| Review: Fritz Carrera BE speakers I had Emerald Physics CS 2.7 (original design) speakers. Before that I owned CS 2.3 and CS 2 speakers and thought I would never move away from OB speakers. The CS 2.7 speakers sounded great, but were too large for my room and my wife asked if ther... | |
| Best Multi-channel amp also good for 2 channel I would suggest that you get a processor that sounds good for HT and multi-channel music, and get a separate 2-channel pre-amp with a HT passthrough for 2 channel critical listening. You can find a good used 2-channel preamp with the HT passthroug... | |
| Bel Canto S300 vs Channel Islands D-100 I have heard the D-200's and the S300 amps and both are excellent. However, the D-200's would clip when an electrical appliance would kick on in my house and I never had that happen with my Bel canto amps. I am currently running Bel Canto Ref 1000... | |
| Ayre K-5xe / tube preamp s comparisons? I own one an Ayre P-5xe that was part of Ayre's first runs. I sent it to Ayre to have it upgraded to XE status. The P-5xe phono stage sounds full range with exceptional micro and macro dynamics. When I bought a ZYX Artisan to achieve optimal syner... | |
| come on guys I need help This is such a personal and system dependent suggestion, but I have been very happy with my Signal Cable Silver Resolution cables for a combination of smooth sound and excellent detail through the complete audio range. | |
| ModWright SWL 9.0SE or TAD-150 signature? I have not compared the Modwright SWL 9.0 SE to the TAD-150, but I have compared it with a Cary SLP-2002 (an excellent preamp), Musical Fidelity A-308 Integrated, Perreaux Randiance 200i (world class integrated), and Blue Circle BC21.1 with a Shal... | |

| Best Integrated All-tube Amp? I was the first person to respond on this thread and I just checked back to see that many other people have provided some useful and helpful information. I am more familiar with solid state gear and my Jolida 302B is my first experience with a pur... | |
| Best Integrated All-tube Amp? I love my Jolida 302B (Level 1 upgrade from Parts Connexion). I did a lot of tube rolling and ended up with two 1950's GE 12AX7 tubes, two NOS Phillips PQ 12AT7 tubes, and four NOS Japanese Ratheon EL34 tubes that I liked better than Mullards. The... | |
| Jolida 100 cdp When I first tried tube swapping I tried several tubes and I narrowed it down to either the Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7 tubes or Mullard CV4004 tubes. I ended up choosing the Mullards and I have run them for over a year without a desire to swap ... | |
| A level-1 mod Jolida JD100 or Arcam FMJ CD23 I have a level 1 mod from Walter and I am thrilled with the performance. The biggest improvement I noticed was in the mid bass and lower end extension. The sound is warm, yet detailed. The Jolida has a very full range sound with frequency extensio... | |
| OL silver vs. Clearaudio Unify I have a Shelter 901 mounted on an OL Silver arm and I am very happy with the combination. Just be careful of a fully suspended table if you do not have adequate isolation. | |
| Is anyone using Signal Cable interconnects/cables? Every cable in my system was done by Signal Cable. I purchased many of my cables prior to Frank founding Signal Cable. Frank is very knowledgable and takes pride in the fact he can provide excellent quality products at affordable prices. I can who... | |
| Which Integrated? I just got a Musical Fidelity A308 Integrated and I could not be happier. It took the last bit of grain out of my Monitor Audio Silver 8i's and it unlocked details that I had not previously heard on some of my recordings. I bought a new one from U... |
