| This speaker crossover. Advise on improvement If the speaker is biwire friendly, consider an active XO. This will also require biamping, but this is where the real hi-end magic comes from | |
| More CD Player selection woes I agree with Dopogue. I have the 168. According to 6moons the 128 & 168 are quite close sonically. I am a proponent for fully balanced system from source through amps, so the 168 fit my needs.Previous players Lector CD 7T and Bluenote Stibbert... | |
| musical small sub for B&W 805s's B Reynolds is right. I have had the same speakers and sub for 2 years. After lots of equipment flowed through my system, I recently played around with both main speaker and sub positioning. Finally I have the continuousness that I was looking for. | |
| Best preamp for and EAR890 / ESL57 rig If CD is your only source consider eliminating a pre all together.THe Raysonic 168 has balanced tube variable output stage. It is so good I sold a $3K preamp | |

| Any thoughts on Ultrabit Platinum?? Don't let any overspray get on a rug or floor. It is very slippery! | |
| best loudspeakers for full Gryphon system Definitely check out planar-magentic type speakers- Magnepan, Podium Sound, Inner Sound,... | |
| Spectron MIII MKII after market tweeks ? We own similar design amps- mine is Wyred4Sound multichannel, as I am biamping.I highly recommend Clear Day solid core silver speaker cables. I am using the double shotgun. The improvements over many far more expensive cables was startling. | |
