Quicksilver amp owners
I owned the 90 watt Silver Monos for a few years. The good points, (compared to the solid state Mac amp that I was also using in the same system during the same period)were the crystal clear midrange, and the 3-d dimension of voices. The bad part ... 
Excellent Outdoor FM Antennas
Audio Classics in Vestal N.Y. is a good place to send your Mac for tune up. You can also send it back to Mac. 
Usher cp-8511 or Proac D80 or Spendor sp100r
I don't know how helpful this will be. I'm very familiar with the SP100, but I haven't heard the new version at all, and I don't even know what was changed. Having said that, I have also owned 2 different Proac models, and they are quite different... 
Review: Spendor SP-100 Speaker
They really do have an endearing character. Like all speakers, they have a personality, but the personality that they have is very sypathetic to the nature of music. Even though you can find fault if you listen (ultimate extension at both ends,(la... 
Why are most High End Amps class A
As Stanwal wisely states, listen before you change. I have owned a McIntosh 2105 for 10 years, and during that time also owned a Mac MC 300 which I sold after 3 years to buy a Pass Labs X250.5. For most efficient speakers, at modest volumes , that... 
Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps
I have no experience with either of those brands, but if you love the speakers, and you can afford them, check out the Mundorf silver oil caps. They are 20% off at Sonic Craft right now, and they are great. 
Vienna Beethoven, Spendor 8SE, Adagio or VS VR4jr
I don't have first hand experience with any of those that you mention, but all of the Spendors share a family sound which seems to be the type of sound that you are looking for, that is refined and slightly warm. I can definately recommend the cla... 
anyone else notice the meridian speakers in......
Is your spelling intentional, or are you joking? 
Dual volume controls on superphon pre-amp
I have dual volume controls on my Morrison Audio ELAD. It seems like a pain, but I became acclimated to it pretty quickly. Try it for a while. 
Please disclose your commercial affiliation
I will agree that what sometimes seems to be excessive praise of a certain products may cause suspicions about the motives and identity of the reviewer, but I am curious to know what the members contributing to this thread think about member revie... 
who needs a cd player anymore
I would miss the pictures and liner notes. 
Tannoy rewire ?
If you call Jeff at Sonic Craft and tell him the information about the drivers etc. He will give you good advice about the proper wire and solder to use. He really knows about this subject. 
Dahlquist DQ-8 was: Newbie needs advice...
I have never heard the DQ8, but I have owned the DQ20 and now just recently bought a pair of DQM9 compact, and I think that they made some great speakers. I believe that many owners have upgraded the crossovers and wiring and discovered that these... 
Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker
I want to add my own recent experience with a different Dahlquist speaker. Just for fun, I bought a used pair of Dahlquist DQM9 compact monitors here on Audiogon. I remember when they came out in the eighties, and I was curious because I had read ... 
Using a 15 inch woofer to do mid range
Are you sure of the crossover points they are using? The horn can cover quite a bit of the treble and midrange.
