| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile The British audio mags seem to have a somewhat more objective take on reviews, often employing blinded comparative listening tests. I doubt that they are purchasing the equipment though. | |
| Any comments on the Classe CAP-100 vs. CAP-101?? The 101 is one better than the 100. That is the only difference. | |
| active or passive? Listening is usually the correct solution to such a question. Unfortunately, it's not always possible unless you live in an area with many high end dealers. The first limitation is that passive preamps do not work well with sources that have a low... | |
| Egads - Changing rooms for the worse... Well, it's decision time for you. You can keep the current girlfriend and buy a Bose Wave radio, or keep your system and find a woman who appreciates good sound and those thick, masculine audio cables! | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Where can we subscribe to these Polish Audio magazines? | |
| musical fidelity trivista sacd player I've owned them both. The Tri-Vista is still here, and several machines better than the SCD-1 have come and gone in the interim. Need I say more? | |
| what is my next move??? I think your have the right ideas. If you don't have to have 5.1 analog inputs, you could go to a 5103 and 5125 setup fairly inexpensively. The Linn DACs would be a significant upgrade for music over the Yamaha player's. Unless your room is really... | |

Larger speakers would understandably improve bass extension, but they could not really improve what is coming from upstream. As well, a dedicated preamp will usually be superior to... | |
| Surge/Power Conditioning For Amplifiers You can easily and cheaply protect your gear from surges by unplugging when it is not in use! Having said this, I admit that I use PS Audio Ultimate Outlets on my amps, but I always unplug when thunderstorms are in the forecast. Your money may be ... | |
| 2 lk-85's or 1 lk-140 I think you need to decide on what speakers you will use before deciding on the amp(s). Aktiv configuration is usually and incredible improvement in an all Linn system. The new line of speakers can be easily Aktiv-configured without opening the bo... | |
| Hum Issues - Rega P-25 w/ Grado Reference Platnum Grado cartridges all hum on Rega turntables as they move toward the center of the record. LP12s do the same, but not quite as much. The Grado cartridges are particularly susceptible to the motors magnetic field. The only solution is to change the... | |
| ikemi or cd23? I've owned the Ikemi, and I auditioned the CD23 before making my decision. To my ears, the Ikemi was the clear winner. The Cd23 has a smooth, warmish sound, but in comparison to the Ikemi, the top was rolled off, the bass and midbass were slow and... |
