| Plinius warm-up I have an 8100 and I leave it on all the time. I feel that Plinius, more than anything else I own, needs time to warm up and since I listen a lot, I just always leave it on. | |
| Can B&W Nautilus accept spades? Or Bananas only? I say find another dealer if you can, if they do not know that one of their main speaker lines, B&W speakers, accept spades, bananas and bare wire, then I would not want to give them my 1700-10000 dollars. Remember when buying from a dealer, y... | |
| Need advice: Integrated amp for BW 804s I would suggest the Plinius 8200 or the Sim Audio I-5. I had both with the nautilus 805s and I found them both to be MUCH better than Krell. Krell KAV stuff just is not as good as their higher end stuff, stay away from Krell at the lower end. | |
| Best 40 watt SET integrated for about $3500 I have heard good things about the Bel Canto integrated, you might want to give a listen to that. | |
| Plinius 8200 v. Musical Fidelity Tri. v. SimI5 You're in luck, I have had owned the I-5, Plinius and Nu-Vista which is very similar to the Tri-Vista. All three are very good amps. I still have the Plinius and MF and think that the Nu-Vista is the best of the three. If I had to rank them, I wou... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for the money I own both the Plinius and the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista and really feel that the MF is in a different league. I do love the Plinius, I mean I own it, but the Musical Fidelity does everything the Plinius does and then some. Refinement, detail, sou... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for the money Stick with the musical fidelity and go with either the Nu-Vista or Tri-Vista Integrated. | |
| OK to leave tube cd player on 24/7?? I have heard that nu-vista tubes are supposed to last for 100,000 hours, this is the equivalent of 11.4 years. I have a nu-vista as well and leave it on 24/7. I figure that in 11 years I probably won't have it anymore anyway, hope this helps | |
| JM Lab Mini Utopia driven by Plinius 8200MKII I have tried my mini's with a plinius 8100 and it is a very nice combo. Although my main system has the MF Nu-vista M3 and I feel that it is a big upgrade over the plinius. If you can get one for 3000-3500 used then I would go for it. Good Luck! | |
| Read My List I would recommend both the Sim I-5 and the Plinius 8100, both great amps that I have owned and will be better than any other amp in the bunch except possibly the Unico. Good luck. | |
| Best cables for jm lab micro utopias I used to have Tara Labs with my Mini Utopias and then switched to Acoustic Zen Hologram. Great cable, much more detailed and musical then the Tara Labs ever were. By the way, the Tara Lab were the 1600 reference bi-wire. The AZ Holograms are only... | |
| Anybody hear of Jack Johnson? Yeah, Jack Johnson is very popular with the college crowds. A friend of mine just recently saw him at UCSB. If you like this type of music, listen to John Mayer, similar stuff but better, at least in my opinion! | |
| What are the best live acts? How about Dave Matthews Band and Counting Crows, they both put on great live shows! | |
| Matching b&w 602 s3's to a NAD t752? The 602's are good speakers for the price, but sometimes can be a bit bright. Probably what is happening right now is that the top end on the speakers are not broken in yet. I had a pair of nautilus 805s and they took about 500 hours to break in. ... | |
