| MJ Acoustics Subwoffers-Any opinions? Go for the 150 Mk II. I agree wholeheartedly with Rob, especially in the ability to set the sub from the listening position and saving the settings. | |
| Pass Labs heatsinks temperature If I were you I wouldn't worry. Pass Class-A amps get less warm than most others. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Another vote for Clayton Audio S100, M-200 and M-300. | |
| Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K Esoteric K-03, since you said CD/SACD first. | |
| Rel Strata III or Storm III owners... Devron, all you need for setup is to follow Sumiko's instructions. They work. | |
| 845 Tube Amps Icon Audio (push-pull) and Pure Sound (SET), both from the UK. | |
| Raidho C1.1 I think the Sasons are at least as good as the other two speakers. I would keep them and upgrade the rest of the system. | |
| Best speaker in the $5-10K range. Details below. Try to listen to the new Aerial Acoustics 7T. | |
| Raidho C1.1 I was surprised to read in Hi-Fi Plus (they are fans of both the C1 and C1.1) that the stand feet aren't adjustable. On top of that, the stand is not rigid by design. I can't imagine what happens when your floor isn't level, or on carpet. This is ... | |
| Rega P5 vs RP6 purchasing dilemma There is an unbelievably good and varied aftermarket for Regas that enables you to upgrade as budget allows: Rega TTPSU and upgrade belt, Funk F-XFR II (old pillar) and Inspire X100 (new pillar) tonearms, Groovetracer platter, subplatter, counterw... | |
| Inwall Speaker Suggestions ?? There are many alternatives, but since you "want good ones," I think you should listen to Thiel PowerPlane (front, center) and PowerPoint (surrounds), as well as to Joseph Audio Insiders before you make a decision. Both can go loud and any reasona... | |
| Martin Logan Summit X with Cary Audio 805ae I don't know how the Carys would behave, but in general it is a myth that tube amps should not be used with electrostatics. Tube amps have no problems with low impedances, in fact, some solid state amplifiers (you can see which when their specs do... | |
| Jplay Mini I agree. Just installed and used JPlay Mini in hibernation mode and it's stunning. | |
| Tannoy Prestige line: Westminister and down I have a slightly different take. In my opinion, the Prestige models worth the money are the Yorkminster and up, but they all require big $ and a really big room to excel. For a room smaller than about 3700 cu.ft. I would go for the Definition DC1... | |
| New REL T7 / T9 vs. older REL Storm III? I would stay away from a used Storm III. I owned one and it was good while it lasted. It blew up and could have also damaged one of my Stello monoblocks, which began malfunctioning at about the same time. |
