| Any Recommended Amps for Dali MS4? You might want to contact Sound Organisation in Dallas (importer) and see what they recommend. Very nice guys. | |
| Lexicon BD-30 universal player The RT-20 appears to have a couple of small extra boards in it. Probably mods to the power supply and maybe output stage. Other than that, everything else appears identical - wire colors, chokes, even looks like the copper screws on the inside of ... | |
| Lexicon BD-30 universal player Spoke with friends in the hi-fi industry who confirmed that the story is true. Turns out several companies use the Oppo transport (Ayre, Theta and Primare are a few), but significantly modify the power supplies, chipsets, etc. But, unfortunately, ... | |

| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music If you don't mind used, you could look at the previous Focal Utopia Be's. I bet you could find a used pair of Alto's for that price. Maybe even Novas at the top of the range. The inverted Beryllium tweeter produces a very wide soundstage. Paired w... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Bauhaus and Peter Murphy (after Bauhaus). The Fixx (or Cy Curnin). Love and Rockets. The Stranglers. XTC.Try http://www.radionigel.com/ I found a bunch of alt 80's groups there. Lots of stuff that never quite made it to mainstream. | |
| Surround Sound Processor Suggestions Arcam AV-8 or early AV-9 before assembly was sent to China. AV-8 if you don't need/want HDMI. AV-9 if you do. In 2-channel mode, all the digital circuitry is turned off to help with noise. Can't recommend highly enough. | |
| To repair/replace Utopia Be I replaced a tweeter in my Divas Be's in 2006. Accidentally cracked a tweeter replacing the tiny metal tweeter covers.The connection between the tweeter and speaker will need to be resoldered, so you should probably practice a bit so you don't get... | |

| Speaker shopping Help? Recommend the Focals. Could even look for a pair of used Utopias (Divas or even Altos) now that the new line is out. Really need to hear before you buy in case they are not your taste. | |
| amberwave audio, have you heard them? Heard them the last two years at RMAF running Intuitive Design Summits (IIRC). They sound VERY good. Warm, smooth tube sound. Speaking of warm, those large tubes had the hotel room damn near boiling. That and the large size make them impractical u... | |
| The best AV Pre Amp and Amps? I recommend the ARCAM FMJ line of pre/pros and amps. The pre/pro (AV-9) does not do video processing, only switching, but I assume that your source probably has a better processor than most pre/pros anyway. New AV-9s do have HDMI switching. I use ... | |
| Classe SSP-600 or Parasound C-1/Any recommendation Arcam AV-9 | |
| Babies and Speakers Depends on how close you live to the Grandparents. Sure, you can't play at pre-baby volumes all the time, but if you stay home occasionally during the trips to the Grandparents, those rare opportunities to turn the knob past 2 are that much sweete... | |
