To preamp or not to preamp?
I went from mega-buck CDPs and DACs ( Wadia, DCS, Chord, Audio Aero, MSB, Bel Canto ,etc ) to my all-in-one solution -> EAD 8800-Pro pre/pro. I have owned several EAD products in the past too.The EAD 8800-Pro really gives me great 2-channel son...

Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE
In a similar situation, I own the superb Mark Levinson 380S pre ( original, not upgraded ), but recently picked up a used Placette RVC for the hell of it.I have been listening back and forth for the last couple of months, listening to one for a we... 
Wadia confirm a rumour
No idea of teh rumour, but Wadia owners are fortunate to have Steve Huntley of Great Northern Sound available to do repair work - of course, his work will be billable. I have yet to hear of anyone dissatisfied with his work or has not raved about ... 
Will Bel Canto DAC-1 improve EAD CD-1000?

I have listened to many a Meadowlark at my dealers: Shearwater Hot Rods, Heron-i, Nightingales ... they are all fantastic speakers.Pat McGinty does not skimp on anything: premium drivers, premium cross-over components, first-order time-coherent de...

Would a UPS be as good as the PS power?
As a computer/network person myself, I have UPS's on all of my customers' servers. I have the APC Smart-1400 UPS which outputs a true sine-wave. I have had this on my audio gear for 1.5 years and thought my power "needs" had been met. Then I audit... 
Best front projector under $10k?
THE place to visit for Front Projector info is WWW.AVSFORUM.COM If you can live with an outboard scaler, and can hide the noisy projector, the JVD G11 D-ILA is still the best picture and does 1080i & 720P. For $11,00 you can get a G15. If you ...
