| JPS Labs versus Audio Quest (Megasam?) They are definitely overated. Big bass! No Depth and soundstage...flat! Tonal balance neutral fortunately | |
| Anyone familiar with the EAR 834L Preamp I have owned one for a short period of time. People and reviews say that the phono and line stage sounds good. The phono is really dark sounding and it turned me off. I tried a variety of tubes on it with on avail. Line stage is passive....nothing... | |
| Does silver speaker wire sound bright? Definitely go all silver. The miscnception of silver sounding bright is because most so called silver cables are only silver plated on the outside. These cables definitely sound bright. However pure silver cables are more relaxed and liquid soundi... | |
| Does anyone know... They are called something like " tekna" available at Audio Advisor. | |
| Modify Audio Research to 220Volts This can be easilly done by a certified technician. The transformer has extra taps that can be rewired for 220v capability. I had a ARC classic 60 110v that I converted to 220v for my dad abroad. Please do not attempt to do it yourself unless you ... | |
| Totem Arro Great speaker. Great sound for the price. I have heard them play in a couple CES shows and man it amazes me as well as others in the room. One small drawback.... it doesn't play very loud....loud enough but not quite. in a small to mid size room s... | |
| Totem Model 1 w/ NAD c340 amp? As far as I am concerned, I have a friend who owns the same speaker you're planing on buying. From his experience, the M1's are a very fussy speaker and needs a good amp to drive them properly before sounding good. These speakers are not very effi... | |
| should I biwire??? Definitely with the PSB speakers. I have lots of experience with PSB silvers and the Gold i's. They like to be bi-wired. You will notice an explosion of detail. I used 2 runs of Kimber 8TC's which is true bi-wire...Amazing. You can use either term... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Between Maggies and the Hales, I would pick the Hales. It all depends on what you prefer or look for most in the sound. Thd Hales will give you a more balanced sound reminicent of the real performance. Maggies on the other hand are very transparen... | |
| hales,dunlavy,legacy,dynaudio,Etc.HELP Definitely the Dunlavy. I own a pair of SC-4 latest edition pre 4A. These speakers are absolutely fabulous. I have auditioned B&W N801, N802, Hales T5 and T8, Wilson Watt Puppy 6.0 with much better equipment than mine. No doubt I like them all... | |
| Paradigm Studio or PSB Stratus? PSB by far! I have owned the PSB silvers then the Goldi's. These speakers are nothing short of awsome and will recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who are interested. These speakers are very accurate and uncoloured. Imaging, soundstage, bass a... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV v B&W Nautilus 802's I would personally pick the SC-IV over the N802. DAL are amp friendly while the N802 are power hungry and need to playde very loud. I heard the N801 and 802 powered w/ Levinson stuff and when played at moderate levels, the soundstage collapsedl li... |
