Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart
hmm. I don't know. Every review written by Sallie Reynolds in Absolute Sound the Spendor S8e's come out on top against the other speakers he/she is reviewing. I tend to believe those findings since I have extensively auditioned those speakers. Wis... 
Anyone have experience with LP Gear Upgrades to GR
Oh wow. I never seen this offer before. They sell the upgrade kit separately for $89. That looks like its worth it on the surface. I am very tempted to order that kit right now. What I need answers for before ordering is what the upgrades actually... 
The New Dynakit
Wow, these kits sure are low cost! They LOOK like kits. Not as polished as Bottlehead but the intergrated solution sure is alot cheaper route to go. Wonder how good they sound 
help with a lush 50 watt+ amp
Hey. Buy a used MAC amp. Problem solved. People all the time go that route that don't care for the new state of the art sound you can buy today. I bet there are more classic amps that you would fall in love with. More older experienced and knowled... 
Cayin A 88-T integrated:The new King of the Hill?
I would love to have your amp for my sound system. But since my sound system doubles for Home theater and Vinyl using tubes for the amps would be a very bad thing. I guess I will follow the advice given here and check out these SS amps. 
Goldring GR-1.2, NAD 533 -- any difference?
As far as I understand NAD hasn't made their turntables in 7-10 years or so. You can only buy them used. Definately modeled off the old Rega build from pre-2000. 
Goldring GR-1.2, NAD 533 -- any difference?
One problem with your plan Mbrooker. The old NAD turntables used the old style pre-2000 rega motor mounts. Thats a bad thing. Rega finnally admitted their poor design and upgraded the motor and mount in 2000. Warbled speed variations is one such p... 
Goldring GR-1.2, NAD 533 -- any difference?
I own a Goldrin GR1.2 and did a review on it over at AudioAsylum. Its a great table for the money. The arm base is quite differant. It uses the RegaP9 3 point mounting method. Much more stable and rigid. But, unfortunately, its plastic. As far as ... 
Sonus Faber Dominus Grand Piano vs Usher 6831/6731
Hello AudioOracle. Good to hear you chime in with your experience. I don't beleive my local dealer has as much experience with these ushers as you do because his showroom isn't open yet. Speakers are in warehouse. So I took a chance and my bet won... 
Sonus Faber Dominus Grand Piano vs Usher 6831/6731

Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD
Well, it is a matter of value. People are right that US made things are usually over priced. With gas prices souring to $6 a gallon by the end of the year no one can afford to spend money on audio. Only the well-healed cliental is what CES2006 tar... 
Sonus Faber Dominus Grand Piano vs Usher 6831/6731
I have a question about the usher cp 6371. It states that the max power handling is 120watts at 4ohms. So I can't use a powerfull amp? Right now I am using a Rotel 5x100 amp. I want to upgrade to a better ss amp for home theater use and vinyl musi... 
Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD
I for one can say they make great speakers. Usher Audio.I only had under $3000 to buy a new set of speakers for a very large room and nothing under $3000 could beat the Usher CP 6371 speakers. These monsters sound as good and alot better than othe... 
Sonus Faber Dominus Grand Piano vs Usher 6831/6731
Thank you for the advise. When I am ready to get a better amp this summer I will have to do some serious research till then. Right now I have no clue which amps will be compadable with these speakers. Since they double as home theater and my vinyl...

My room is 25'x30' and have the Usher 6371 speakers. Mine are placed 30" from back wall and have no side walls. Wide room :) Have them placed about 8' apart. They are now spiked and leadshot filled. Now that I got to live with them in that spot fo...
