| Would appreciate feedback on logic Given the amount of attention cables get on websites like this and elsewhere, I don't think your thought process is in error. I do, however, feel it would be a foolish move to start playing with cables in your situation, unless you can try them fi... | |
| kimber silver streak vs Audioquest colorado I have the AQ and I've heard the Kimber. For me, the AQ is a better cable overall. Also, I never like anything silver between an amp and a preamp. If price is an issue, there is not a huge difference between Colorado and Columbia. Or even between ... | |

| FOCAL ELECTRA 1037BE OR B&W 802D? Get the one with the higher resale value. | |
| Dynavector 20X2 L vs Audio-Technica AT33PTG/II If you are planning on buying a phono stage, I have the matching DV P-75. Its a great combo because of the synergy between the 2 DV components. I find that it competes with combo's that cost much more. I know several AG members have the same setup... | |
| Connecting Preamp to AVR "Can't you use tape out and use the controlls on hk7550hd to adjust for balance, tone etc? The hk7550hd has a ton of adjustments, but maybe not the filtering you need for tt."Have another look at the OP. He did try the tape loop and the results we... | |

| Connecting Preamp to AVR I see 3 options for you. The first is to use the tape out. You have already tried it and know it works. That would be better than the 2nd option, which is to use the pre outs. If you fool around with the volume controls on both units, you can prob... | |
| Typical Characteristics of a McIntosh / B&W system I really don't like B&W, but I have heard them with McIntosh many times. I thought it was one of the better sounding combos for B&W. For me, I've always found the highs too bright/harsh.I'm sure you already know this but you have to make s... | |
| Dynavector 20X2 L vs Audio-Technica AT33PTG/II I have the DV and like it very much. Wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. I haven't heard the AT but I know its well liked. | |
| Building a new system / Advice on some products You didn't mention if you use the system for music. If so, how important is 2 channel for you? | |
| Building a new system / Advice on some products I think B&W is way over priced for what they give you. I'm not trying to talk you out of them, but you did ask for opinions.That said, they are pretty revealing speakers and I think they would expose every flaw in the receiver. I would go for ... | |
