| Artists of the Decade Tord Gustavsen Trio is my choice. Their three albums have all been in this decade and are all spectacular. | |
| heard Melody Gardot? "My One and Only Thrill" is probably my favourite of 2009 as well. "Worriesome Heart" is excellent too. | |
| from B&w 805's to Usher be-718 - what to expect? I have to agree with Soix, although I think the improvement over the 805's is in more than just bass weight and extension. You can take that with a grain of salt if you want since I am an Usher dealer. But, being an Usher dealer I will also confir... | |
| Favourite ECM Titles Tord Gustavsen Trio - all of them are excellent | |
| Best decoder DTS,AC3,etc for Bel Canto Dac2 I imagine there are probably different quality levels in downconversion. I can't say though which player may be better in this regard than another. | |
| Best decoder DTS,AC3,etc for Bel Canto Dac2 Within the audio menu of your DVD player or blu-ray, for use with the DAC2, make sure the digital output is set to stereo. This will often be shown as PCM (pulse code modulation) or L-PCM (linear pulse code modulation). With your player set to thi... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Tord Gustavsen Trio - Changing Places - this jazz trio from Norway is spectacular. This is their first album. All three of their records are absolutely outstanding. It's hard to put one above the others, but if I was to choose, it would be "Changi... | |
| How loud do you like to play your music? Raks, you said "When I played the Focals at the same mark, the sound was uncomfortable. That confused me because the Ushers are more efficient than the Focals."Actually, it's the other way around. The Ushers are much less efficent than the Fo... | |
| Cary MB CAD 500 amp Macdadtexas, no need to think about replacing your 500MB's if you like them that much. A good amp is a good amp ... regardless of whether there is a new model or not. | |
| Cary MB CAD 500 amp Why does a company discontinue a product? In some cases because a new design exclipses the old design, or it just didn't sell well in the first place. I can't answer this for sure in the case of the Cary CAD-500MB, but it could very well be becaus... | |
| B&W 8 Series Newbie My advice would be to look at something other than B&W. In my opinion, you can do a lot better for much less money than the B&W 800 series speakers. There are so many great speakers out there that it's hard to potentially point you to a mo... | |

| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? Audiofeil, you have a valid point. I guess I probably shouldn't mention about products I sell. However, I'm definitely not the only one, that's for sure. But, I'm upfront about it so people can be free to take or leave my opinion. I'm just very pa... | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? Wireless200, I like Bel Canto a lot as it seems you do as well. I've been a Bel Canto dealer for a long time and am a fan of their products. I still think it isn't a fair comparison as the Chapter integrated amp is almost 5 times the price as the ... | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? We wouldn't be comparing apples to apples. The Chapter Audio Precis 250S is a $11,995 USD integrated amp and the Bel Canto integrated amps retail for $2,495 USD. It's not a fair comparison. |
