| $1000 upgrade budget- cdp or speaker? I applaud the speaker-first camp, a good debate needs camps. Sure the speakers have an enormous effect, and there is great variation between speakers. You have to find speakers you like, not speakers that are just highly-rated. Also, speaker desig... | |
| Best Speaker Choices For Nearfield Listening I too think Kitty Kats might work very well for you. I heard them at the Montreal show a few days ago and I am considering them to replace my floorstanders. George Short also makes a model one step down from the KKs, the Okara II/Spirit. He is a v... | |
| $1000 upgrade budget- cdp or speaker? I would go for a CDP now too. Yes to the Apollo and Cary, also Shanling. | |
| Rawson Resale...... Wwoof01, I have to guess why you posted in the way you did. You ask about a phenomenon that is apparent only to yourself. Do you even know exactly why you asked?I think you are wondering if the number of deals involving Rawson amps on AudiogN mean... | |

He is very knowledgeable and friendly, he has helped me several times and once saved me from making a big mistake. ... | |
| amp or preamp..what should i keep? I have limited experience with Paradigm speakers. My two sons each have a pair of Titans, and the Titans are balanced the way you describe them. Vocals take a back seat because the midrange is depressed compared with the frequency extremes.You can... | |
| amp or preamp..what should i keep? Your amp and preamp have good reputations, and one poster says they should be a good match. Others who know these electronics well are welcome to correct me, but if you are not satisfied with your sound I would not look to the amp and preamp mysel... | |
| JAS Speakers Have listened for hours to the Orsus and Odin, maybe an hour to the Orior. Would like to hear the Orior Grande because I loved the Orior. The Odin has one woofer more than the Orior Grande, and IMO a bit more bass than I need in my room. The Accut... | |
| Speakers that have wide horizontal dispersion A conventional speaker that throws a wide soundstage is the Triangle line from France. | |
| Used CD player for 200-300 I have a NAD 541 which has in the past skipped on a CD-R disc. Cleaning the lens with a cleaning disc--the kind with little brushes glued on the business side--fixed the problem.The 541 is known for this particular foible, which the 541i was intro... |
