| Power Amp for Magnepan MG 20.1's Agree with Mac . Iv'e heard the 20.1's in many different systems , The Pass Labs XA160.5's were the only amps that made 20.1's sound right , to me .In all honesty I don't think you'll hear what the 20.1's have to offer with an amp anywhere near th... | |
| Audio Research DS 450 amp......thoughts How many class D amps do you need to hear before making a statement about there sound . I don't like the principle either but the three iv'e listened to are not enough to judge a technology on . I thought the DS 450's sounded quite good considerin... | |
| Warm CD player for older CDs with digital glare? I use a Levinson DAC for taming down hard sounding disc's . In fact I use it most of the time that way . | |
| 'Doing All Right' One for the Diana Krall fans Thanks for the tip Scouse . I buy all her JAZZ stuff . Stonking good . | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner I have used Shunyadas's top power cords for a while with stunning results , but there interconnects seem over priced on a performance per dollar basis . | |
| REF 3 In My System? We have talked about evolution and convergence of tube and solid state designs and there effect on tubes , but what about the effect this has had on solid state . Let me start by explaining why I traded my beloved ARC REF 3 preamp for the Ayre MX-... | |
| REF 3 In My System? I agree , if your going to built tube amps , why not build them to sound like tube amps . Is the lessoning of tube sound partially do to the never ending search for neutrality and perfect balance ? | |
| REF 3 In My System? ARC CD8 , ARC Ref 110 power amp , Nola viper Ref 3 speakers . Tried two different speaker cables first was MIT O2 and Cardas , don't recall the model . | |
| REF 3 In My System? Sure . We felt the REF 3 had a rounder, fuller sound , some might say better coherence , the 27 seemed to have better depth but not better image specificity . The REF 3 also had more of that liquid presentation that tube lovers obsess over , I fel... | |
| REF 3 In My System? Of coarse ARC , there are trying to sell LS27's not the discontinued REF 3 . I've heard both back to back in a familiar system , have you ? | |
| REF 3 In My System? " The LS27 is touted to sound better than the Ref 3 " . By who ? | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s I use a Levinson #431 with my Salons with good results , but the Simaudio / Revel mix seems to be a match made in heaven , the W8 or W7 would be my choice . | |
| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? Fully balanced is always best , ( balanced in and out ) but as Kal mentioned there is still noise reduction with each balanced cable used . I have A/B/A tested this many times over the years and in many , many systems and the results are always th... | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Sam ... Thanks for that link , it was excellent . Also had a look at your system link also excellent . | |
| Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much? I was also brought up on the clicks and pops of vinyl not to mention other anomalies . But once CD players and DAC's improved I became less tolerant of these issues . Eventually I parted with my analog rig , no regrets . |
