| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas Unless the drivers are getting aged your BC-1's, I doubt you'd find much today that is significantly better than the BC-1's for your taste. In fact, your attempt at an "upgrade" could easily become a siginifcant downgrade with most speakers availa... | |

| Need your thoughts on Denon 3910 vs McCormack UDP1 Avguru, on what type of system did you A/B the UDP and Esoteric?I just recently A/B both at a local retailer and came away with the opposite impression. In particular, the bass of the UDP was much more refined with better pitch definition. The Eso... | |
| Do all sunfire subs hum and pop? I suspect the digital amp in the sub is malfunctioning. Get it checked out. | |
| Anthem AVM 30 vs. Parasound Halo C2 When dealing with high-end pre/pros, I think your decision should primarily come down to features that matter most to you.I will have an AVM 30 in my system by the weekend. It's extensive bass management features were the most appealing to me comp... | |
| Spendor Audio vs. B&W Nautilus Speakers James, I wasn't even talking about B&W speakers with that quote. I was just giving general advice unrelated to the specific B&W and Spendor comparison which I mentioned earlier in my post. Specifically, I was referring to the common miscon... | |
| Spendor Audio vs. B&W Nautilus Speakers I just installed a Spendor HT with similar speakers although I use S9 for the front channels. It's good enough to convert me from a traditional 2 channel guy to a multi-channel proponent now.I'm not a big fan of most B&W products (and there ar... | |
| Power amp to match Conrad Johnson Premier17LS The main thing to look for is an amp with a friendly input impedance, since the main tradeoff with the 17ls is its output impedance. This is especially true if you are using long ICs and/or high capacitance cables.The McCormack suggestion is good ... | |
| Best Player or DAC: ceiling $3k I'm sure the above recommendations are great, but I'll throw out another option. I just heard the Ack Dac for only about $500 and was very impressed. You could spend more, but there's little guarantee you will get better performance, especially a ... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Stehno, what is this "mechanical break-in"? | |
| Martin Logan Center Channel-make sense?? No...I doubt it would work. Even if you mix cone speaker brands, it's usually pretty obvious. Heck, even mixing different models within the same brand often causes noticeable mismatches.You should use a center that exactly matches the L/R speakers... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Nice review. However, I'm wondering if your unconditional endorsement of Granite extends to their cables and claims of using six 9 purity silver. Is that really possible??? | |
| McCormack Amps w/upgrades or other SS/Hybrids I have experience with Steve's Platinum upgrades including his new Carbon/Silver Wiring upgrade. In fact, the DNA 500 is fairly similar to my fully modded DNA .5 monoblocks, although it is in one chassis and the DNA500 does not have the two Plitro... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Stehno, here are a couple of non-perfect, but simple analogies to help explain.Take your cushy couch and put it in an automobile that doesn't have any shock absorbers. I bet you feel alot of vibrations no matter how thick the cushion is. Now, take... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? I'm sure Barry can and will respond for himself, but a few thoughts...First, I didn't read Barry's response to say his products completely protect components from "ALL vibrations".If you read carefully, he said his products ADDRESS more than just ... |
