| Newbie needs help Newbie indeed. You have oodles of questions, but it appears that you have very limited listening experiences. Wonder why not a soul (yet) has taken a stab at your post? I would definately, partculary at your listening stage, go with an integrated.... | |
| One More Question - Newbie The fact that they were driving different speakers is the reason for sounding louder. Your perception of SPL, if accurate, is probably due to the sensitivity of the speakers. They could be significantly more sensitive than your babies. BTW, wpc vs... | |
| Integrated amp up grade? That's the second Art Audio recommendation. The same audiophool who recommended the Mastersound touted the Art Audio, as well. | |
| Best sonics/music on CD Boa2, thanks for the tip. Sweeter Than the Day is just that: sweet, holographic (in my rig) and very intimate. I love it... | |
| Integrated amp up grade? Ever hear of the Redwine Signature 30. Very intriguing. I love the idea of battery power. And the price is more than right. Srajan gave the 30 a great review. I have been highly satisfied with everything I purchased due to one of his raves. Anyone... | |
| Best POP audiophile recording/album... I love Janis Ian, but "great singing?" You can't mean her voice. Maybe her passion? What's the deal with Jennifer Warnes Blue Raincoat? I have the recording and it is truly audiophile quality. But the choice of material. Uggh, IMHO.. | |
| Best POP audiophile recording/album... Marco, you got that right with Pop Pop, though I would rate it excellent, not quite good... | |
| Best sonics/music on CD The more I think of it, the enjoyment of Temptation is due to Tom Waitts. Great material. Her other choices of music don't hold up. I put her with Pat Barber voice wise. Now PB's recordings are killer. But that's another story... | |
| Best sonics/music on CD Firstly, I love this album. Holly's voice? Good at best, but 'tis smoky and intoxicating. She doesn't cut it (vocally) on her other albums. Purchased them all. Que Sera Sera? Give me a break. Anyway getting back to the sound quality: 4 string elec... | |
| Best sonics/music on CD Marco, I love Temptation by Holly Cole, but the recording just doesn't hold up with time: sound wise. Not audiophile level for these ears, but the music reins, no matter.... :) | |
| Best sonics/music on CD Boa2, I ordered (acutually won on ebay) Sweeter Than the Day. The little excerpts sold me. thanks :) | |

| Mastersound's 845 Integrated Gemini88, could you be more specific? I'm not trying to put you on the spot with a review, but your response only tells me you liked it better than an amp I know nothing about. What is the Mastersound doing, now, that your Pass couldn't? Please te... | |
| Speakers for large open room Certainly not ideal, but I can relate. I have a similar crib. My Zu Definitions with only 18 SET watts move an incredible amount of air. Wonderful at low volume too. You forgot to mention a few things: budget, components, what you're driving now, ... | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? I agree with Tvad, as well, but not, perhaps as strongly as others. As you can see, it's winding up a coin toss which is preferred. It certainly isn't an egregious mistake purchasing your source first. Between amp and source? I'd put my money on (... |
