| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? John Dunlavy told me a couple years ago that if he was not a speaker deigner he would buy Thiel. I tend to agree, they have alot of the same sound, but I'm sticking with the IVa's I have. I wish I had some extra money, this would be a great time t... | |
| help with harshness / brightness - cary 303-100 In that the Well Tempered is fine I doubt it's the room. I would try some other cd players before trying cables, this may help narrow the options | |

| Bob Bundus was wrong. Speaking of Watergate. Nixon used Wattgate outlets too. If you listen to the tapes the detail and soundstage depth is amazing! | |

| Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business John Dunlavy was the heart a soul of the Dunlavy speaker. When he left, it was only a matter of time before the reputation fell and the company closed. It was a very sad day in the audio industry when one of the top designers retired, but that is ... | |
| Aquariums and Audio Equipment I have had reef aquariums for 15 years and marine fish for ten prior to that. The issues I have had in those years are two. First noise, I would have a hard time with the noise in my present 400 gal. reef. The sump is in the basement and the tank ... | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Snook2 is right, they do take a big effort to get placement right. Once the proper location is found they are great. I set them up on the long wall, and they really need at least 18 feet of long wall as a minimum. I think 28x23 or so would be perf... | |
| amps for dunlavy sc4 I've used Aloia, Rowland, Levinson, Pass in solid state, Kora, Air Tight, Cary in tubes and three different models of Plinius. The Plinius is a fantastic match with the Dunlavy III's, IV and IVa's. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction I feel so badly that so many remain so naive. I guess some people will simply never know the truth, or simply refuse to except it. I does surprise me that people so ill informed would chose to take such passionate positions on things they obviousl... | |
| Why "splay" walls 4 custom listening room design? Clueless, I too remain clueless as to who (if anyone) actually knows the facts. Here are some random thoughts based on my personal observations and quite a bit of research and continuing education. Buildings react to the low base signals in what I... | |
| SACD BREAKING-IN EXPERIENCE................ Ben, I believe the differences between SACD and redbook after modifying my SCD-1 did indeed become less noticeable. The redbook is so good now that it's very close on initial listening. There are differences still. Better and smoother extension wi... | |
| SACD BREAKING-IN EXPERIENCE................ Hi Ben,My experience was the two formats both required 400 hours of burn in each. I was assuming it was due to the laser, but I may be wrong. The break-in was gradual. For a full depth explaination of what I heard, look at my SCD-1 review after mo... | |

| Review: Neuance Alpha & Beta shelf / Apollo Aria 455 rack Stand Hi Greg,The EAR feet would not be a great match for 50 lbs, so your thoughts are going in the right direction. Simply experiment to find a solution that works. I never found a footer that worked better than the stock "very well designed" Sony foot... |
