| REL T-7 match to Kef 104/2's? i just picked up some mint condition Vandersteen 2ci's. They've solved a fair measure of the bass issue. I am also awaiting a Odyssey Audio Tempest that i bought We'll see how that mates up to the Vandies and the Stratos Monoblocs.MattMiller, i s... | |
| Kef 104/2 or Vandersteen 2ci - vintage shoot-out ZdYes these are my first Vandies.The cable I am using is internal bi-wire.I have some old school monster cable, quite thick, I will try your suggestion. | |
| Kef 104/2 or Vandersteen 2ci - vintage shoot-out thanks ZdIve hooked up my new mint 2ci's and my first impression is that i'll be selling 104/2's. They are more musically involving to my ear. I've noticed the "colored" warm sound that I've read about but i don't find it particularly offensive. I... | |

| REL T-7 match to Kef 104/2's? Also wondered if a room correction devicesuch asTacT RCS 2.0 digital equalizer/preamp would be an alternative to accomplish my bass interests. | |
| shure ME91d housing separates from body Yes its a M91ed and I'm not mess'in with you. It came with the Thorens TD160 last year along with a spare Jisco SAS replacement stylus which i understood to be superior. The SAS is very detailed but very delicate sounding. Actually the stock stylu... | |
| do i change the preamp or the speakers? Johnthe Stratos is still better but i want it to provide the same brighter characteristics of the byrston as well.also, is there such a thing as an "in line" loudness switch... i really miss that option which is offered on my lower fi NAD preamp.i... | |
| do i change the preamp or the speakers? Lowrider - i totally agree about the ability to change tubes to accomodate. In fact thats why i bought the AI... however, i just want to get it dialed-in and sit and enjoy. Question. The AI has a built-in Stand-by mode. Does that count as burn in ... | |
| Bryston, Sansui or NAD..which amp to recondition? Now I've purchased a Yamaha R9 and a set of KEF 104/2's.i like those speakers.I really appreciate how "clean" (?) the Yamaha sounds.The Sansui and the Bryston 3B seem more "colored" (?) - i actually don't mind the sound of either of them. They are... | |

| mid fi choices NAD vs Adcom vs Rotel ... $400 No, I haven't bought anything yet.I have decided to buy a NAD 2200 to start and then add either an NAD 1155 or 1300 pre. I think both components are quite desireable and can be re-sold relatively easily if i don't like them. I'm just waiting for t... | |
| How do we feel about a B&K ST 1400 for $400 Its series II if that is of any consequence. | |
| mid fi choices NAD vs Adcom vs Rotel ... $400 I.Q. TED 400's from Germany. they aren't well known. there is a test comparison from a German mag in the 90's with graphs and charts on the speakers, but i don't know what they mean. Can the performance graphs be used to assess what amp would be b... |
