| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... I have heard many Class D amplifiers, the latest Nuforce can seriously challenge many, really expensive conventional amplifiers. Nuforce are the only switching amplifiers that I have heard that have a liquidity and presence in the midrange that ri... | |

| mcintosh mcd-1100 vs ayon cd5s, audio aero cpdplay The Prestige is a far superior sounding product to any of the other players. | |
| Conrad-johnson TC5 or Cary SLP 05 ? Two great yet different sounding preamps, the CT 5 offers more detail the SLP 05 is a bit more liquid so it depends on what you are trying to bring out of your system.The other things to consider is that the CT 5 uses only two tubes so is going to... | |
| Cremona m vs sophia 2 Personally I wouldn't recommend the speaker change until you upgrade the amp and and a proper two channel preamplifier.The problem with much more reveling speakers is that they show flaws in the system. The Anthem is a fantastic processor, but a g... | |
| DeVore Silverbacks 4musica, it depends on what you are comparing them to. I heard them at SBS and no matter what gear they were using, the Silverbacks didn't go particularly low. I am not saying they didn't do a lot of nice things, it is just not a bass or dynamics ... | |
| Opinions Please - my next speaker $5 to $10K used Here's my take:Eggleston nice speaker but not as detailed as the MBL good midrange, decent bass can work close to rear wallWilson: Great dyanamics, good bass, very detailed, will not work well close to rear wall, and can be very finicky.Salons: or... | |
| DeVore Silverbacks I to prefer the Silverbacks to the Verity, however, I would recommend that you widen your net.The Silverbacks have a very natural midrange,and throw a nice soundstage, I will say they are a bit lightweight in the bass and dynamics are good but not... | |
| Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet The Deviilet is now available in the USA, before now there was no US distributor.I think the ASR is very good, and somewhat more reasonable priced than the Dart stuff which is very expensive for what you are getting.I am going to get a demo of the... | |
| Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet You can't list the Devialet with either of them.The Devialet is designed to be used with a digital signal directly to gain its full benefit of their technology. The ASR and Dartzeel both require a digital source and a set of interconnects.So when ... | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? What I point out to people is that Kef has spent an incredible amount of time and money to develop the technology of the their speakers. The Uni Q is in its 10th generation.My point it with the .2 versions Kef has made one of the most perfect coin... | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? I am surprised that you mentioned enjoying the KEF 104 and have not looked at their modern version the 207.2.I have these speakers and when properly setup are about as good a speaker that you can purchase. The KEF's have an absolutely stunning mid... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari amp: X600.5 or X1000.5 ? A gentleman I know is using the CJ ART amplifiers with the Strads, and the sound is absolutely amazing! These are the finest tube amplifiers I have ever heard, the CJ amplifiers were able to play quite loudly in his room 30 feet long 20 wide 8 foo... | |
