| Is the NAD 3020 the best value of all time? I thought the NAD had much better weight and magic tone, where the Nait was more detailed but sterile and thinish,no suduction effect at all,think paper-airplane... I don't know what the big deal is with the naits,I have good sources and many spea... | |
| Older Altec horn speakers "There are far better speakers from that era than the 890C."Please tell! | |
| Quicksilver monoblock amp stands. Well,I tried short speaker cables.about 18".It did not sound better in any way at all,that I could tell.So much for that theory.You never know,its good to check things like this out. to see for yourself.Thanks for the recomendations. | |
| Review: NAD 3020 Receiver The NAD 3020's Tone is what makes it so good.The tone is right/pleasing. Better than most amps... old or new,and it's dynamics are just great. It does not sound all HIFI. With good source and cables it still kicks a**It's smooth too, unlike a lot ... | |

| Quicksilver amp owners I know nothing about replacing parts,I do have some PIO caps in my ASL 1003DT integrated and its a keeper.I personally don't think the Quicksilvers lack, so I wouldn't change anything.Maybe talk to Mike about oil caps,I would be interested in hear... | |
| Quicksilver amp owners Pulled out the KT-88's and tried some SED El-34's. Much better voices,this is a great tube for the Quickies. Richness now, that was missing with Lions,everything else great too.Nice dynamics as well. 3D liquid sound.These will stay in for awhile..... | |
| Quicksilver amp owners They sounded lean and mean,no kidding. Even after a 60 hours break in, most likely the amp and tubes didnt jive well together,I just put them in the Quicksilvers,to early to have much to say. I did notice some more power. Not as edgy and lean as w... |
