Is the NAD 3020 the best value of all time?
Nice, you have to love it when that happens. I set a friend up with a NAD 320BEE and a Pair of the EPOS ELS-3's. The combination was fantastic and all for $450.00! Anyway, that is just one example but you can make your $$$ go along way performance...

Dan,It sounds like you might be a good candidate for JM lab speakers. See if you can audition some.Chris 
Help-IC's needed AU or AQ
I upgraded recently from the AQ Volcano and Anancoda combo to all Audience Au24. The Au24 in my system was in a league of its own above and beyond the AQ. I have heard the Sky and it is nice. Compared to the Cheetah though, the A24 should be a bet... 
Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables
I am not a Nordost fan either and use nothing BUT tube gear. Their cables just do not sound right and in my opinion, lack musicality. I would agree with Judy on this one 100%. Yes, I do own Au24 after trying numerous upon numerous cables. Chris 
Reliability of Cary Audio Products
My Cary SLI-80 Signature has been spot on for years now. No issues and I love the amplifier. I owned a Cary 308 for about 6 months but upgraded. No issues during my ownership. I have several friends with Cary Amps (SEI and a SLI-50) who have had Z... 
Thiel 1.6's or Quad 22L's ? Opinions Please.
Narrod is right. The Rotel and Thiels will be a bright combo. I would say beyond Lively. If you are keeping that amp, I would suggest the Quads. Friends don't let friends have Bright systems...Happy Holidays! Chris 
Power Cords
The Power Cord that just blew me away was a Shunyata Black Mamba. I now use Audience Powerchords on my Integrated Amp and CD player. You take them away and something is missing. Power cords make a nice improvement in most applications.. Give them ... 
tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802
Krellm7,Larger companies do not always make better products. Various companies like Totem, Krell, Sonus Faber, Silverline, Joseph, and many more use drivers and tweeters manufactured by other companies like ScanSpeak, Seas, and Dynaudio just to na... 
Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
Very nice~ I have never read anything negative on this unit. Would sure like to hear it.. Enjoy! Chris 
UPS is paying my claim
Chalk one up for the good guys.. Congrats.Chris 
Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
Mike,Agreed at retail price but my friend paid $170.00 for a .5 meter pair of Audience Au24. The 2 feet of Silver Resolution was $140.00. So a $30.00 difference for superior performance? Sure doesn't sound that much more expensive to me. Does it t... 
Burned out hi fi salesman
Cinematic Systems aka DougSweet Web Site! It really is hotlick! Did you do that yourself? www.cinematicsystems.netI live in Northern VA and have never heard of your company. Good luck competing with JS Audio, Soundworks, Sound Images and Tweeter..... 
Burned out hi fi salesman
Cinematic Systems,You are a salty fellow but made a couple of valid points.. If read my statement, the 5% applied to a certain level of equipmenet. Apples to apples. Sorry you don't like the Sonus Faber stuff. I personally am not crazy about the D... 
Burned out hi fi salesman
Yep, I agree on the 5% thing too once you get to a certain level of gear. When I ran a High End Store, I would sometimes go Months without owning a system as I was never home. I was always at the store and could listen to whatever I wanted. It is ...
