| Ayre Monoblocks vs. Linn Klimax Solo 500s I have heard them both just not at the same time to do a fair AB comparison. However I can say that the Ayre caught me with much more impact than I ever remember getting out of the Linn. The local dealer sells both and it would be interesting to d... | |
| VPI ScoutMaster or Project RM10 I would go with VPI for the following: Upgradeable, Parts easily obtainable, sound quality, american made, resale value will be higher.All one mans opinion, others may disagree. | |
| Mcintosh ms300 sound quality? I heard it at the Rky Mtn Audio Fest and thought it sounded great. It is just digital storage. The Mc rep had a lot of music and I always had to look to see if it was the CDP or the 300. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters? Has it happend on both speakers or just one? I had a problem years ago with JBL and it turned out to be the crossover. It was just one speaker. Contact Wilson they should be willing to help you out. | |
| Amps and Quatros Thank you for the correction. As a native and resident of the ROCKY MTN region we have no semblance to Iraq. I was ta the show and thought that the Ayre Mono's sounded great with the Quattros. I have also heard them with the V1 Ayre and had no com... | |
| Hail to Mcintosh I must chime in here as well. I have and continue to own Mc gear. I realize that I may be missing something by not having other amps or pre amps but I would be missing something as well with the other brands as well. That would be the Mcintosh sou... | |
| Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ? Take a look er a listen of the new Rega MC Cartridge. I heard it the other day and am waiting for the dealer to break it in so I can try it at home. Very good first impression. | |
| Cardas Cross vs Analysis Plus Copper Oval IC Do a in home AB comparision. This is the only way you can be sure. It was the AB comp that got me hooked on Cardas in the first place. | |
| Best affordable phono preamp? For half that money look at the Ayre. I tried one and it does an outstanding job. So spend 2300 on it and 2700 on vinyl. | |
| Sticky tonearm lifter on old Rega TT Sounds like from your description that something got askew either by impact or mfgs. defect. I would contact the distributer and see if there are any parts available that you can rebuild the lift mechanism. If not force it down out of "arms way" a... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I love the vinyl sound. In my opinion we hear in analog and vinyl never leaves that domain. I also love the convenience of CD's. I think it all comes down to how much you are willing to spend on either format in equipment to maximize playback qual... | |
| best cd player redardless of price I agree before I plopped down 28K it would be in my system for at least a weekend. Operative word is "extra 28K" which I serioulsy doubt I will ever have in my budget...unless I get the right 6 balls to come in lotto.As far as value there are bett... | |
| best cd player redardless of price The Naim 555! I listend the other day at the dealer and we did an A-B comp with a cheaper Naim and all I can say I wish I had an extra 28K sitting around. | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? I agree w/Muzikat with one exception. I would do speakers last. Once you have the front end set the you can in-home the speakers that best match you front end. What is your budget on the CDP? | |
| Velodyne DD-15 setup question No 60 is as low as my pre-pro permits. I would love to have that option though. |
