ML 38s or ML 380s or my SFrontiers SL3?
Just so you know, we are talking about the 380S not the 38S. The 380S is in a whole different world and the review tells you that. I haven't heard much better solid state preamps than the 380S and yes I have heard the Klyne and the Threshold and t... 
ML 38s or ML 380s or my SFrontiers SL3?
I think you should go for the 380S as it's pretty much a tube sounding solid state preamp. Have you ever read the review from Fi magazine on this 380S? I have a copy and can mail you the review free. The bass will be better, it will be quieter, no... 
How To Improve B&W N802 Bass Response?
These speakers do not require a ton of power just a decent amount of power. I should know as I own a pair, do you own a pair? B&W speakers have always sounded Liquid and dynamic as well as highly resolving. Krell, ARC, Bryston, among others ar... 
How To Improve B&W N802 Bass Response?
Weak bass is not a inherent characteristic of the 802. The N802 needs to be broken in longer and mated with a high quality power amp. Judy426 is doing the usual B&W bashing. Folks, just ignore any of Judy426 words because I feel for the way sh... 
Looking for a good tuner with AM too
Get a Onkyo T-4711. The best tuner I ever owned and it's remote controlled with RDS and AM. I own three of them. 
Somebody Help Convert me to tubes
I know this isn't really the kind of answer your looking for, but if I were you I would go to the Madrigal website and read the review on the 380S by Larry Alan Kay very carefully. I think after reading this review you might consider upgrading you... 
I am thinking of buying a new preamp levinson 320s
The 380S is also an exceptionally clear and transparent preamp. I wouldn't say the 320 is any kind of major improvement over the 380S, just different. Go to the Mark Levinson web site and take a look at the huge power supply in the 380S and then l... 
Anybody Heard Tyler Acoustic Woodmeres?
I haven't heard the Tyler's, but the best I ever heard with the most natural sound if you have a good solid state power amp is the Magnepan 20.1 You need to listen to this full range panel before buying a pair of distortion producing cone speaker'... 
Which speaker should I buy? Please help.
If you listen mostly to classical and vocal. there is no speaker I've been more impressed with that does these area's better than the Magnepan 20.1 Forget distortion pushing cone type speaker's, unless you want to compare them against the 20.1's w... 
B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use??
The Classe amps are great with B&W's, very smooth and not harsh at all. I would go with a CA-300, CA-301, but the 400 or 401 will be a little better. I'm using a CA-400 with my B&W N802's and it's terrific. 
Here we go again ... driving B&W N802s
I would recomend going with a used Classe CA-300, Ca-400, Ca-301, or the Ca-401. I'm using a Ca-400 with excellent results on my new N802's. Because of the 802's revealing nature I would stay away from bright sounding anp's and I think the Classe'... 
Full Range Speakers for 4000 or Less?
OK Dr. Ken, I have a good speaker that would I'm sure be perfect for your set up and I really think you should look into it. It's the Allison Model 3 Loudspeaker. ( www.allisonacoustics.com ). Run to your local magazine store and pick up a copy of... 
I have a Denon dvd-5000; it won'd read cd-r's
Your trying to make your DVD play a CDr instead of a DVDr? I'm not sure of the age of your player but chances are that it has dust on the lens. If you can, take out the screws of the unit and just remove the case, nothing else. Look for the lens w... 
What's next for the Magnepan 3.6R
Your absolutely right Mike. Just like the ARC SP-9, I bought the original SP-9 and when ARC came out with the Mk II version I thought the original sounded better, however in Magnepan's case they really did make the 3.6 much better than the old 3.5... 
What's next for the Magnepan 3.6R
Well Plato and Jtinn I finally gave in and bought the 3.6R's. I put them together and had them running since last Thursday night and they sound wonderful. I have them breaking in on a pair of Denon POA-6600 mono blocks until they reach about 400 t...
