| New Oasis The jury is still out in my opinion. I am a huge Oasis fan and the new album has some big flaws. Liam's voice is shot, there are no guitar solos, and they inserted silly beatle-esqe sound effects that only the Beatles can do without sounding dumb.... | |
| DVDP recommendation I recently picked up an Arcam DV78 for my two channel system and Panasonic hdtv (crt). I believe the DV79 has HDMT connectivity. Thus far I have been pretty happy with the player. Compared to an original Rega Planet, is is much more vivid but can ... | |
| $800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output take a look at the Creek 5350se. It does not have a subwoofer output but it has two pair of speaker output. You could hook a sub up via the speaker output and turn on both speakers a+b...that would do the trick. i owned a 5350se and it is quite a ... | |
| Primare A10 or Creek 4330 integrated amplifier I owned an A10 for a while and definitely enjoyed it. Some adjectives used by the other postings are warm and smooth which I agree with 100%. The build quality is outstanding and I would definitely recommend it. I moved from the A10 to a Creek 535... | |
| Killer female vocal recordings-show me the light.. One recording I would recommend is Sara Evans - Born to Fly. The production is stunning, possibly the best I have ever heard, honestly. It is classified as country music but give it a shot, I hate country music and actually like the CD alot. This ... | |
| Speakers for Creek 5350SE+Arcam FMJ CD23T Give the Audio Physic Spark III a shot. I am driving them with the 5350se and have been happy for some time now. | |
| Audio Physic & Jeff Rowland I can definitely recommend the Spark III. I own a pair and absolutely love them. Some advice would be not to pair them with "foward" or "bright" equipment. They are capable of some great bass if you pair it with warm equipment. | |
| Rogue 88 Magnum upgrade I just upgraded my 66pre to Magnum and am very happy. Better midrange transparency and smoother treble. And the blue LED is cool also... Mark O'Brien at Rogue is absolutely the best, he really cares. | |
| What do you think about MIRAGE speakers..particularly OM s I auditioned one of the OM speakers recently, I am not sure which model but the price was $2200 or so. The amp was a Marantz surround sound receiver so keep that in mind. I felt they had virtually no upper detail and sounded way too relaxed, almos... | |
| best cd's to impress your friends with.. Megadeth's new CD, "The World Needs a Hero" is a great recording and will kick a hole in your chest on the right system. | |
| How much are you worth ? My wife agreed after we were married that I should have the right to spend as much on my stereo as I did on her engagement ring...so when you get ready to propose, you may want to remember that little bit of info...but then again, she is unique an... | |
| Odyssey Stratos Definitely call Klaus on the phone - he is very busy but always answers the calls. I have gotten email from him at 3am which shows how busy he is. As for the Stratos, I recently went from a Primare A10 to the Stratos and the difference is huge. I ... | |
| Jolida 1501 RC I owned the 1701 and was unimpressed. I felt there was a lack of bass and the soundstage was unfocused. I have a Primare A10 that I would recommend as a mid-price integrated. There is a dealer on audiogon selling them new for $795 - good price. | |

| really small speakers less than 500 I own the JPW 310 ($250 pair) in my second system and they are quite nice. |
