Any thoughts on the PS Audio 200C amplifier
Any thoughts as which would be the better of the 2 amps, Adcom 555II or the PS 200C? I have the opportunity to get a 200 but have never heard one. I would hate to buy one and not hear any big differences!Appreciate any input. 
Which preamp to pair with Moon W5 amplifier?
Hello,If you can get your hands on the P5 they go together like hand in glove! Prior to buying it I used a Proceed Pre, Classe DR6, Plinius CD LAD, and Audio Research LS15. All of them sounded pretty good because the W5 is fairly easy to mate up w... 
Best sounding player under $3500 Used ?
I have had too many cd players to list! The best that I have heard to date has been the Meridian 508.24. It does everything right! It beat out my Levinson 37 that I used to have. With this unit you stop anaylizing the music and just sit back and e... 
Upgrade my integrated or use it as a pre?
Hello,I used to have a Krell 300iL(intergrated). I ran an Audio research preamp through the unit and got great results. It sounded much better than the Krell's pre section. 
Best power for 10,000
Linar Audio 250. This unit is made by Victor Sima from SimAudio. He claims that this is his best amp to date. If you go the www.linaraudio.com you can read and see the quality of this amp. It will out perform amps costing 3 to 4 times their price.... 
need help - Cd players
Hello,I would also suggest the Cal Delta. You could probably get a SigmaII and Delta for that price. They are good units and for that price they will give most units a run for the money! 
Meridian 588 CD performance & operating concerns
Hello,The 588 does not even stand up to the 508.24. Ever since Meridian incorporated the "plastic tray" the sound has been down hill. The 508 out shines the 588! If you had the opportunity to back to back them like I had, you could hear the differ... 
Which CD Players Are both Warm and Detailed
Hello,I agree with Thorman, Meridian 508.24 or 506.24. Basically the same, variations of a theme. Smooth, detailed, airy, fast, great voices and strings. This unit was made with jazz in mind! 
Audio Research...
The silver or black face is just a matter of preference. Personally, the silver face is harder to scratch, if by some reason that should happen. 
Is Audio Research Corp alive and well?
They still seem to be alive! I made a phone call about two weeks ago from the number on their site. I am ordering a remote, so there are still live bodies there! 
What Tube preamp for NADC370 ? please
Hello,If you can find an Audio Research pre in that price range you won't be dissapointed. I have had more amps and pre-amps that is allowed by law, and AR does if for me. I recently purchased some Oval Nines and now my system is for the most part... 
Tubes plus SS
I have had a wild hair for a tube pre-amp for quite some time. The deal was closed when I went to a pawn shop and found an Audio Research LS15 for $600!! I have to order a remote for the unit, otherwise it is in perfect condtion. I am using a Arag... 
Amps for Martin Logan SL3
I used to have a pair of Martin Logan SL3s and Aerius speakers. I ran a Linn 5105 amp that did a real nice of pushing them effortlessly. I also used a Krell KAV 500 amp that didn't do well for some reason. At that time I was using a Jeff Rowland C... 
Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED
Can you say: Jeff Rowland? If you want musical truth, detail, air, soundstage, imaging, and engaging involement in the music, Jeff Rowland. "And that's all I have to say about that!" 
Need advise on pre amp/amp combo with JM Lab Mini
A very good amp that does everything right from a-z is the Aragon. It is made by Mondial, the same company that has their fingers in Mark Levinson and Proceed. Top notch quality with bullet proof equipment. You could drop this unit off the roof of...
