| Levinson No. 383 v. Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 I would listen to people who have used these amps with your speakers. There is so much variation in how components synergize together that you should probably listen to those who have similar components and speakers to you. To be consistent I will... | |
| SACD/DVD-A and 2-channel recordings I might have been a little sloppy in my language use when I used the term "layer" instead of "mix". It appears that atleast for SACD's, there will always be a newly mixed 2 channel SACD version even when there is also a multichannel version. Thank... | |
| SACD/DVD-A and 2-channel recordings Bomarc: What I think I correctly understood from my friend, is that Sony mandated that every SACD recording or remaster have a dedicated 2-channel SACD version, not just a regular redbook version. If I understood that correctly, and if that is tru... | |
| SACD or DVD Audio, which one is winning the race? I have heard that all SACD relaeases will contain a remasterd 2- channel SACD layer regardless of whether they are multichannel recofdings or not. Does anyone know if this is true and if DVD-A will do the same thing?Thanks, | |
| What to power Thiel 2.4 speakers? I used to own the 2.3's. I first drove them with a Sonic Frontiers Power-1 (55W tube amp) and then a McIntosh MA 6900 (200W Solid State integrated). Both sounded excellent. Different, but excellent. Always take quality over quantity. As much quali... | |
| Perpetual Technologies P1,P3, and Monolithic PS I owned this Trio for 6 months. My P3A had been modded by Dan Wright and I had the speaker correction softwarre for my Thiel 2.3's. I ended up selling the lot because after several months of listening I just did not like it. On my system, in my ro... | |
| Commentary on McIntosh Digital Products? I own the MCD 205 changer and the MA 6900 integrated. I love both pieces. The 205 gives me all I want from my redbook collection. I may add a SACD player at some point but I have been very satisfied with my 205 (great PRAT!). | |
| What CD burner? I use the NAD C660 dual tray cd burner. I cannot tell the difference between the original and the copy. | |
| Best Integrated amp for under 4k I third the recommendation for the McIntosh MA 6900. Has it all and can drive virtually anything. | |
| Preamp or CD Player for Best Sonic Improvement CD Player. | |
| Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment.. I owned and loved my Thiel 2.3's. I used a Sonic Frontiers Power tube amp to power them. They sang. I recetnly sold them because I don't have room for them in my new home. I am considering the Thiel PCS or Powerpoints (and a sub) now. Just to give... | |
| Suggestions for a monitor speaker Thiel PCS. Always listen before you buy. | |
| Anyone have any experience with in-wall speakers? I have heard good things about Thiel Powerpoints (on-wall) and Thiel Powerplanes (in-wall). Also, There are some great little speakers that are meant to be used with a computer. Monsoon makes a set-up that includes a pair of desk-top planar monito... | |
| Question for Ex-Maggie Owners If I had my choice, I would own a pair of the new 3.6's -- I heard them again at my dealer the other day, and my mouth just watered......I just don't have the space for them in the one place in my house where I can put my stereo. Its not that I ha... | |
| Integrated or Separates? I second the recommendation for MAC 6500. Great sounding unit. |
