| Need help with preamp choice... I highly recommend PS Audio GCP/GCPS. Gain Cells as volume controls are very innovative, resolving known issues with conventional volume controls. It is extremely flexible, offering SE and XLR I/Os. It also has polarity control (although it is mis... | |
| Best speakers under $2000 to match with a SET amp? THe problem with most speakers is they need to be well out into the room (think 1/3) to breath.You might look at maggies small wall mounts. I think you can buy them direct with a one years trade up I THINK | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? I have tried numerous versions of both. I much prefer a solid floor-stander with a narrow width, unless you can find a monitor that bolts to the base. I currently own Usher 6311 (see auction) and 6371s. I also have Maggie 3.5Rs which I am now usin... | |
| Best player for Poorly Recorded redbook CDs? I have been around the cutting edge of really good CD playback for some time. My last CD player was the vaunted Lector CD-7T, which I replaced with a Bluenote Stibbert. It does a really good job of playing poorly recorded discs (like Annie Lennox ... | |
| Best CD player money can buy ? MBL, Nagra, Naim? Memory Player | |
| What to buy Run don't walk to Usher. They're somewhere in Texas. Tell'em Robert Hart sent you. | |
| intergrated for rock and dance and blues Best way to hear rock is with a muscle solid state amp like the BVaudio A300S. I am a dealer and can get you a demo unit for under $1500. | |
| What Pre amp to use Look for a used BVaudio P1, an excellent choice. Also you made no mention of power conditioning- very important! | |
| Balanced power line conditioners use with CJ We have used both with a wide variety of ss and tube amps, just not the ones you mentioned. We prefer to sell the BPT. | |
| Please help with choosing speakers I have a large room and 6 ft tall speakers in a sub/sat set up. The sound is awesome, but I don't like the way the towers cut up my living space. As good as 3.6s are, they suffer from the same issue that all "full range" speakers suffer, which is ... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC Perhaps yes, perhaps no. You see when you separate transport and dac you introduce "jitter". You also introduce a number of other issues, like; power cords, additional shelving, proper isolation, cabling. Any one of these can take an otherwise gre... | |
| Pioneer PD65 needs a DAC I am using a Musical Concepts Epoch V moded PD65. If the soundstage was deeper, I would not even consider a DAC. The Stello 220DAC (upsamples to 192?) just got an excellent review in Soundstage emag. MSRP is a mere $1195. I am waiting for the next... | |
| Which amp for B&W 703s I spent some time evaluating the 703s, and left unconvinced. Check out the reviews for the Usher new 6 series. Great review at AV Monthly | |
| Xindak SCD-2 Mods I may be able to help with getting SCD-2s moded. COntact me next month, the guy is on a long vacation. | |
| Xindac SACD 2 recomend a DAC I have owned the SCD-2 for over a year. I found the stock SACD playback to be excellent in my system, which is over $30K, including Nearfield 924 loudspeakers, which are highly revealing. About 6 months ago I had it moded. This improved both SACD ... |
