| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Yeah, I have no doubt you heard what you heard, but it's kinda strange that the Boulder sounded that flat out bad. Does make me wonder if it had an issue of some type. | |
| Pricing a Linn CD player that's not in the Bluebook Sucks for CD12 owners. | |
| Where do I go from here? Just to be clear, you’d still be using the Marantz for HT (and multichannel music) duties, it just wouldn’t be involved in critical 2-channel music duties. Well, I’ll weigh in with my own personal experience, which is why I responded to this post ... | |
| Where do I go from here? @auxinput -- The tweeter wasn’t really the issue or stated as being more pronounced. In this case the entire soundstage presentation appeared more right in front and visceral -- much like sitting in the first row of a performance.@wisciman99 -- Au... | |
| Where do I go from here? After reading some reviews it sounds like the ML Motion series may be geared to be more of a "front row" perspective rather than further back, so meaningfully increasing depth of stage may not be in the cards. Apparently pulling them out further i... | |
| Leave preamp on all day, off at night Are the tubes powered when ARC is used in bypass mode? | |

| Interconnects and non-believers +1 @geoffkait Use your ears (they are the ultimate measuring device) and open your mind. If you still don't hear a difference then congrats -- you'll save a bundle. | |
| Interconnects and non-believers So elizabeth, you like audio and cars. Next you'll tell us you dig sports. I'm starting to believe you don't really exist. | |

| Where do I go from here? Before doing anything else, listen in stereo to one of your better recorded tracks that inherently has good broad and deep soundstaging. Now try pulling your speakers out another foot (don’t worry about what it looks like for now) and about 6' apa... | |
| Where do I go from here? Are you talking about 2-channel music too, or just multi-channel listening? | |
| Getting into Tube Equipment I’d recommend giving us more information about what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you. Knowing what type of music you listen to is really just one small part of the puzzle. That said, and taking a stab in the dark, it’s hard ... | |

| New Amps to match up with PSB T3 speakers So, would you still be looking to upgrade the amps or are you now happy with the way your system sounds (TT noise notwithstanding) with the 21A?What phono pre are you using with the Belles? In reading the Soundstage review of the 21A there was no... |
