Acurus A200 vs Adcom 5800
Yup, i'd go with aragon over adcom. 5802 over the a-200 tho. 
Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED
best preamp is no preamp!but i saw a blue circle bc-3 on audiogon classified ad for 1300. i am not sure how it will match with the citation amp tho. that amp sounds kind of lifeless to my ears. 
Acurus A200 vs Adcom 5800
I'd go with the Adcom. 
Still Contemplating New Amp Choices..
I would suggest you stay away from 5 channel amps that share the same power supplies. Those are simply the least musical amps. I'd rather go with a receiver. 
Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
Malice!Stop laughing at him!It is a pity that we are laughing at his cable selection. Who knows, it might be the best cable in his particular situation. Who says MIT isn't a viable option in certain circumstances. 
Solid State amp with wide soundstage
I wanna throw in my own amp. The 8002 Aragon. This amp is a sleeper. Check out its reviews on Audioreview.com. When set up right, this amp beats 8008 and most amps quadruple its price. I got a VD powercord hooked up to it. 
Are silver cables on the way out?
I've used many copper and silver speaker cables of the Audioquest line. And the ones with the most silver always sounded better. But, you can argue that it is the cable's geometery and insulation material that made the biggest difference.Is it rea... 
Kef 103/4 Need help in overhauling,No bass at all
Yup, I totally agree.When I set up the 103/4 witht he Klipsch sub, the KEFs were running full range while the sub was xovered at 80hz. Placement was best directly facing the speakers, directly behind the listener. The midhighs to highs will have a... 
Speaker cable suggestions
Unless you sit your amps very far apart, you can double biwire. 
Any Chinese audiophiles?
037-602009 0930464381 is the CD's publisher's phone #. You just have to ask the operator for the international dialing # for Taiwan. If you prefer to fax, 037-602235 is the number. I myself am not sure how the phone #s work there. I've not lived i... 
AQ Argents vs Goertz MI2 Speaker Cables
Hi Hasse,Unfortunately, I havne't compared the Argents I am using to a lot of other cables. I have Kimber 4tc and Midnight3. Comparing to Argent, neither of these cables sound "right" in my system. My amp is 8002 Aragon, and the speakers are KEF10... 
how to use same mains for ht and 2 channel?
I saw a Denon AVP8000 on audiogon classified for $800 dollars. Great preamp with digital inputs. Easy preamp upgrade and dac upgrade for your megachanger and dvd player. 
Whats the best power conditioner for RPTV?
Install an IEC input so you can use some aftermarket powercords on your tv.I'd recommend going with virtual dynamics. If IEC isn't an option, I'd second Richard Grey and Vansevers or use PS Audio's ultimate outlet. 
PlayStation2 as budget DVD source: why/why not?
I've read on some electronic magazine, I forgot which, it compared some $500 dvd players and one $1000 dvd player to the PS2. The reviewer states their is hardly any visual difference between PS2 and other dvd players. But there was noticeable dif... 
What processor competes with best preamp?
Here Here! Stereo Theater RULES!Good thing my dvd player has Dolby Digital 2.1 and 3.1. At time, I split the center pre-out from my dvd player into the left+right inputs on my TV and use it as center speaker.But, full range stereo sounds just fine...
