| Avalon Speaker + Electrocompaniet Amp = Good? I recommend you listen to the speakers yourself before you buy them. Doing otherwise would be foolish. | |
| Separate playbacks for vinyl, cd? "Through research and experience, it is my opinion that the components heirarchy in respective medias is different enough as to justify investing in two systems. Analog being focused on the source to output and digital having a greater emphasis on... | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? They're not hard to drive if you have a good amp. Also, 4 ohms is an average. Depending on the frequency of the music you are playing, the speakers resistance will vary. | |
| Preamp for Parasound A21? If you are willing to go used, have a look at these: Ayre K5, VTL 2.5, CJ premier 18, BAT 3. You should be happy with any one of them. | |
| mcintosh 452 amp Are you afraid to hook your new amp up for some reason? You shouldn't have any problems. Both pieces should work OK with each other. If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you take care of this before you bought a new amp? It seems like a risky t... | |

| Sugden amp to pair Harbeth SHL5? Not too thick? This may sound like an odd recommendation, but a BAT 300x integrated would probably be a very good choice. It has a phono option and 3 different preamp options. Its built like a tank and is very powerful. Also, its neutral enough to work with just... | |
| DIY base for Thorens TD160 It may not be a bad idea to give The Cable Company a call. They sell more of this kind of thing than anyone. You may find something used/demo or just maybe a cost effective new solution. Also, they will let you try it in your system first before y... | |
| Which to Switch: the Mac or the Act? The reason I asked about the xover is to find out if its part of the overall sound of your system. It clearly is. I've had Pass gear in the past, but have no experience their active xovers. I have to assume that besides doing its job as a xover, i... | |

| Rotel RCD-1072 vs Sony XA5400ES "Zd542, no disrespect was intended, so I hope none was taken."None whatsoever. Your opinion is every bit as valid as mine, and its an honest one. Nothing wrong with that. |
