| B&K ST-202 and St-202+ model differences? Mtandrews,I have the non-plus ST-202 and it has the gold-colored graphics and rack handles. I recently pick this unit up and was curious to know if other ST-202 owner experience them running very hot. My fins on the back are too hot to touch. Does... | |
| Looking for High Efficiency Sat/sub System I don't mean to thread-jack, but I've been eyeballing the Mirage OMD-5s. Like Stonedtemplepilot, I've been looking for the best full-sounding, small footprint speaker to place in my 2.1 bedroom system. I'd like a full range sound at low levels. Th... | |
| Arcam CD-92 -- good value used? Pete,I don't want to rain on your parade, but I purchased CD-92(non-T version) hoping it would replace my Cambridge D500se. Well, it didn't. I spent about the same you are for yours(great deal!). I was hoping it was going to sound much better than... | |
| What is the best sounding HDCD? Timrhu,I owned a Cambridge Audio CDP that could decode HDCD, but the indicator light was burned out, so I never knew what CDs I listen to had this capability unless I paid close attension to the liner notes/disc. I never sought out HDCDs nor thoug... | |
| Is the Adcom GFP-750 really that good ? I would tend to agree with Plato and Daltonlanny on the sound of the 750. I had a $200 passive Creek OBH-12 that was awesome sounding! It even had a remote. I would have kept it except there were only two inputs. I liked it so much I thought passi... | |
| Odyssey Stratos, McCormack DNA 225 or Bryston4BST? Canucks,For the money you can't beat a Stratos. Given the other amps you're looking at I'd consider the Odyssey Dual Mono(true dual mono with two PSs and two PCs) or for even a few dollars more the Mono Blocks. I'm a very satisfied Stratos owner a... | |
| odyssey loudspeakers... I don't have the Epiphony that you are asking about, but I have the Nightingales. I am extremely impressed with the sound quality these Odyssey speakers produce, especially for their size and price. I can second Tsugury thoughts on sounding bigger... | |
| Fancy wall plugs? I'm a novice with power conditioning. So if I understand this correctly, I can replace my standard Leviton wall outlet, that was wired into my house 30+ years ago, and may/should hear improvement in my sound? My amp, pre and CDP are all directly c... | |
| what preamp for Paradigm Studio 60/Odyssey Stratos The Paradigms require some power to get them sounding good. Placement can make a big differnce too. They need room to breath.I've been using the signal power cords on my amp and my CDP and it seems to help. I made some other system changes around ... | |
| what preamp for Paradigm Studio 60/Odyssey Stratos Fishcall,Disclaimer: I'm selling my pre-amp...... but that's not why I'm responding. I too have/had the 60s v2 matched with the Stratos and enjoyed the sound very much. I just sold my 60s because I wanted to replaced them with the Odyssey Nighting... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Although not in Cincy. I'm just up the road in Cowtown, but would be willing to take part in something. Keep me in the loop. | |
| Matching an amp to speakers for beginners? Petequad,You mentioned Odyssey and that is a great way to go. I'm one of many happy Odyssey owners. Klaus is a great guy to deal with. If you haven't called him I'd do so. He won't steer you wrong or recommend products that won't fit your needs. H... | |
| Replace my Cabridge 500se w/Arcam 72? Tunes4Me,Thanks for the response! Did you do a head-to-head comparison between these two units? Can you give me more detail as to what differences you noticed? Thanks a bundle! | |
| Thiel 1.5 vs. Paradigm Reference Studio 60 I own the Studio 60s v2 and originally powered them with a 110W Yamaha receiver for HT. I am really not much of a movie watcher and have since ditched the receiver for a 150W Odyssey amp. What a difference in two channel listening! The 60s are on ... | |
| Cambridge D500se display bulbs burned out Thanks Sugarbrie. I'll give them a call. I think I e-mailed them once regarding the remote and never received a response, but now that I have a number I'll call. Anybody else have suggestions or experiences with this??? |
