| Plinius 8100 vs musical fidelity A3.2 Keep the Plinius. It may be older but it's more sophisticated. If you have the urge to tinker, try a new phono amp or cartridge. | |
| What is the appropriate horsepower (wattage) for a new pair of PSB T2's? Regardless of wattage needs, there are definitely some speakers that benefit from amps with higher current output and/or higher damping factor. I've heard this with two amps demo'd on the same speakers. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @ei001h Currentzis T6 is an adrenalin-rush, the musical equivalent of white-water rafting. I was so carried along/carried away by it, I didn’t really notice those features you mentioned. All that being said, I certainly wouldn’t want it to be the ... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products Their whole corporate ethos changed after Dennis Had left--it's like two different companies, pre- and post- that event. | |

| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing @woodsage For starters, try listening to collected works of Wolfgang Amadeus for 24 hours straight. | |
| Each recording has one right volume level. Sounds like an argument in favor of a return to graphic equalizers.Either that, or a whole new and radical approach to microphone design. | |

| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? Yes, if you cheap out now, you're only going to go back to the well sooner, resulting in an overall expenditure higher than if you had just splurged in the first place.On the other hand, if you suffer from a bad case of a. nervosa, adopting this a... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The recent outpouring of enthusiasm for Rachmaninov inspired me to embark on a run-through of his work. Listening now to symphony no. with Litton, which sounds good to me and seems to get good reviews. Besides Ashkenazy, do you like anyone else?... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Not what I would consider great news:"At launch, the 5000 series will only be available in the United States via six exclusive Yamaha “experience centers,” located throughout the country. These include Abt Electronics and Music Direct in Chicago, ... | |
