| Tyler Acoustic Reference Monitor, what amp? sub? I have used a pair of Monarchy Audio SM-70's with my Taylo Reference Monitors. These were the most "tubelike" solid state amps I've heard. The compact size could allow you to place the amps behind your speaker stands. Highly recommended and availa... | |
| Need Detail/ Resolution with Impact and Weak Bass Save yourself a ton-o-money and get the Triangle Titus xs(old version) or 202 (new tweeter). They list for $495, sometimes are discounted to $450 and you can resale them quickly for nearly $400 on this site! They are very fast (electrostatic like)... | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC Adam,I believe the volume control is out of the circuit when set to 0db. There is an audible click when the volume is turned up to 0. I am under the impression that a relay is engaged/dis-engaged taking the volume control out of the circuit.I don'... | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC How about Monarchy Audio Model 22c or Model 33(DAC and multi-input pre-amp in one box). The Monarchy has balanced outputs and both units have an analog volume control, so you can skip a seperate pre-amp. I bought, then mistakenly sold a perfect us... | |
| Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's You may need more power than the Bryston can muster. It is a fine sounding integrated (I previously owned one), but, I fear it won't do so well with the usually power hungry B&W's.I now have the Plinius 8200 and it is really nice. It has plent... | |
| Tube Pre into HT system? Get a tube pre-amp with an HT bypass or processor loop (same thing). This is a unity gain circuit which basically means a direct connection to the output of the pre-amp bypassing all of the controls. Simply select HT bypass and now your HT system ... | |
| You gotta love it I know of several "low-fi, popping record" effects on some very good modern CD releases. Two of note are:"...Stop That!" off of Bob James Grand Piano CanyonWhite Ladder off of David Gray's White Ladder AlbumAlso, Cake uses some distinctly "low-fi"... | |
| Triangle Monitors--Port Noise Complaint Well, you may want to try listening to music on the speakers! I had a pair of Triangle Titus and they sounded great with some much more expensive electronics. I did try them using a high pass filter at 85 hz with good results, but my "Super Audiop... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? Triangle Titus Monitors $495 new list, $275-$400 used. In the right setup, pure magic. Very revealing, critical of upstream components, but a dirt cheap glimpse of the "Hi-End".TIC | |
| 300 disk W/ outboard DAC or single play W good dac I have another option. Buy the AMC CD8B from AudioAdvisor for $199. They have a fantastic return policy, so if it doesn't meet your needs, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. I read the reviews on AudioReview, and it seems like a good c... | |
| 300 disk W/ outboard DAC or single play W good dac If it were my money, I would spend an extra $25 and get the Cambridge Audio D-500SE listed in the classified section of this site. The buyer is "asking" $300. Of course, being an "audio cheapskate", I would offer $300, shipping included!TIC | |

| I'm not into Home Theater but... More proof that you shouldn't start something you can't finish!! I'm appauld that it ended in a beating death, but let's face it, if he never "flew the bird", he wouldn't be in the hospital. | |
| My quest: an integrated with great imaging. Help When someone mentions WAF, I automatically think that your speaker positioning isn't optimal. I have a couple of friends with great components that have systems that sound mediocre. The soundstage especially suffers from the speaker placement in t... |
