| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio High end audio can be considered a luxury item. For some, it would be a $30,000 yacht - because that is their passion. For us, it's stereo equipment. So we get into a luxury item which we are passionate about.Because the mag's base their hearing o... | |
| Best Inexpensive Tuner? Try the T2 for $299 from:http:/www.antennaperformance.comI don't think this is the Yamaha people mentioned above. I'd like to know where you could buy that one. | |
| Levinson or Krell I have'nt heard the Krell 350's but as a general rule Krell's don't seem to be as musical and can be fatiguing over time. However these differences are small and may not bother your ears.Also try out the Proceed which is a cheaper version of Levin... | |
| How to clean RCA inputs and outputs? I like Caig ProGold from www.audioadvisor.com. Not only does it clean the contacts, it leaves a thin protective coating. | |
| Professional vs. Consumer speakers Have you listened to ATC active 100's? Still not quite as dynamic as live but the sound was very clean. Maybe the lack of odd-order harmonics that are designed out of the drivers or the active coupling to the driver.By "harshness" I was talking ab... | |
| Professional vs. Consumer speakers Thank you for the varied responses. It looks like this is not as simple as I'd hoped. So the near-field monitors are out. Maybe main monitors would be okay. It is hard to find these kind of speakers to audition.I have read J. Gordon Holt's reviews... | |
| Are active speakers the best upgrade First, thanks to the people here, I found out about ATC.Many things were impressive. I don't listen to $15,000 speakers much so everything impresses me (not Wilson's) compared to what I own (Nautilus):- I could hear 4-5 layers of tonality change a... | |
| Speaker placement formula http://www.reflexlabs.com/page728283.htmThe cost is $50.00There is also a company in NH who sells it for $50 plus $6.00 shipping - this was in the latest Audio Critic or Audio Xpress - can't remember | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus help The 150 wpc A300 is $1,600. If you go seprarates MF is $3,200 new. I would agree that McIntosh is warmer still. I found Krell harsh and fatiguing (over listening over time), Bryston bright, and Krell, Bryston, Sim all had mid-bass bloat that was r... | |
| How good are VMPS RM-40? I'm going to check these out also when I have the chance. Again no cone drivers: http://www.cadencebuilding.com/cadence/bslpix.html | |

| Musical Fidelity A3cr Power Amp ?Break-in Period? I've had the A3cr since last Oct. I think it started to break in at 40 hours and toook about 100.I still think when it has been off for 3-4 days it needs a couple of hours to loosen up. This is the feeling I've had with it in the past few weeks. I... | |
| Whats the best Small speaker thats cheap B&W DM 601 series 3. More life than Paradigm (which had some of the bigger dynamics), Mission and Wharfdale sounded flat and lifeless by comparision. Needed NAD or Cambridge because got too fatiguing with Teac/ Rotel stuff. They were so good I... | |
| How does the Teac Reference 500 integrated sound Thanks | |
| Speakers with bass response? I also have Nautilus 804. Marantz has good bass weight, I found the Rega Planet to be bass light on ProAc 2.5 / Dynaudio 3.0. Cary CD 303 also good in the bass but the sonic improvements were virtually inaudible to me. Since you know you want to u... |
