| Good 2 channel premap with HT bypass Hello. Your post says a "good" preamp, which opens the door to many such units. I can personally recommend the Muse Model 3 Signature, a SS unit, which offers a clear, smooth, dynamic sound, excellent bass, and an HT pass through. This unit also m... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... Man, I see quite a few I used to own listed here! The four I probably listened to the most, and would consider "defining" in the context of this post would be:Allman Brothers Band (Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore)Derek and the DominosSantana ... | |
| What's the most anolog sounding CDP I'll third the Muse recommendations, Models 9 signature and 10 are excellent at redbook cd and DVD. Detailed and never harsh. Mids are very "real-sounding" when used with suitable supporting equipment. I don't have enough experience to say they ar... | |
| Pics with ads? To Mt10425, I disagree that, "pics of cables are almost completely usless," as I have recently sold 4 pair of self-made and/or self-terminated speaker cables, and wouldn't have considered asking someone to purchase them without letting the prospec... | |
| WAF, Help, Need Strategy You are talking about your main living room. Both of you view it as the focal point of the house, where you will spend most of your time, and where you will entertain friends and relatives. She probably has a significantly different concept of wha... | |
| How come that NOS is better them NS new stock ? I believe I have read there are environmental considerations in the materials and practices of manufacturing tubes that weren't in place years ago (when the NOS tubes were made). This is not uncommon as air emission and materials waste disposal is... | |
| I've lost my bass.... I agree with Sean, the amp can definitely impact bass response. I had a McCormack DNA2 in my system for awhile, and the bass was subterrainian, far better than with any other amp I have owned. However, I couldn't live with the way it sounded in th... | |
| Muse Model Nine vs ? The 9 signature is very, very good on redbook CD, and an excellent DVD player as well. Based on feedback from Kevin at MUSE, for CD and DVD, the 10 is a higher performance player than the 11, although the 11 offers the advantage of playing SACD ma... | |
| Bi Wire Tweak Do you guys ever read input by Jon Risch over on AA Cable Asylum? He is a regular poster and fairly knowledgeable/helpful about things related to cables, room treatment, and other topics. This link, and the related follow-ups on AA, may clear up s... | |
| Upgrade to Simaudio or keep my Classe? Your components are good and appear to be synergistic with each other. Is there anything specific you are trying to improve on? The biggest upgrades recently have been in the digital domain and that may be where you will see the most improved perf... | |
| Ann Arbor Hi, I am in Kalamazoo so may not be as active as you guys who are closer to AA, but I am definitely interested in hearing more. In building my system, there have been many times I would have liked to audition a piece before buying off A'gon based ... | |
| Power cords In my experience, yes PC's do make a difference, but I have not yet reached the point of diminishing returns. I think it is a personal matter where you want to spend your $, and when you are finally satisfied to just listen to music. I have a fair... | |

| Which are the top DVD-A players? There are other options, check out Muse Model 10, Model 9 Signature, and Thalia. All are reported to be excellent with redbook CD and DVD-A. Links below.http://www.museelectronics.com/thalia.htmlhttp://www.museelectronics.com/new.html | |
| Adcom GFP-750 vs Parasound P/LD-2000 Preamps? Sorry, but I haven't heard the Parasound. FWIW, I owned the Adcom for over a year, then had it upgraded with Stan Warren's Black Gate cap upgrade. Very detailed, but somewhat bright with a propensity of becoming etched in the upper frequencies on ... |
