| Replacing TT with CD Consider the Muse Thalia 9 for a good taste of what a one box player is capable of. I think you may be shocked with the performance of this player. I sold my Basis and picked up the Muse and have no qualms about it. True, the analog machines (TT) ... | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? Hassle free tube amp David Berning ZH-270, tube life is an estimated 20 years and biasing is done automatically on a cycle by cycle basis. The tube life was not a concern but more a bonus, I purchased the amp for its superb sonics.I use a tube pre... | |
| Is there anything to match a Naim CDSII? Muse Thalia 9 is possibly the best overall single box player I have heard thus far. It has a wonderfully layered, spacious presentation and does a superb job rendering timbre and tonality. Highs are extended and free from any digital glare or hars... | |
| Need help with a pair of small speakers Jean Marie Reynaud Twinn Mk II ($650 used or so), astounding sound, musical, accurate and sound very good with all sorts of music. I've owned Harbeths HL7ES MKII as well, true they are better all the way around but cost much more accordingly. For ... | |
| Best Kept Speaker Secret? Tweekerman, with the right amp even 70W can be enough for Soundlabs. I am using a Berning 270 with mine with excellent results and have very good BASS; (no softy bass either) no extra sub required in this room let me assure you :)I agree that elec... | |
| Best Kept Speaker Secret? Used full-range Soundlab or Acoustat 2+2 and professional series, maybe used Martin Logan CLS2z's also. They are all tremendous bargains in the used market, at least for the right person ready to accomodate larger speakers. Properly set up, a good... | |
| Vinyl to Digital Recently I sold my Basis 1400 in favor of a Muse Thalia 9 v1, this was as a result of a series frustrations I experienced with the turntable. True, I have hundreds of cd's and had aquired only about 50 or so LP's at the time of the departure of th... | |
| Choral music with soulful rythum and energy Thanks for the scheduale, the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall is in the Washington area then I assume. I'll check the website for more details. Yes, I should really research the Chicagoland area for choral events, I'm sure I have been missing out on alot ... | |
| Choral music with soulful rythum and energy That sounds like a great disk Sugarbrie, thanks for the suggestion. Where does your choir usually perform? I've always wanted to attend a live choral performance, I think that would be tremendous. It would be worth the trip out east for the occasi... | |
| Choral music with soulful rythum and energy I know there are many killer choral recordings out there which are not all classical, not that there is anything wrong with the traditional but what interests me more are the folk tunes and gospel hymns that have a ton of soul and energy. Stuff th... | |

| Hi-end DVD/CD Machine vs. Hi-end CD Player/Transpo In regards to the Muse Thalia Nine v1, I can vouge for its qualities as a two channel music making machine. Currently, it is being used in my system with no intentions of ever being put to use for DVD video playback. In fact, I purchased this unit... | |
| Reynaud's Evolution 3 speaker.---Rave or Rag It ? The Jean Marie Reynaud products that I have heard sound very good, in fact I regard them as some of the best dynamic loudspeakers I have personally had the pleasure of hearing. Admittedly, I have not heard the Evolution 3 in question but have spen... | |
| What is good speaker match for Rowland 112 Amp ??? We should be aware of the rest of the components in your system before making suggestions, this would be helpful. I feel that the wrong cables, whether silver or copper can make things much worse. Some copper cables sound brighter than others and ... | |
