Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? Mr. Tabu (Pierre)I usually let things go on these forums to voice opinions.But when someone makes false accusations about my product, that is when I set the record straight.According to my records you purchased (1) cable from BMI Cables. Your purc... | |
Pass Labs X350 vs Mac 402 Vs Theta Enterprise vs., I Currently own (3) brand new McIntosh MC402 amps and love them all ! | |
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP20 Users The Pass Labs XP-20 is more than marginally better than the XP-10. At this level it's a game of inches and subtle improvements. But they all matter and up and make a "BIG Improvement". I compared the two on all aspects (XP-10 $5200) vs (XP-20 $860... | |
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP20 Users Hey the XP10 is no slouch either. The XP20 just brings a bit more to the table in definition and bass dynamics.I probably don't even have 20-hrs of listening time under my Pass XP-20. But I did notice initial breaking in the first several hours. P... | |
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP20 Users I recently bought a brand new Pass Labs XP-20 preamp. Have to say honestly this is the most transparent and superb resolution of any preamp out there for under $10K. Not really any tips other than make sure to use an excellent power cable with the... | |
Marantz SA-1 or Krell 300cd for redbook playback? The Marantz SA-1 is the best designed & built sacd/cd player ever by Marantz and possibly by any other manufacturer. If you ever see the schematics and design layout inside of a Marantz SA-1 it's like a complicated Patek Phillipe watch. As for... | |
McIntosh MC402 Burn in Period ? Very Impressed The McIntosh MC402 is an incredible power amp. Very well balanced and superbly true to the music. Owning several power amps the McIntosh MC402 I will never ever let this power amp go. Simply magic and coherently wonderful sounding. This amp does e... | |
Top Ten Speakers of All Time? It's very hard to list a top ten speaker of all time. Too many price points, sizes, personal tastes and etc... But from a dollar to dollar perspective my pick is clearly the Dunlavy SC-IV signature series. Nothing I mean nothing can touch these sp... | |
"Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K There are a few but B&W Nautilus 800N is a steal under $10K preowned. One of the world's best speakers out there, regardless of price. I even prefer the B&W Nautilus 800N over the brand new 800D. Just a matter of taste at this level betwee... | |
B&W Nautilus 800 vs 802D Put it this way everyone; whatever B&W speaker you may choose or own such as B&W 802D, N800, Signature 800, 800D ... etc. All are fine choices; you can't lose.I will be listening to a little Art Blakey jammin on drums tonight.ENJOY. | |
B&W Nautilus 800 vs 802D First of all I currently own both the N800 and Signature 800, they are the same exact speaker other than cabinetry.I have one pair at my Jersey shore house and the other at my main estate. *Here is the little passage quoted from Stereophile's June... | |
B&W Nautilus 800 vs 802D There is no comparison. The N800's are tremendous in all aspects. The 802D's are in essence N802's with a mod diamond tweeter which in fact is harsher and not as natural sounding. The Nautilus 800 was the flagship of B&W. The new series with t... | |
B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass? I beg to differ Lawyerman.B&W 800N (Nautilus speakers) are incredible speakers! They give you all the bass and dynamics that one would ever need.The B&W Nautilus 800 Needs the right equipment. At this level there is no room to take shortcu... | |
Which Threshold s are best? Lawyerman I agree with you on the Threshold SA/4e amp. By the way I will be selling some of my personal Threshold gear to downsize a bit.Including Threshold SA/4e and Threshold SA/1's if interested. | |
Threshold amps Stick with the Pure Class A Threshold amps.*The SA series.Owning just about every Threshold amp ever made since 1978the SA series are clearly the best sounding amps. I still own about 15 Threshold pieces.The Best sounding Threshold mono block amps... |
