| ARC CD-2, dac or player upgrade? I have an ARC-CD2 and I recently purchased and then sold a well known 'value priced' CD Player. The ARC 2 once again held it's ground. I know that the CD-2 is an older design, but it is so very musical. If you have some money to put into your syst... | |
| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound D-U-N-L-A-V-Y | |
| At what price do amps start to sound A great little amp that doesn't get too much notice is the Audio Research D200. Find them used for under a $1,000.00 and smile all the way to the bank. Rotel products are also a terrific value. | |
| Advice for music outdoors Let me say first that I'm not really a big fan of Bose products, however, in outdoor or low level listening applications I find them to be a good value. | |
| Dunlavy Y or Revel Studio for jazz/rock-fusion? In the 35 years in this hobby, I've never heard anything come closer to real music than the Dunlavy line of speakers. They are 'big' and do best in a big room. That said; they are typically the last speaker purchase for many audiophiles. | |
| Optimism in Music. I play a fair amount of Contemporary Christian and Classical Music (not that I don't enjoy many other types). Both of these categories, however, abound with great affirming music; which to me is a lot of what this hobby is all about! | |
| Bose Wave Music system I really don't think that Boze is considered to be a part of the High End community. Nevertheless, I personally own one of these things and find it satisfying for background music. In fact, I prefer the Bose to my $$$$$ reference system at low vol... | |
| Looking for a non-powered sub Probably the best ever made is the Dunlavy Sub housed in the SC-V cabinet. Very rare, but worth the challenge of finding one. TIGHT deep base! | |
| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? I have seen a number of High-End audio shops 'open-struggle-fail'. These were good people trying to serve the public with a great passion for the business. Keep your job and be thankful that you have the means to enjoy your hobby and know where yo... | |
| Isolating the listening chair? For what it's worth, reading this thread (and the responses) is about the most fun that I've ever had on AudioGon. Every once in a while something comes along which is not only fun, but a little bit like looking in the mirror as well!! | |
| HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers After 30+ years in the hobby I have found the Dunlavy Speakers to be the most satisfying. The company is no longer in business but if in the rare event a driver needs to be replaced they are readily available. The SC-4s or SC-5s can be found at yo... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? I would at least audition the new Audio Research CD7. It retails for $9,000.00. From all reports, this may be the most musical one-box CD player ever produced. | |
| Favorite 6922 for ARC preamps. You might want to consider the Mapleshade brass tube dampers which will get you a long way toward the sound of NOS tubes while using standard 6922s. | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K You could definitely get the Dunlavy SC-Vs for that or perhaps the SC-VIs. They are huge speakers, but really have no sonic equal at this price point( but it does require enough room space to let them breath). | |
| Class A power amp will give the best BASS SLAM? How do you spell K R E L L ?!? |
