ARC Ref 3 bad tube?
Sorry to be a little off topic,but If you replace the 6550 tube every 2000 hrs, what happens with the tube usage reader? Is that used just to measure the life of the 6h30 tubes? Also why does the audio research web page state that preamp tubes sho...

How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange?
I had a pair of nautilus 802 which I replaced with the 802 diamonds and I played both very loud (ie I can't hear what the person beside me is saying). I think the 802's don't sound their best unless they are played at higher volume. Hi-fi+ had a r...

Brystrons NEW BDP-1 Digital Player

My room is about 25 feet by 20 feet with 8 feet high ceiling. I am using a ayre vlxe amp. Before the b&w 802n ,i was using the b&w 801 series 2. I would not call 802n bass shy, but the old 801 had a deeper more muscular bass. The highs of ... 
Rowland Synergy IIi, Cadence and BPS-1
Sorry to hear about your problems. I bought my bps used and never received a manual with it. With my unit only the green light is on. The batteries in my unit were almost dead when i bought it. It would play for 1/2 hr before 1 would lose a channe... 
Rowland Synergy IIi, Cadence and BPS-1
My listening sessions usually last for about a maximum of 3.5 hrs.This is both with the power plug and unplugged. I think Rowland said if you run the bps totally off the battery (ie unpluged), you should be at least be able to play it for 2 hrs or...

Best sounding solution for Ipod
If you don't want to buy a dac and have a 4th or 5th generation ipod, I would get it modded by red wine audio. I had a 4 gen ipod which I was listening through the line out. The sound was ok (rolled off top end, bass a little light and the sound w...
