Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2
Any of these great speakers need great ancillaries,in order to get the speakers to "sound" up to their capabilities.In other words you will have great speakers to build around. Don't expect to much from what you have now.Shoot the messenger,if you... 
Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby?
For me 1956. I bought my first mono "hi fi" separates: amp.Granco tuner/ and a garrad tt. and a big Norelco speaker with an 18" woofer.--Bought from Pedrini Music in Alhambra,Ca.on the lay-away program. 
Who is using passive preamps and why?
I think the WHY is pretty basic. After following basic steps re.length of ics;the sound is as pure as anything you could imagine; at their cost.---(They are cheap compared to most active pres.) 
A headache of choice over CD player
It ain't mine and it is a tad over budget but there is a Meridian 808-i2 in the used ads. I would say it is probably a notch above most anything.--Except maybe the 75k Scarlatti stack. 
Processor Upgrade from Onkyo 885
Having owned the 875 I can tell you it is a swell unit. Might be your speakers or speaker wire. Onkyo makes great SS receivers in spite of the price. In the price category they are the best to me. 
I posted here cause you guys really are the best
Dear Mr. 52355; I may not have been a contributor but I love your story. So many times we take our health and wellness without much thought. AND, we all love people whom love music. Music is a big force in my life as it is for many here. Enjoy the... 
Piggy back conditioners?
I finally talked to John and he says plugging one into the other has no ill effects whatsoever. I also talked to Dan whom is part of the build team and he says the same.So anyway; seems the newer t versions are a whole lot better, and the price on... 
Best of XLR cable?
I got me one of them there 808-i2's. Just got mine a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I already had the Tara--Zero. When I put the Zeros in play I could hardly believe how much difference a cable could make.I use the dac/pre functions then strai... 
Piggy back conditioners?
Well somehow I just knew others are forced to do this thing. Of course I hate folk whom have nothing to ad to a thread beyond grammar/ word usage,correction. Never got past the 3rd grade and it shows,I know.Now on to my battle with these condition... 
Cable Tv Box HDMI vs Digital Coaxial Cable Audio
I will support Blindjim re. more expensive hdmi cables. I'm using a 3mt hunk TWC gave me. I compare that to a few I bought here ,such as WireWorld and a few other pricey cablesHowever I use a coax out for their music stations going into a big buck... 
Piggy back conditioners?
Oh, I should have stated---the 6 t IS plugged into the 12, as we speak. I have little choice.If I plugged them into the one outlet I have, that would be the same duplex.---Placing the units within inches of each other.---Not to mention they have t... 
When is used used up?
How's that analogy work for us humans?? Same/same I guess. I personally know I have been out in the sun,way long. 
Don't you love it when this happens?
Had the same kinda thing happen to me a week back.--Only this is about a cd. I had bought Neal Young's Unplugged maybe 15 years ago. I was looking for another cd when I came across this gem and played the ba-jesus out of it.And once in while the o... 
L and R channel/Red and White in system chain
I know I used to have trouble with R/L for my turntable. I would always play a certain record on which like the male singers were always on the left and the females on the right.---Ok, so I love Ray Conniff. There must be several songs where you k... 
Power cords and/or conditioners for Belles amp?
Having owned the hot-rod, the one you have, and the 350 ref. I can tell you the 150ref is a toy compared to the 350. I know that sounds harsh to a 150 ref. owner but it is true as just the cost might indicate. I have since moved to the CJ premier ...
