| Best cd version of Respighi Ancient Airs Dances Charlie, I am back. I have to ditto the recommendations for the Dorati on Mercury. | |
| are older speakers anywhere close to the new stuff? The only thing I notice with older speakers (and it is not the sound) is many more have lower power ranges for the amplifier. For example, many current B&W bookshelf speakers are rated for amps ranging 30 to 150 watts. A lot of their 80s vinta... | |

| Best cd version of Respighi Ancient Airs Dances Dan, I will be away today (Monday) but will post very late tonight or early tuesday so check back. | |
| Unobtrusive speaker cables? All the Nordost cables are flat and can be hidden. | |
| Anntenna Question Every time you spit a signal it loses strength. If you have the antenna going to every room in the house then the signal is pretty weak in each room. You need a preamplifer once you solve the no signal problem. For televisions a signal split to 2 ... | |
| Anntenna Question I agree, there is something very wrong (probably no signal). The ground is for AM. The 300 ohm is the FM; should be 2 connections. The Dipole is 300 ohm Are you sure the 75ohm is being converted to 300ohm? You need a proper adapter connected to th... | |
| Handel Water Music - best CD? - Performance Recording There are some very nice string instruments made today. They just have not had 300 years to gather a following. | |

Also they are not tuned the same. I cannot remember which way it g... | |
| B W CDM 9 NT or NAUTILUS 804's The CDM-7NT and CDM-9NT are a lot better that the CDM-7SE, which (the CDM-7SE) in my opinion is great for HT, and sucks royally for music. Back in the days of the original CDM-7 and CDM-7SE the speakers to get for music were the P5 which is equiva... | |
| Handel Water Music - best CD? - Performance Recording Those are both great picks if you like the historical instrument sound. If you want the Water Music played on modern instruments get Academy of St. Martin-in-the-fields; Neville Marriner on Argo label 414-596-2Also includes the Royal Fireworks Music. | |
| Any "tiny" DVD players ??? Do you have a computer in your room? Put one in it. | |
| Stereophile Class A For Cambridge Audio look for the discontinued A3i. It is superior to their current A500 and other offerings. The A3i was designed top to bottom by Michael Creek, so it's like getting a Creek at a big discount ($250 used). The A3i also comes with a... | |
| Stereophile Class A For a $1000 best to get a used integrated amp. You may be able to find a YBA Integre for about $1K. Maybe a Creek 5350. The 5350SE might be more since it is a new model, but the 5350R will be around $1K. Also look for a Classe CAP-100.Do not forsa... | |
| B W Matrix 803s - Tighten up the bass Better AC power cords will also tighten up bass response. |
