| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) Used is the way to go! Here is my 2 cents: (1) Sonus Faber Liuto speakers MSRP $5500 can be had for $2100 here on Agon. Great sound on their own but you could add a REL sub and still be under you $3k budget. (2) See if you can find an older Lu... | |
| Tips on dealing with audio dealers John Iconomou @ Audio Salon in Coral Gables FL. is one of the classiest dealers I've ever encountered. He carries ARC and many other fine lines and often has used inventory since he also takes trades! | |

| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Ok, this one will throw you for a loop! Luxman R-117 receiver!!! Read the reviews from the 1980's and early 90's then see if there are any on ebay. Should be about $350-400 now ($1200 new) Absolutely phenomenal amp and preamp section. Grossly ... | |
| help me with a DAC decision please You owe it to your self to hear the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC/PRE for $1895. It does DSD and has a built-in Tidal app. Great sounding DAC and very good preamp. | |

| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Kelly Flint from "Dave's True Story" fits the "mesmerizing" category which most posters seem to emphasize over "unusual". When combining unusual with mesmerizing, I can't believe that in 6 years and 114 posts that no has mentioned Patricia Barber... | |
| Cabasse dealers in the US Thanks! I would appreciate that very much. | |
| REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables. I have a REL G2. I tried connecting it to my McCormack DNA 500 amp in the "standard" manner. It got so hot it shut down my amp. I then determined the DNA 500 is a "differential" amp. I then connected as per REL's instructions for Class D and Diffe... | |
| REL G-2 Question Thanks Erik, you have made me feel a whole lot better! | |
| REL G-2 Question Thanks again Matt. I think you are correct that the problem is not with the sub, even though in talking with REL's engineers they say you should not have to turn down the LFE while in 2 channel mode. Instead, I believe the problem is a "phantom si... | |
| REL G-2 Question Matt,Thanks for chiming in. If I set the Hi Level volume at zero, I can dial up the .1 LFE volume and it adds gain to the sub even though there is no LFE content present. This is in 2 channel mode. It is my understanding that you are supposed to b... | |

| Road Trip Buconero, interesting post. Especially since on 9-2-12 you wrote:"I do wish you success as I love to visit stores like yours, especially to hear speakers, and 'kick the tires', but not buy which I do on line or direct from the distributor".How can... | |
| Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor? It has taken me some time but I finally got fed up with the noise issue and replaced the stock Electroharmonics 6922 with a NOS 1960 Amprex 7308 tube. PROBLEM SOLVED! Not only did the noise completely disappear, the whole soundstage opened up, a v... |
