Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200
I have recently heard the FMJ33 in my home via a friend's unit and it produced an immediate focused soundstage with tight bass notes, its highs were well defined and had a nice sparkle to them with plenty of air around the instruments.I have not h... 
Help with Philips 963sa upsampling?
Have 'Audio Direct' on player 'on', I believe upsample 192Khz is default, toggling 'audio' on the remote shifts from 192k to 96k.This will only happen on regular 'redbook' CD's, not SACD.It sounds like the player is defective. 
ARC LS-2 vs LS-22R
I've owned both and the LS22 is definitely the better sounding preamp. The bass is what stands out in my mind,probably due to the huge power supply that is used.The highs were a little softer or less pronounced thenthe LS2; although I never tube r... 
Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R?
I use the Dreadnaught 5 ch x 200watts amp with my 3.6R's, when I first connected the amp I tried using just two channels, the sound was very good indeed. But next I tried running one channel directly into each external crossover connection for the... 
Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers?
VMPS RM40About the same size as the Dunlavy 4's, but much better midrange and highs IMO 
Bi-amp with 5ch amp, any hook up suggestions?
I have a Theta Dreadnaught 5 channel amp that I use to biamp my Maggie 3.6R's, leaving one channel unused.It does make a nice improvement to the 3.6's being biamped;I made up the 'Y' connection myself.The unused channel appears not to have been fr... 
Dunlavy SC-IV vs. Aerial 10T characteristics
Sol322, I am using A Theta Dreadnaught five channel amp,I biamp the 3.6's, leaving one channel of the amp unused. 
Dunlavy SC-IV vs. Aerial 10T characteristics
I had both in my living room at the same time to compare, I would sell the speaker that lost the shootout. I first had the Aerial 10T (which replaced B/W 801 mk3), then later replaced them with the Dunlavy 4's (second version). The 10T's had a 'gu... 
what is the best sub amp.
Eagle amps! Kind of difficult to locate one though because most of their owners do not want to part with them,very high current design with taut bass. 
What is the BEST resistor for audio use
I have been "listening" to various resistors for about 2 weeks now (on & off). I gathered various 10K resistors and used them as the main resistor in a shunt configuration with an Alps 100k pot.A few times when I turned on my system I had forg... 
bryston 14bst or aragon 8008bb
I have heard the 802N with the Theta Dreadnaught...magical !So much so that when I had a chance to purchase a used five channel version of the Theta I snatched it up. I've always had amps like the Bryston, Aragon, Threshold, BAT ss, but the move t... 
Classe Cam 350, Bryston 7bs or Sim W5
Forgot to add...I also have the Maggie 3.6R 
Classe Cam 350, Bryston 7bs or Sim W5
I'm using Theta's Dreadnaught 5 channel 200wpc amp, you can use it straight as a 200wpc amp, or biamp with identical amps. 
Bass Amp for Infinity RS 1B
The EAGLE 2A or 2C is a great bass amp for these, 120 WPC very high current(it will momentarily dim the lights upon power up).
