| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? 08-17-10: GloryI am to wait for 200 hrs. to really hear the Plex, so I am told.200 hours to burn in an outlet? How on earth can you attest to differences between outlets at such length---not like you are doing A/B testing.Keith | |
| Spectral preamps Spectral is to be used in a complete system. You really have to go all or none.I was going to try a Spectral preamp as well---but its just not an optimal setup without the amps.There are benefits to this---but the big problem is if you decide to c... | |
| Zu def 2 bass amps I think you need to look at your room before exploring that option. Most likely the problem lies there. | |
| NIN Pretty Hate Machine remaster its on its way to me...will post once i put it to work. very excited about this release! | |
| Downsizing from Ayre MX-R monoblocks Maybe a Rowland Concentra 2. Sounds similar to the Ayre. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 I keep coming back to The Arcade Fire---Suburbs. Just a superb piece of music (wish it wasn't so compressed though). | |

My pro audio friend completely agreed. We both preferred the C1s in my roo... | |
| Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1 I had C1s on 200 watt McIntosh and the power guards went off. ymmv, but i think they need power. | |
| Best value amplifier under or near $6K The BAT 75SE worked great with my Sophias---there was one for 3500 which is a steal.VTL 450s if you want monos sound great as well. | |
| The Social Network big fan of the soundtrack as well--definitely going to order. | |
| new mgmt album congratulations The fact you compare this to Pink Floyd or the Beatles is even more ridiculous. Which PF or Beatles album didn't have one real single on it? Sorry, we can agree to disagree.I don't want Time to Pretend 2 either---but i want coherant, well thought ... | |
| new mgmt album congratulations I'm sorry, I think this album is garbage and the excuses they make for these guys are ridiculous. Will see if they can resurrect themselves on the next one. | |
| Muse Live missed them at Coachella this year, but yes, hear they are a great show. | |
| Magico Q5 Razmika- what's wrong with high end McIntosh?btw, wasn't the Q5 announced at 50k at CES? Or is now that Valin says its the greatest speaker of the world the price is now 60k. Yawn, so typical of this industry these days. |
