| neutrality vs. realism Since mics, etc. will always take away something from the original sound, it would seem components would have to add some of that back. Meaning the must put out more than they get in.Not the best example but: say SET's are quicker than reality. Si... | |

| Shine-Ola and Novus CD treatment Rx8man, the Shine-Ola looks to be fairly permanent but the Novus may not be because of the Silicon oil and other stuff in it. This could evaporate or rub off over time.Also I am concerned about long term effect of Novus on CD's. Could be after a w... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Spluta, that was my point about B&W revealing the source. I went right from my listening room (N804 / Musical Fidelity) to the dealer who had N802 and McIntosh. McIntosh threw a big veil over the sound. Some people like this.Aball, Krell could... | |
| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? Inner Sound Eros planars? | |
| Amp for my Vienna Acoustic Haydns? If you don't like tubes, then the McIntosh, and McCormack to a lesser extent, may not be good choices.You might like the Onix amps. www.av123.com sells them and at much cheaper price than what you've been looking at.Also Haydn's lack the "boogie f... | |
| For a fuller bass- A3.2 MF or Unico UR ? Sean, so what comparably priced cable do you like? Is the LAT (Luminuous Audio Technology) any good?The 3.2 vs. 3.0 cr subjectively added 5-8 Hz deeper bass and sound was a little crisper. Both due to higher power?Tube gear, and a tube preamp espe... | |
| neutrality vs. realism Agreed, Onhwy61. Also getting back to Rives' room acoustic post.Once a stereo has reached "perfection" it's the recording which will make or break the reality. Until recordings are perfect, a perfect stereo will show off the recording's faults. Ma... | |
| Shine-Ola and Novus CD treatment Played ZZ Top: one treated with Novus, the other with Shine-Ola. My girlfriend liked the Shine-Ola better (played this disc second). By the 4th switch couldn't tell them apart. | |
| Seeing the light Good, one less thing I need to buy. | |
| Gruv Glide and CD's I don't see how any coating will improve readability. Unless it helps laser better see differences in reflectivity. | |
| Shine-Ola and Novus CD treatment Hi Brianw. I don't know who told you Novus #1 has petroluem products. I called Novus before using and they told me it contains silicon and vegetable cleaners. I spoke with Novus again after seeing your post and was told silicon and isopropyl alcoh... | |
| Vienna Acoustics and cable You can get silver wire from michaelpercyaudio and make your own I/C's. Shouldn't be more than $20-$50 for a couple of sets. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated Vs Krell KAV-300i Also look at the Arcam A-85 if you can live with 85 watts. Sim may be too bright. They sure were for me switching from M-F to I-5 on Virgo II's (metal driver). |
