| how well Quad303 amp mates with B&W dm303's ? Ideally they could use more power, although the DM303s are not super picky. I use them with an NAD 314. They sound fine with my limited expectations but sound fuller with my 75 watt amp. If the Quad's output dumps at lower impedance, that effect i... | |
| Magico/YG Both brands will be at axpona. The YG, including Carmel, did very well in the hotel room at RMAF. | |
| Less listings Less gear that I regularly search for seems to be for sale. Because the searching is so much worse now than before, its tough to say. I conclude that the obvious increase in commercial, non-hobbiest listings has displaced the more earnest ads by u... | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? KEF should have outspent for a better space at the Denver Marriott. Begs the question of what kind of room you need in order to get ten of thousands of dollars of sound out of them. I am not saying they are bad; to me they did not do well at RMAF. | |
| Your jaw dropping cables Having a jaw-dropping cable experience means the predecessor was pretty bad. | |
| Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew? Unexpectedly fixing the bottleneck in your system for $500 makes for a super day. I know I - and probably a lot of others - have had that transformational improvement going from a bad to a good preamp. | |
| What deserves more attention on Audiogon? 47 labs cables, specifically at short runs, are incredible for the money. They have been discussed but not much. They have been dismissed because of their simple design, but I think thier genius is in their rca connectors. Great tone; they replace... | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem Analysis Audio, I was told, is having 25% off for RMAF that is good until the end of this month. | |
| RMAF 2012 Postmortem I have only heard of the company peripherally before, but my big winner was YG Acoustics, especially in the Veloce room. Veloce is newer amplification company that employs a sophisticated battery system to power their hybrid amps and preamp.Also r... | |
| Retail? I would put the retail price when originally purchased and then put current price in the description. I am the type not to buy something if I think the seller is spinning any information and I check out everything before I send a stranger money. A... | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material Sorry, I meant made the same way as they were a few years ago. | |
| Flexy rack threaded rod material I agree with Tom6897. I have done the Flexy. Its simple design encourages upgrades and tweeking. Unfortunately it is not a good design and is ironically beyond improving with "upgrades" like brass rods. Ikea's lack table is much better, although I... | |
| Manufacturer checkups Thank you. Good posts. Sorry, my initial post was not very clear. My older preamp was not sent to Lamm for inspection, and I do not particularly suspect it has problem. I have wondered, though, if it is supposed to sound better. I am just too un-t... | |
| Listening Chair? My chair fits your bill, a Harvey Probber wingback chair. Not lay-z-boy comfortable, but rides low and chicks love it. | |
| McCormack DNA 1 & Hales Revelation 3...Good Match? Thank you. |
