It's funny how records are still best.
I dont think it's that much of a PITACleaning a record with machinebtakes two mins, only needs to be done once per record. I listen to CDs for backgroud music, and vinyl when I really want to pay attention. Yes, have to change side after 20-25 min... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,No need to respond - I read your system notes and I see that you cross over at 80hz. 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Thanks Raul,I must have missed that part of the thread. Thanks! It does make sense.You say:"we use subwoofers not only for a better and extended low bass but for a better midrange/midbass too. So, the frecuency crossover will be over that 40Hz"I a... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Hi Raul,Thanks for your comments about how to hook up the 2 subs in stereo - it makes sense, just send one channel to each sub (either RCA, XLR, or high level).However, your response did give me another question...It appears as though you advocate... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Hello Raul and others,I understand that you advocate using stereo subs.My question is this: Can you provide detailed instructions on how to hook up two subs in stereo? For low level hookup - Do you send only 1 channel RCA cable to each sub?Can you... 
Preamp after Manley Steelhead?
"The Steelhead got rave reviews as a pre-amp in Stereophile."You say that like it means something 
Tube pre to mate with a Simaudio amp and Dynaudio
Agree about the Hovland... Heard it with Dyn S25s and a sim w5 a few times... perfect combination. I own a supratek syrah, though, and it is also perfect for dyn and sim, but you must wait if you want one 
Revel Salon and Plinius SA102
LOL Are you Kidding? "i believe the plinius is class A..." so you're making a prejudgement? The Plinius 102 Owns - Yeah the plinius is 125W at 8 ohms, doubles down to 4 ohms to 250 and is MEGA CURRENT Class A design. The current is more important ...

Test CD for positioning speakers and subwoofer

Most "Ruthlessly Revealing" Speakers. Your opinion
"ruthlessly revealing" isn't necessarily an oxymoron. A pair of speakers can be incredibly revealing and "ruthlessly" display any flaws of upstream components. Of course, this may/may not be a good thing, depending what type of electronics/other c... 
ZYX RS20 vs Denon DL103
with a 47K load on my supratek Syrah, my denon 103R sounds like ass. Very thin sounding. Pushing this down to 100ohms makes it sound MUCH better. More body. I would look into upgrading turntables before upgrading cartridges. Even a Rega P3 with an... 
Best Rock Cartridge for Rega $600
HANDS DOWN Denon DL103R, available from Audiocubes @ $250. HOWEVER - I don't know what the phono is like in your preamp. Is it just a MM phono? If so - You'll need to find a step up tranny - should be able to find one and stay in budget. We're tal... 
Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox
I own the JD100 (various NOS tubes, mullards greats many 5751s great, new varieties are probably fine too) and have spent a LOT of time with Sim amps and cd products...Definitely disagree with the poster who commented above about a tube lover not ... 
I want profoundly better bass
