| CES 2004 Best of Show Sorry, one correction: Gilmore not Glacier Audio with the surfboard styled speakers | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show My experience may speak to Trelja's comments.While I'm a hardcore two-channel guy and have vastly more dollars invested in my two-channel setup versus HT, I thought this year represented the first time I was wooed by multi-channel. In particular, ... | |
| Aragon, Plinius, or McCormack Over the long haul, I might agree with Stehno, but point out a few things.The Thiel 2.3 is a very resolving speaker. I can definitely see its attraction, BUT I would hesitate to feed it anything but the very best electronics. I suspect if you hear... | |
| Best amp to use with ML Aeon i speakers ... You may want to try a VTL amp. They seem to work quite well with the Logans and are especially known for removing some of the sterility of the electrostatic.You may also want to look at changing the speakers versus the amps. I've heard the Aeons s... | |
| JM Labs Beryllium I've recently heard the Alto Utopias and they are impressive, but, when talking about a speaker that large and expensive, I wouldn't recommend making any decision based on comments you receive here. You really have to get them in your home and mak... | |
| Pre-amp to combo with Mccormack DNA 0.5 You should be able to get a TLC-1 for less than $500. Passives are not for everyone though. While passives are tempting to those on a tight budget, generally it's a bigger crap shoot. Definitely try both actives and passives with the rest of your ... | |
| SoundLab Millennium-3 RWD, I'm sure Duke will chime in, but I know he has his Soundlabs placed in an equally narrow spot as your situation. It works for him, but, again, he will probably give more info as to specific placement from the rear wall, room treatments, etc.Y... | |
| CJ Premier 17LS vs Sonic Frontier Line 3 As a CJ17LS owner, I can heartily recommend it. Soundwise, it's an elite performer and gives you much of the performance of the heralded CJ ART. However, there are a few caveats.I believe CJ kept the basic design of the ART, but, in order to bring... | |
| ARC 100.2 vs. D240? If you prefer the D240 with the Electras, I would negotiate the best possible deal to buy the D240 outright from your dealer. Then, you can sell your 100.2 on Audiogon and probably put money in your pocket. Dealers are notorious for giving very lo... | |
| ARC 100.2 vs. D240? I would defer to 9rw's direct experience. However, just to give you some other feedback, I've heard several ARC fans who think the D240 is the best SS amp ever made by ARC. I don't have experience with the 100.2, but I did listen to a D240MkII rec... | |
| Good power conditioner overview in TAS Jrw7You have alot of very high quality stuff and powerful amps that need alot of juice. In that vein, you're probably smart to have tried the RGPC and 20 amp BPT stuff for all your equipment versus the more current limiting types of power conditio... | |
| Good power conditioner overview in TAS I like the attempt to compare various power conditioners in a given system, but you have to be careful not to draw any absolute conclusions for your own system.First, the associated equipment used by the reviewer may be less/more high quality than... | |
| Power conditioner question While I fully believe in the benefits of power conditioning, I don't necessarily ascribe the difference in performance late at night to just power quality. There are other factors that can have a much greater impact. Rsbeck mentioned the psycholog... | |
| Classic preamp for Plinius SA-102: need advise I've heard the Plinius SA-102 with the AR LS-5, and it was definitely a winner combo. If you talk to avid AR fans, many think the LS-5 is one of the best reasonably priced preamps ever made by AR. I would agree based on my limited experience with ... | |
| Musical Fidelity X-10D No, the X-10D is not a DAC. It's just a tube buffer stage. You could just attach it after the DAC and before the preamp. However, there usually is no need for such device unless you are using no preamp or a passive one. Some poorly designed CDP wi... |
