| Best preamp for Cary 805C monos I haven't heard the Cary 805C monos, unfortunately, but I do own a Cary SLP98 & love it........ | |
| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat I have a pr. of Spendor S3/5 SE's that i bought for $750 used on A'gon. They're truly "high end" speakers, IMO, & blow away B&W's in their price range. | |
| Should I try to upgrade or scrap it all What about a used Meridian CDP, either a 506 or 508. Extremely musical CDP's. They should be very affordable used by now. | |
| buying today,need your thoughts I haven't heard N803's, but I have owned several B&W speakers, including M802's. I remember the review in TAS when the N803's first came out; they mentioned that they weren't at their best when played really loud.........Also, I don't know you... | |
| Advice on Cary CD Players or other options. I have owned a Cary 303-200 CDP for about 2 years; using it with a Cary SLP-98 pre-amp. They are 2 of the best components I've ever owned. I don't think you can go "wrong" with a 303-200, or almost any Cary gear, for that matter. | |
| Any WGBH FM radio listeners in S. Maine or Vermont Thanks for all the info.......it sounds encouraging. (If I were more knowledgeable about FM reception, antennas, etc., I'd have more of an idea about the distance issue). I am checking out APS antennas also.I wonder if I could get a Tivoli radio, ... | |
| Power Up the System - What Do You Do? As a couple of others mentioned, this sounds like a truly bad idea (to me). A lot of dealers will say almost anything to justify whatever they're doing at the time; I've seen audio salesmen destroy cartridges, power amps, etc. because of ignorance... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 I'm wondering how it compares to the Mcintosh MC402? (400wpc; price $5100. Rave review in TAS 147). A Mccormack at $7000; or a Mac (with the beautiful build quality, looks, etc.) at $5100.......hmmmm. I like Mccormack gear, but for $7K, it would b... | |
| Do Any High End Speakers Boogie/Rock? BW 804 Blues >>I'm not interested in endless tweaking of cables/amplifiers/source to try to get these revealing speakers to sound good on a majority of my music collection>>You haven't told us anything about your amp, pre-amp, source, etc. What oth... | |
| If you had $500 to spend, how would you spend it? W/O knowing your specific TT or cartridge, here is my 2 cents:Don't do 1,2,3,5, or 6. Your TT & cartridge may be maxed out given the $$ invested, & (maybe) the only way to seriously upgrade is to sell it & start over. But, If you can g... | |
| For philes who have spendor or know spendor I own a pair of S3/5 SE's. To date they're my favorite 2 way monitors (& I've owned Merlins, a couple of different B&W's, etc.). I have mine placed 1 ft. from a wall in a 10x11 ft room--they are awesome, with amazing bass, resolution, etc.... | |
| Best way to ship small value items--US to Canada?? Thanks for all the advice! Today I mailed the item USPS Airmail for about $3. One tiny form to fill out. My next question may be: what is best way to accept international payments (other than paypal); esp. to Canada, but I'll probably do a separat... | |
| Pass X150 or CJ MF 2500,,, The C-J MF 2500 has a lot more power than the X150, correct? I have the 2500A, my all-around favorite amp so far that I've owned. I also have a MF 2250 (non-A) that is a great little amp as well. These can both be great deals on the used market ri... | |
| Best used SS 100 - 150wpc for a grand or less? McCormack DNA-1. Or check out used C-J MF series amps--a lot of amp for the $$..... | |
| Krell KAV 300i. Solution to keep the RCA caps on ? My solution was to sell my 300i. My system is much improved :-) |
