| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Sean- Regarding the Stereophile confirmation that new gear is getting worse.....Please remember and concider this from a magazine that is also "getting worse."

| Best midrange on SS amp ? Audiogabby,Give a listen if you can to the Plinius amps. SA 100's or 102 series. Their use of NPN rather than PNP devices are more linear and better sounding tham most SS designs which use PNP output devices. These amps are noted for thier tube li... | |

| Whats the Story w/ Headphones? I like the Stax 2020...I was very impressed as it was real close to the 3030 in sound. I got them here on the Gon for $425.00 and bought the 16' extension cable used for 35.00, I thought it was quite a bargian. Detail, resolution and warmness with... | |
| Amp On or Off? I'll share my opinion here..I know Iv'e previously mentioned it in some thread somewhere...It really does add up to your priorities, and wheather or not you want,can or should leave it on continously is a matter of choice. I have been around many ... | |

| ARC LS-5MKIII or ARC LS-25MKII Steve- I used Tungsrams in my LS15 for about a year.In a word...detail,detail and more detail. VERY transparent tube with excellent bass. BUT... They are not as sweet and warm in mids and highs. I put Siemens gold pin 7308's recently and feel they... | |
| Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect... I can second Auaarons recommendation of Transparents Super Balanced XL. I just put in a lenghty run from my ARC ls15 to my Plinius SA 100Mkll and what a stunning difference over my MIT rca cable..Big time bass and soundstage, smooth mids and highs. | |
| What are the Do's & Donts on Hi Fi components Most digital players are best left on continuously. My Wadia 23 manual highly recommends this. They state that it takes 72 hours after initial turn on for the circuts to fully settle and regulate from cold turn on to sound optimal. Current draw is... | |
| Buzz through speakers w/amp on & pre off A ground loop is a voltage potential difference between components usually caused by running equipment off several different outlets..i.e one outlet for amp, and the other for components. The fix is to lift the ground, or put all on the one AC sou... | |

| Totem hawk or Gershman Chameleon? Try to audition the VSA VR2 speaker. For less money they deliver the goods. Deeper bass, very transpatent, and wider sweet spot.Stunning dynamics. I prefered them over the Totem's. It will be worth your effort....Ken | |
