B&W 805D alternatives I agree with James633 for the Vivid v1.5 I have them...have had many dynamic and planar speakers....combine best of both with natural, unboxy, detailed but coherent sound...best speakers I have had...have had them for 3 years ...I would only upgra... | |
Linn Sondek phono cable I have had good luck with the AQ leopard...might also consider crystal cable as they are flexible and very low mass... | |
Large Room which speakers? If I had a large room I would go with Legacy Audio Helix or Whispers or the Magnepan 20.7...I don't though :( | |
Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000 Vivid audio v1.5. May not pass the WAF but is the best speaker in your range I have had many monitors prior Focal Benesch Proac B&w. Nice about the Vivid is stand is integrated | |
Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? look for a marantz ST-17...they pop up once in awhile....may be around 250-300...really well made, reliable and sounds very good... | |
Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC On the same note as NONOISE...I prefer the Marantz sound over the OPPO 105. Much more like music than hifi...with the sa8004 or 8005 or sa-11s3.you have the added flexibility of digital inputs (no DSD for 8004 or sa-11s3...yet) including iPod ...I... | |
advice on dedicated line Elizabeth is correct,,,there is really no need for more than one 20 amp line and you are looking for grounding issues otherwise even some manufacturers discourage it | |

replace my Focal Electra 1038 , please advice In your range i would really consider Vivid audio B1 speakers...I replaced my Focal Micro BE with a v1.5 2 years ago and astounded at the performance. Much more coherent but still very revealing...more like live music. I have had many brands of sp... | |
Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I had always enjoyed my LP12 for almost 20 years. Nothing else did it for me until I heard the AVID turntables. I have a Volvere Sequel now. AVID have the ability to give you midrange depth of a suspended TT and also have the pace, timing, and fre... | |
Playing Sirius/iPod Sorry. Sa 8004 to replace your current CD player. I use an sa 11 s3 with my iPod touch or iPhone to stream Sirius into the USB connection in front of the player. I used to use an sa 8004 but consolidated my sa 7 and 8004 to get sa 11 s3. Another o... | |
Playing Sirius/iPod You do not need a Sirius antennae . Just add Sirius Internet service. I would then consider getting SA 8004 to replace your current CFO. If that is not possible get a HRT iStreamer for the IPod | |
Cartridge I'd look at Grado....gold is 220 with 5mv output the statement platinum wood body is 350 at .5mv may not have enough output |
