| AMG V12 Wrong forum, LOL! | |
| More info pertaining to Pass point 8 series amps Not only they double down, their power specs are very conservative. One example: the lowly XA30.5 is in reality a 130W@8Ω / 195W@4Ω amplifier, according to Stereophile measurements. | |
| The Tannoy Speaker Line - worth a serious look ? Yes! Unless you have a huge room, please listen to the Definition DC10T. It is a winner in every way. | |
| Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1 This thread is fascinating on what it says about differences in taste (yes, prejudices too) among audiophiles. I can't think of a better speaker comparison than between these two (I am familiar with both). Thiels are all about detail and image sha... | |
| New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2 Chayro is exactly right. When did you get an upgrade for your old Ford Galaxie? High-end audio is no different than any other commercial endeavor. Enjoy what you have. | |
| B & W 800 Diamonds The 800 Diamond's bass is deep and powerful, but you still have to be careful with cables and components to avoid brightness; the response is a bit lumpy, and I'm not in love with the FST Kevlar midrange, but I have owned several B&W speakers ... | |

| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 Taking into account everything you and the other posters have said, my take is that you would be happy with either system. Just make sure the phono preamp is up to the task. | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle I tried the alternate version but still prefer the official one. My system has never sounded better than with JPlay 5.2, both as JPlayMini or as ASIO driver for Album Player 2.99. | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help I agree with Drubin on both posts, especially about Harbeth, the C7 above all. | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables "I just couldn't imagine buying a single pair of cables of different lengths."It wasn't clear to me either, that's why I wrote it seemed weird. | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle I don't know about "massive," but I agree v5.2 improves on 5.1. I haven't yet tried the alternate version, but some at the JPlay forum say sounds even better. | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables Agree, it's a weird question. | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable I bump Dave 72's question for the experts:Which tonearms would any of you recommend on this armless version? | |
| tube amps and electrostatics MartinLogan CLX speakers work very well with small tube amps and 50W is more than enough, according to Hi-Fi World. The reviewers were adamant about it in their CLX review. |
