| Quad ESL 2805 or Avantgarde uno Horn? Avantgarde sounds very good too but their presentation is very different than QUADs. Horn speakers are very details and it will expose any weakness from your equipment so you must use very good equipments in the whole signal chain. By the way, hor... | |
| ARC Ref 110 vs. Ref 210 You have a relatively large room in your new house so 210 may be a better choice if you need more power to drive the speakers. If you have a smaller room then 110 would be a better choice. Happy listening!! | |
| ML Aerius or SL3's? SL3 no questions about this!! I own a pair of SL3 for almost 9 years and I still don't have an upgrade itch yet without paying big bucks for replacement such as B&W 801D, Wilson Watt, Sound Labs M1 and etc. I use AR VT100 MK3 to drive them and... | |
| levinson lexus sound? With all the road, wind, engine, transmission and tire noise, why would someone spend that type of money on a car system??? I just don't get it. My friend has Lexus LS430 with levison system in it. It sounds good to me when the car is park in the ... | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms I wonder if Rauliruegas really has the time to listen all his analogue set up. Just from the pictures, I counted 3 TT X 14 arms X 18 cartridges X 5 hours per combination = 3780 listening hours!!! Just one set up per day for 5 hours will take 756 d... | |
| Audio Technica ATP 12T tonearm Keep the AT arm if it is not damaged. This arm is better than a lot of current mid to low price range arms, like Rega 250-300. The only thing you need is to spend a reasonable amount to get a good tone arm cable. I have AT1005 mk2 on my AR "the tu... | |
| Should I keep an Adcom GFP-750 or go integrated? I suggest you try one of the new class D mono-block like NuForce or Acoustic Reality with the 750 pre-amp. My friend has Adcom 750 to drive a pair or ML333 and the sound is excellent even when we placed the ML39 demon unit from the dealer which Ad... | |
| Bi-amping Question? My friend set up has bi-amp his B&W 801 with 2 ML333s, the initial improvement seems to be small but we both agreed that once we heard the bi-amp set up for awhile that we can't go back to single amp set up any more. We found the sound does no... | |
| Recommended Speakers with Krell 450Mcx Mono Amps? Try B&W N801D or 800D, used around 12K-15K. My friend use a pair of ML 333 amps to drive his N801 and the sound is very close to real, capable to play very loud without strain and very details without smear. Happy listening. | |
| Audio Technica AT1100 How Good is it I have AT1005 it is definitely better than some OEM arms such as AR EB101 OEM arm and Rega 250. In general, AT arms feel very good in quality in the same league as SME.Happy listening!!Tin Man | |
| what is the best amp for B&W 802N My friend uses a pair of ML 333 to drive his N801 (bi-amp), and it is the best sounding system I have ever heard approaching life music able to play real loud without strain like with single 333 amp. With this said, you can throw as much "good" po... | |
| Bi-amping overkill? If you speakers have the headroom to play loud without distortion then bi-amp makes a big different. My friend installed a second Mark Levinson 333 to drive his B&W 801Ns and never look back. Bi-amp makes a hugh different in terms of dynamic a... | |
| AR Turntable ToneArm Dogeatpuppy, where did you find the new arm board and get it drilled? Thank you for all your feedback. | |
| help me pick a phono preamp. You should consider Grado phono pre-amp since you are using Grado cartridge already. Otherwise Audio Research PH3 and Dynavector P75 would be a good choice but Dynavector is harder to find. Good listening. | |
| Krell Reliability? I have Krell 300i for 5 years driving ML SL3 and nothing required Krell to fix. I will say their build quality is above norm. As for you problems, your local dealer should take care of the problem themshelves, unless you purchased the Krell throug... |
