| Amp recommendation in the $6000 range Do not overlook CODA's 15.0 or 15.5. Should be just right in performance and budget. One of each is listed for sale now on Audiogon. I love mine; it lacks nothing. | |
| Tried analog yet again after decades of digital I am pretty much with Chayro. First, you need to be able to hear the difference. Second, you need to want it enough to go through the vinyl record playing regimen. For many of us who have done it for 30 years, it is second nature and takes very li... | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series Hey Bo: I seem to recall you are located in the Netherlands. I live in Florida and travel for fun to Europe yearly. It would not be difficult for my wife and me to visit your haven of sound in one of our upcoming trips. Are you in a position to of... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Thanks, Mapman. Your reply is very good, and my experience is similar. I have heard both different speakers and different speaker cables make a difference in soundstage presentation, but I think your response is what I was looking for. | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Thanks Bo. My question has nothing to do with B&W or any manufacturer of equipment. I was really trying to focus on front to back soundstage, within the realm of your experience with the 'best' results. Just wondering if I may be missing out o... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Hey, Bo: I have been following many of your different posts for a long time, and I think I know where you are coming from regarding realistic imaging and soundstage. I wanted to ask your thoughts on what I will call 'placement of stage'- in other ... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Giving it another try to help here, after re-reading your scenario. For my project, I read all the cap shootout opinions and took my chances. My beryllium tweeters really like the SGO, but I cannot say more. Absoutely zero objections.For the mids,... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Dhl: My project was really different than yours, and it is not a direct comparison at all. Sorry if I failed to make that clear.Tweeter upgrade was only drivers. I had already started with the S/G/O, so my only variable was the driver.Midrange upg... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Dhl: I have a bit of recent experience, although with a different speaker. This summer I threw caution to the wind and did some nice crossover upgrades to my Tyler Woodmere speakers. I wanted to share my results in a dedicated thread, but I wanted... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? Zd542 has given you some sage advice. One idea is to make contact with posters whose systems and music tastes appear similar to yours, and ask if they are up to a visit from you. Spending a bit of time and cash on travel may save you from expensiv... | |
| Coda vs PassLabs I have wondered the same thing. Maybe a CODA owner will one day drive to Reno Hi-Fi to do a direct comparison with all the Pass gear there. I can only say that I am extremely pleased with my CODA 15.5 amp. And the boys at CODA are a pleasure to de... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? Royj- Yes, I share your sentiments. This audio hobby provides strong attraction for several rather extreme personality types. Uh, I guess this is a good time to admit that I am one of them. Getting past the hardware and technology is very difficul... | |
| Good Subwoofer recommendations I had Tyler custom-fabricate a really nice subwoofer for me two years ago. Fits the bill perfectly, and the finish matches my Woodmeres. |
