| Are Wilson speakers You must be willing to spend a lot of time with speaker location experimentation with the 3/2's to make them sound their best. And I mean as little as a 1/8" difference in toe in (comb filtering) or placement of the Watt on the Puppy. FYI, setting... | |
| Audio Research LS-25 MK1 Owners I had a LS-25 MK.I and found the bass response to be exceptional. Is it a new unit? Have the tubes settled in as of yet? Might get a bit fuller response after a couple of hundred hours on the tubes? Also you might try the Sovtek NOS 6H23 as a tube... | |
| How good is a Wadia Reference 8 Transport? I had a Wadia 8 for a number of years and used it with several DACs. Have not compared it directly to any others transports past or present expect my current Mark Levinson Model 31. The ML #31 was significantly better in all areas especially resol... | |
| Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there? I agree with Brainwater...... ESP Concert Grand has been a very enjoyable speaker in my system. | |
| Manley reference preamp vs levinson 38 for s/state I do not have any experience with the Manley, but I once owned a ML 38S. IMO it was a very colored pre-amp and was a disapointment sonically in my system. I still have other ML components (31.5 transport) in my system that I am very happy with, bu... | |
| Best SET Compatible Speakers, $4k-6k used Both are rare finds these days, but the ESP Bodhran or the Brentworth Type III are each over 100 db and are world class loudspeakers in the right system/room. | |
| Question for BAT Pre-Amp owners w/ P10 phono card? Yes, you are correct Ed, it is the P3 phono card not the P10. Could i just use say a mono interconnect. I have a couple of cheapo patch cords around. If I put one end of the mono inteconnect in the right channel phono imput and the other end in le... | |

These make music.Magnan Signature interconnects- Yes vacuum cleaner hose I know, but very underated products that balances... | |
| CJ ART / ARC Ref 2 audition The VT-200 is lean and cold? LS-25 Shrill? I have found neither to be the case. Levinson too neutral? Didn't know anything could be too neutral? Were the Wilson's properly set up? FYI, +/- 1/8" (or less) toe in or on time alignment issues makes a ... | |
| Thinking about a VK-50SE Pre-amp? Any opinions Thanks everyone for the input. Sounds like the VK-50SE is a winner. That is what I was afraid of. Now the hard part ($$$) I have yet to hear a bad thing about BAT as a company either and that is important to me. I know the warranty is not transfer... | |
| rc 1 resilient channel used in room I have built a dedicated room from scratch using this method as reccommended by ASC. Luckly I found a drywall guy who was experienced with the RC-1 so it went up pretty fast. Two layers of 1/2" sheet rock. Using the adhesive instead of the ASC dam... | |
| Help with ESP Concert Grands I recently purchased a used pair from Audiogon. I have watched the used market very carefully on this speaker for sometime as I had heard special things about this product. Also, I am on a limited audio budget and try to maximize my "bang for the ... | |
| Audio Research service Depends on who you work with there IMO. Terry Dorn is extremely pleasant and helpful. Not sure if he is still with ARC, as I dealt with him a couple of years back. Anyway, he was great. I have had mixed experiences with others there on some warran... | |

| Martin Logan Aerius i problem I had a similar problem with the original Aerius model. Not sure about the "I" version, but the panels are easily removable and can be swapped to the other channel by knocking out the rails from the bottom and unplugging the lead wires to the pane... |
