| CD no more produced? I'm able to pick up CD's from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Amoeba and other places. IMO CD;'s represent the best media value out there. A couple of weeks ago I picked up 3 new CD's for under $20. I'm still a fan of physical media and there is somethi... | |
| Marantz sa11 S2 - upgrade to outboard DAC? I have a Modwright Marantz SA8005 and have made some tweeks along the way to improve things. As previous posters have mentioned, fuses are a great start and relatively inexpensive. My Marantz has hard wired fuses but the Modwright PS made a nice i... | |
| Blue Circle Audio is Out of Business Sad to seem them go. Got to hear Blue Circle/JM Reynaud Offrande V2 combo at RMAF a while back. It was a great combo and really was one of the highlights of the show for me. Just wondering what happens to your Blue Circle gear now if any issues sh... | |
| PMC Speakers You may want to look at the Proac D-48R. It might tick a lot of the boxes you listed. | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Running Proac D-30R's with mine. They really work well together andits all the power I'll ever need with them. | |
| Conrad Johnson amp and Pass Labs Pre I'm currently running a CJ CT-5 with a Pass Labs XA30.8. Overall itspretty nice combo. You have a lot of options out there but the CJ/Pass combo is known to be a good fit according to the folks at CJ. | |
| The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier Greg, Lance, Teejay,Thanks for the feedback. Its much appreciated. I'm going to put the MicroZOTL on my must audition list early next year. In general I'm not a fan of OTL. The ones I've heard have amazing detail and transparency but at the cost o... | |
| The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier Hi Teajay,Thanks for the review on the MicroZOTL preamp. I have to admit I'm a bit curious. Just a quick question. How does this preamp play with moretraditional amps? I have a Pass Labs XA-30.8. Are there any issues to consider? Do you lose any ... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR If you have a dealer in your area check out the Proac D-48R. | |
| B&W 805S vs Focal 1007 BE I can't speak for the Focal's but I did own the B&W Signature 805.A great sounding speaker if you give it enough juice. I was poweringmine with a pair of Manley Snappers that had the Triode option. In Ultra-linear mode they put out 100W and al... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS Agree with Milpai. As good as the D20 is, the D-30 takes things upa notch or two. You will not be disappointed. | |
| Proac Response D30 DS Before I purchased my D-30R's I had a chance to listen to the D-20R and the D-48R's. The D-48R is wonderful. My thoughts on the D-48Ris that its plays big and effortlessly. Its very resolving but still maintainsthe musicality that Proac's are kno... | |
| Manley Snappers ... good tube monos? I had the Snappers for a while and found them excellent. If yourlooking for a laid back sound, look elsewhere. Very dynamicand punchy. Still very refined though and a terrific mid-range. Manley also has great support so if any issues should arrive... | |
| Preamp for manley snappers I had my Snappers hooked up to a CJ CT-5. Worked very welltogether and its in your price range too. The Manley 300Bwould also be near the top of my list. I never got to hear onein my system but if it sounds even half as good as it looksyou'll have... | |
| Proac D48R Milpai,I got a chuckle reading your latest post. Exactly the same issueI've been having with my D-30R's. To be fair I had the same struggleswith my B&W's as well. Nice to know I'm not alone. One tip I wouldpass along is that I have my listenin... |
