| Coolest looking vintage tuner..... IMHO looks should be secondary but I also like equipment that looks sexy and matches my other components. Take a look at the Accuphase T101 FM only tuners. They have the classic look still maintain there original value and sound great. They only c... | |
| What Amp for B&W N802 Armandito,I am not going to recommend specific amps because it is really a personal choice. You should if possible audition several that you like. IMHO get as much power as you can. I use two channel amps on my N802's so that I can bi-wire. Meanin... | |
| Wadia Owner - with or without preamp I'm going to jump in on the pre amp side of this debate. I have tried mines extensivley both ways. Call it a fondness for coloration or what ever. IMHO my Wadia sounds better through a pre amp. Which allows me to contour the music for my room. Als... | |
| Rocky return to vinyl For what it is worth, I agree with all fore mentioned comments. I too went back to vinyl after hearing that I could not call my self a audiiophile. Not that it mattered but I have a midfi sytem in the 5 digit range so it did make me wonder what I ... | |
| Has anyone tried 2 amps in stereo mode? Neil,I have tried vertical bi-amping and using my two stero amps (crown DCA300's) which can be switched to mono in a true bi amp setup. As stated above vertical bi-amping will certainly improve your system. There are two ways of doing it if your s... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? I use Wattgate and even my wife heard the difference. So to answer your question high end plugs will improve your audio and video presentation. As for brands like any thing else you may want to experiment and determine for your selfHope this helps | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 The series 2 & 3 are not in the Nautilus family. You may want to skip both and go with the Nautilus 802. You will be glad you did. I have the N802's haven't been able to compare them to the older series 2&3 but I've been told that they are... | |
| Replacing MM Cartridge suggestions phillips table Gentleman,Thanks for responding. This is a great forum to get first hand recommendations from people that are not selling but just sharing expereinces from thier heart. I ended up with a Dynavector X10 not bad but it made me realize I really need ... | |
| Smaller speaker - bigger Woofer? LarryI know exactly what you mean. Years ago I thought if you didn't have a 12 inch woofer you weren't going to get the sound. I actually had disco speakers with two 12" woofers they really kicked on low end but couldn't handle classical. Wife mad... | |
| Copper vs. Silver interconnects It's preference. I have listen to silver cables and loved them because they bring out the high end particularly cymbals like Bob mentioned. However a good copper cable can do the same. I have found that the mixed strand cables seem to sound the be... | |
| Bi-amping with no pre-outs Maybe I'm missing something. If he wants to bi amp why not use a Y cable on the pre out to split the signal to the second amp. Assuming he is drivng the top or bottom of a full range speaker this is a no brainer. If however he wants to drive a sec... | |
| What's Good 5.1 pre/pre with DD, DTS, DPL II I'm surprised no one mentioned the studio choice for processors "Lexicon". In your price range you may have to go used, but the Lexicons will blow the socks off of most processors. There is a trade off however, for pure music pleasure they are not... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Gentleman,I agree with above cables whether they are IC's or speakers cannot be classified as a tweak. My experience is that a good cable like wine, cheese,cigars, or even cars is going to perform better. However power cords and conditioners may n... |
