| Clearaudio Concept carts You should find out what if the compliance of the tonearm and match the cartridge to that number. You can google some of the turntable set up sites and use their calculators to figure this out. I had a Koetsu Rosewood Signature on a SME V and it s... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous All these naysayers to vinyl. The fad guy it is like breeding labordoodles do not even have a clue. When I put on a vinyl record my system has a sound that is purely awesome. My digital front end sound very very good but not even close to the awes... | |
| Any one know the file limitations in Ayrewave? I have had really bad luck with Arye Wave. It is that crash player. It locked up my mac mini and I had to re-load everything. Use Amara or Pure Music. My music server life has been much better with out it on my machine! TOO TOO Buggy! | |
| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? In response to Docks's comment. I have heard all of those speakers in question and all are fine products. I would not pass on the B&Ws or any of those speakers you mentioned with out listening to them over an extended period of time. Spend an ... | |
| Speaker cable made in USA? Purist Audio Designs. Great Sound, Great People, Great Customer Service! | |
| Krell EVO 302 or 302e I have tried both brands. Both brands sound good but if you like your XA 30.5 you will not like the sound of the Krell. The Krell sound is a bit dry for my taste. I have a Pass Labs X350.5 and did have a Krell EVO 302 and 402 in my home for evalua... | |
| Dodd Phono Pre Amp or Eastern Electric Mini max Get the Dodd Audio. It is a killer phono amp. Quiet, Lots of drive, Great Sound Stage! Awesome bass.! | |
| B&W 802 Diamond or 800 Nautilus Keep your 802N you can do some work on the crossover and have a better speaker. I like Nuatilus speakers better due to the paper cone. I am not a fan of the Rohacel. I do like the Daimond tweeter, but with better crosser and internal wire you can ... | |
| Hafler DH-200 Toasting speakers You should always check the DC offset with a multi meter before you hook up an amp that has sat for while. The first amp was on its way out before it took out your speakers. That vintage of amp should probably be re-capped & re-biased before y... | |
| AMPLIFIER HELP I have a set of Heresys in my second system and they do sound best with a tube amp. But if you want solid state I would recommend the Forte Model 4A or any of the early Pass Labs lower power class A amps (Aleph series). The First Watt stuff also w... | |
| Krell-Where's the BASS Which speakers do you have? What is the size of your room? and where are speakers placed in relation to the walls?. Which pre-amp and input source are you using? What are your cables like? I hate to ask all these questions? If you email me your nu... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari amp: X600.5 or X1000.5 ? I have a X350.5 and love the sound. My friend has a set of X600.5 and a new set of XA160.5s. I would buy a set of XA160.5. Sonically the and power wise the XA160.5s are way better. I have heard a set X1000.5 and they are just OK. The X600.5s sonic... | |
| Aragon 4004 MK II Killer amp. I do not know if it is a good match for your Vienna Acoustics. I have owned a couple of the 4004 MKII in the past and have regretted selling them. If it is in good clean condition buy it and try it. If it does not match with your speak... | |
| New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881? Not all high end is a rip off. Most of it is. Unfortunately we are seeing more of the rip off than we have in the past. I think there are companies that build real high quality equipment at many different price ranges. I happend to own a lot of Pa... | |
| Class D amps and Revel Salons The only Class D amps I have heard that sound good are the ones that have a huge linear power power supply(traditional. If you do class D go to the DODD Audio Website. I have heard Gary's digital offerings and they sound exceptional and so do the ... |
