Classical fans, I need advice Another vote for violinist Rachel Podger in any Baroque repertoire. Several CDs out there. For Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante still remain the most thrilling and exhilarating.For the rest the world is your oyster. ... | |
Another superb CD Player/DAC; Lyngdorf CD1 Would be interesting to compare this with the new Bryston BCD-3 @ $3500. | |
Please help speakers Go with the Spendors. | |
CD players = dead? Bryston's new BCD-3 will change some people's minds. See the reviews that are just starting to trickle out... | |
$10K-15K short list? With a question like this, you'll get 15 different viewpoints from every ten respondents, but FWIW my pitch is for Vienna Acoustics Liszt. Breathtaking (at Gifted Listener, nr Wash DC). | |
What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps? So where does Rogue--particularly the RP-5--fall in all this? | |
Bi-wires links for speakers ? For the same dollar amount, you can buy a set of single wires and some short jumpers made from the same wire, or a double set of wires one or two steps lower down the product line of a given manufacturer. So unless there's something very special ... | |
PMC Fact 3 with hegel h160 or accuphase 350 I don't know what other brands you have access to. There are several other solid-state integrated's that are a little more "forgiving" than the Hegel, Luxman, Ayre, even Simaudio (in my experience). PMC's Fact series is also less forgiving than ... | |

Last CD player? Has the new Bryston BCD-3 reached the UK yet? I think you might find it a very synergistic match with your other equipment and, on its own terms, all the CD-player and more that you would ever want. The first reviews and responses are very posit... | |
Rockport Technologies addresses cabinet vibration? Yet Harbeth sounds just as good if not better than those speakers that are more inert than your kitchen countertops. | |
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation There's one of those right now on Agon for $4.9K and further room to negotiate. How would the bass compare between the Focus 380 and the Contour S3.4 LE? | |
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Look at full range listing on Agon today for $4K-$5K. There are a couple of pairs of Dynaudios, Acoustic Zen and Reference 3A which are all more sophisticated than the GEs, as value-for-money as those latter are new. And it would be hard to go wr... | |
Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers As watts got cheaper with ss, designers could not put as much effort into creating high imp. speakers and could also experiment with low imp. designs.But my question is: %-wise, what contributes to impedance: the overall design (enclosure, drivers... |
