| help me settle on a source... Almost 2 years ago, I've sold my Rega Planet 2000 (which I liked a lot at the time), added a few hundred dollars and replaced with a Cary 303-100 (sub-$1,000), and never looked back. It simply beat the Rega in all aspects (from transparency, sound... | |
| Worst remote nomination... Pass Lab X-1 Pre-amp. Small metalic remote and 4 buttons with no word/symbol...nothing. | |
| Advice on Cary CD Players or other options. Like you, I also have a pair of Grand Piano's driven by a VAC Avatar integrated amp with a Cary 303-100, and have been very happy with it. Wide soundstage, authoratative low end, and the dynamic range really make this player sings. Like some of th... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Well, we can read reviews all we want, but if things don't sound right to our ears, they simply don't. Should we second guess ourselves based on reading different good reviews from others with different preferences? Do we have to conform? Guess th... | |

| Looking for speakers less than 1500 used or new What kind of music do you listen to? Do you prefer a warmer/lush/rounder sound, or a more analytical/detail/edgy sound? That would help... | |

| Subwoofer for two channel system With your N802, I wonder how much more bass do you need. But if you really want to try it, you can check out the REL Stadium or Storm. Talk to your local shop and have them loan you the sub for home trial. They should have no problem with it. You ... | |
| sonus faber, vienna acoustics, proac Second with the Sonus Faber. VA would probably be too bright and fatigue for your taste. Try female vocal (especially ones with high highs) on these two speakers using the same gear and you'll pick SFGP. Just for kicks, you can try playing some me... | |
| Power Conditioner for Amps. Do you have a fuse in you amp? | |
| What makes one good amp sound better than another? A good way to try to draw distinction is to audition different amp models under the same brand using same front end gear and softward. e.g. for Musical Fidelity, try the A3.2, then the A308, then the kwp. Different price points, various circuitary... | |
| VAC Avatar vs. VAC Avatar Special Edition Ladderlake,I'm running a pair of Sonus Faber Grand Pianos and a REL Strata sub, with a Cary 303/100 cdp. My dilemma is that for $700, I can get the:- SE version, which I have no idea how good it will be compared to the original- or upgrade to a be... | |
| $800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output Agree with seandtaylor99. I currently run a REL Strata with my Sonus Fabers using a VAC tube integrated amp with great results. Sounds like you are looking for a specific subwoofer output that usually comes with a receiver for home theater. For tw... | |
| Help me spend my $1500, interated or separate? Get the used Musical Fidelity A300 integrated amp. It's SS and a dual-mono with 150wpc. You can pick up a used one here for sub $1k. |
