| Best Subwoofer for B&W 805s Speakers I've been using a Velodyne DD-10 with my 805's fora couple of years now. I'm pretty happy with it and the built in room correction software is nice to have. I think the 805's have great bass. Very tight and definedbut they lack depth. A quality su... | |
| McCormack DNA-500 I'm not sure I would call the DNA 500 warm sounding butits not cold or clinical sounding either. I really enjoyedmine. It had great control and still sounded musical. Ifound the 500 to be very responsive to power cords. Everycord I tried made a di... | |
| Nautilus 805 and signature 805 tweeter The Sig 805 is quite a bit different than the N805. It usesnew drivers as well as a different crossover. I thinkthe enclosure was changed as well. I can't comment on theN805 but I currently own the Signature 805's. They arepretty revealing of down... | |
| B&W 805D I'm wondering if the 805D will still be a monitor orwill they follow the trickle down technology of theSignature Diamond and make it a small floor stander?I guess we will find out soon enough. Keep the rumorscoming. | |
| Subwoofer Choice I have a DD-10 and really like it. My room is a bit smallerthan yours (10x10) and the DD-10 is more than enough.I thinkBob makes some good points. My one concern would be thatthe DD-12 could be too much for the room. My friend hada DD-10 and then ... | |
| $1500 bookshelf speakers with laid-back highs? Vienna Acoustics is known for a more laid back sound. Theirmonitor (the Haydn) might be what your looking for.Cmach | |
| How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp I've ran my DNA 500 through a Hydra 2 and preferred itthat way over running it straight into the wall. I noticeda slight decrease in dynamics and top end extension butthe benefits were a quieter background and a lot lesshash. The Hyrda's I had nev... | |
| Running Mac + Windows in Parallel? It sounds like you answered your own question. If all yoursoftware already runs on a Windows and your happy with it,why change?That being said the two previous posts are excellent waysto run Windows on the Mac platform and might give you the best ... | |
| CJ sound I had a CJ Premier 17LS for a few years. I would describeits sound as more laid back compared to some others inits class. It does respond well to tube rolling but eventhen it wont have that "in your face" sound.Cmach | |
| The final Act in a study in preamps the ART 3 Hi Brent,I was not even aware that CJ was making a ART 3. Whats thedifference between the ART 2 and 3? Is the ART 3 still usingthe 6922 tubes? Keep us updated. Both the ACT 2.2 and ART 3are way out of my reach but its nice to hear real worldreview... | |

| Experience on B&W N800 with Tube Amplifier One amp you might consider is the Moscode 401HR. Itsa hybrid amp that has many of the qualities of good tubeamp. I'm using it on my Signature 805's with great results.It replaced the well respected DNA 500. You can auditionit for 30days and if you... | |
| New Powersupply for Modwright owners Walersala, the cost of the upgrade was less than $500.Well worth the cost IMO. Mattybumpkin, the new PS is superior to the old one inevery category. Its not even close IMO. More detail, betterresolution, more air between instruments. The new PS ad... | |
| Conrad Johnson Act 2 series 2 First Impressions Hi Brainwater,Thanks for the in depth review. I've heard the ACT 2 onmany occassions but would love to hear the Series 2. Afterreading your report I emailed CJ and asked them if therewere any plans to offer a Series 2 for the CT5. Answer. Not at t... | |
| C-J MF2250a vs. MF2500a, any sonic difference? I have listened to the MF2500A on many occasions and itsa nice amp. The A revsion is quieter with better detail and is more transparent over the previous 2500. It's stillvery musical as you would expect with a CJ. I have notheard the 2250 but I do... |
