| Great Small Speakers w/ high WAF? In the looks department I would look at the B&W 805 Nautilus or the Sonus Faber speakers. I prefer the sound of the latter but the looks of either are impressive.-Vik | |
| Cardas Machined RCA Caps.??? I noticed no difference with my system. But they sure did look perty...-Vik | |
| Best Amp for Revel F30 I think the Lev idea is a good one, but I have heard Revel sound great with Mac gear, The Mac sound to me is abit more organic and the all lev system I heard was a bit more clinical with some added detail. Pass Labs woudl also be a good idea if yo... | |

| Clearaudio MAGIX Magnetic Isolators ? IF your components are designed even marginally well the magnetic fields are not going to bother them. However I think one area where a field woudl cause problems would be aroud the turntable, but I am assumign that since Clearaudio is a TT manufa... | |
| Cardas Neutral Reference or Kimber Monocle XL or.. Have you heard either of these cables? They sounded completely different to me... If not don't go on others "research", all reviews have far too much personal bias to be taken at face value IMHO. If for some reason you can't audotion I suggest the... | |
| Do isolation devices really help? One isolation product made a complete difference under my tube pre. A Symposium Ultra shelf. Expensive , yes, but an amazing improvement. Literally, I woudl have to change the component to hearas muchadifffence. It took my BC3 Galatea to another l... | |
| Pre-Amp sound similar to Conrad Johnson I had the same issues I believe you are having with the CJ pre. They had the warmest sweetest midrange but to me sounded a bit slow anf muddy. The best compromises I have found are Blue Circle (musical with detail) and BAT (warm with speed). Good ... | |
| B&W N805 vs Revel M20 To me the "advantage" uyou describe the N805 having is really just a feature. Plenty of higher quality speakers have not bought into the concept of a two wirign posts available for biwiring. I have heard the Revel M-20 extensively and the N805 (no... | |
| Dynaudio 25th anniversary speakers Just saw them at my dealer the other day. they are are deeper than the 1.3 se, but other than that look exactly the same. Hearing the tuner through them was fun! -Vik | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? Loves:the blue book is nice but I want even more upto date info. I wouldn't mind if they tracked sales and purchases to get a more accurate set of dataSearch feature is fastSearch feature should use a better engine (?) searching to info on the for... | |
| Vibration Isolators The best I have heard is the Symposium Rollerblocks and Ultra Shelf. check out symposiumusa.comAmazing stuff that is easy to point to when you do an A/B with the shel in and with the shelf out. I dare anyone else to do a similair test with their f... | |

| Blue Circle BC-8 Monos, have/heard them? I heard them with Merlin VSM-m and thought they were awesome. The first word that comes to mind is effortless. Music just poured into the room like water. Images and sounds burst out of spaces well beyond, infront of and behind the speakers. Could... | |
| Opinions on preamps Of the ones you have mentioned I have heard the Hovland so I will go with that. I actually preffered the Blue Circle BC3000. I will never say another component "blows another out of the water" (especially at this price point) but I thought the Blu... |
