| Audio refinement vs AA Puccini vs Linn M I don't have experience with the Puccini or the Linn myself but do own the Audio Refinement and I love it. Too refined like the other poster said? Not to me, I find it a nice blend of solid state and tubes, sounding refined but still very up beat ... | |
| Audio refinement complete amp. I own the Complete integrated and CDP and I too can't say enough about them. Excellent pieces. Check the reviews at Audio Review, I posted a lengthy one there myself. | |
| Best Monitors used under $800 Hard to beat the Reynaud Twin MK2 at $745. Amazing. | |
| BEST Power Cable Under $100 Ironically the guy Camadeco is recommending makes his cords with the Belden #19364 cordage I am referring to. These cords are very easy to make. There are several places on line and maybe even near you that sells the Belden #19364 cordage by the f... | |
| BEST Power Cable Under $100 Another possiblity is DIY Belden cords. I have built a number of these, each cord cost about $20 to make. No soldering or anything like that, very easy to make. I have compared these cords to the $100 LAT International AC-2 and the $200+ TG Audio ... | |
| ~$1k Monitors...So Many Choices... I have the Reynaud Twin MK2's and they are absolutely staggering! I owned a pair of B&W CDM1's prior to this and it's no comparison, these speakers are so good it about makes you cry. The above poster who mentions the 100 hour break in is corr... | |
| $1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete > About the only definitive recommendations I'll venture > are that the ARC does indeed roll the top octave 1 dB > @10k, 3dB @ 20k, so a "dark" monitor may not be > synergistic I don't agree with this and never have. I do not feel the ... | |
| Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers? I just picked up the Reynaud Twin MK II's and they are excellent, you might put them on your list. | |
| $1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete I was using a pair of B&W CDM1's with my Audio Refinement integrated and CD player and I found the B&W's to be a good match, but I don't feel the CDM1's were doing the Audio Refinement gear its due justice. I disagree with the poster above... | |
| Best Speakers for small room under $3.5k The JM Reynaud Trente's are getting some excellent comments right now, especially in the gleaming Listener review. They describe these monitor's as highly seductive and magical, musical, smooth and highly involving. www.jm-reynaud.com | |
| Compare intregrated amp ECI-3 VS.AR. You know, I sure hope to hell a $1,900 amp is much better than a amp half it's price. The Audio Refinement is unmatched at it's price in my view, and I'm hoping should I ever want to better it, that by paying double I'll bump in quality in every way. | |
| Cheap Powercords...worth the effort??? I ditto the response from Hdm regarding the LAT cord. I actually use this cord on my Audio Refinement Complete and it works well. You want to go real cheap? Make one. I made one from Belden #19364 cordage, terminated it with a nice Hubbell plug an... |
