ... | |
| Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps Levinson 436 is a superb amplifier. Probably one of the best at $12,000. Beyond this surely the 33h and 33 qualify!Another amp I have lots of experience with the Krell KSA-250! | |
| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? I highly recommend the Levinson 436 amps. See my ad on Audiogon. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1136401085I've used them for several years and compared them to Krell monos, Classe, and several others. In my system (all Levinso... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teejay,Thanks for the info. I see there is a DCS Purcell unit available now. Would it be better to move this way, or buy a new DAC entirely and replace my 360s? If I did replace my DAC which type would you recomend a group 1 or 2? Do you consider ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I was wondering where Levinson digital would fit in with all these. I own a 31.5 and 360s which are the best that I've ever experienced and am curious where they might fit in. I confess to not heard any of the latest contenders as there are no dea... | |
| Need advice on subwoofer I think the new Revel Sub 30s are awesome. However I think more depends on the subs setup and integration than you suspect. From what I've learned an experienced acoustic tech with serious testing equipment is a necessity if one is going to get th... | |
| Johnny Cash cd's Folsom Prison is excellent. Get the new remastered version. Any of the American recording 1,2,3,4 are superb values with interesting songs and sound great. The American box set is also a great value especially since it includes Johnny's hymn book. | |
| Need some help picking a subwoofer Try the Revel Sub 30. This thing is superb with the correct setup. Speaking of which, in my experience unless you have someone who can use instruments to set up the sub with your system you'll never get out of it what you paid for it. But once so ... | |
| Tip for Levinson owners I use cable elevators to keep my links off the ground about 8 inches and haven't noticed a problem. I'll try disconecting them though. | |
| HDCD'S Microsoft bought the HDCD technology, and has done nothing with it as far as marketing to studios, etc. I fear HDCD will disappear even though the discs sound excellent. Try Wrecking Ball by Emmylou Harris. I go out of my way to find encoded discs... | |
| Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it I agree. Corner loading of subs for music sounds awful. Multiple subs sound much better than one! I use Revel Sub 30s. | |
| FIM / First Impression Music I just bought a CD from them through an Audiogon auction. The transaction took place without a hitch and the product was delivered well packaged as promised. I planned on buying more as titles I want become available. I would say in my experience ... | |
| Best isolation device Vibrapods and Vibracones work great with glass shelves. Go to Vibrapod.com and check out the Vibrapod sandwich. | |

| Best feets/base for my Arcam Dv 88 Plus. I like the combo of Vibrapods and Vibracones used in the Vibrapod sandwich mode. The type and number of pods depends on the weight of your components and can be tuned by ear. Follow the Vibrapod guidelines at Vibrapod.com and you'll get great resu... |
