| Best Vanishing speakers The best I have ever heard were a set of meadowlark kestrels with about 50k front end. | |
| Will a ALEPH 3 match with an 87 db monit I tried to use the Aleph 3 with a pair of NHT super zeros, and found that I couldn't play much over 80-85 Db without overdriving the amp. I think that the NHTs are 87 db sensitive as well. I hope this doesn't scare you away from Pass Labs amps as ... | |
| Harmonic Technologies VS AudioTruth Diam I have recentley replaced the AQ Lapis 1/2 meter with the HT Pros mk 2. I found the H.T. better in every regard. I found it amazing that they could retrieve so much more detail and yet sound so much smoother and easier to listen to at the same tim... | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE I use the BD cones under my CD player and I found a significant improvement by using them with ART Q dampers as a foot to the cones. The Q dampers have a center dent that the point of the BD cones fits into perfectly. | |
| Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00 I have an Aleph 3 and as long as your speakers are fairly efficient and you don't want to know the walls down you'll love it. The bass is not weak either, in fact it sounds much better than the bass I get from the 150 watt tube amp that I tried. B... | |
| CD player finally died. Need rec. You might want to check out the Muse seperates, I have heard that they are awesome and are great on CDs. The Meridian 508.24 is really nice for a CD player also. I think analog sounds better too, but what are you gonna do if you can't get what you... | |
| Power cord upgrade I would seriously dispute the hearing of a person who says that power cords don't make a diffrence. I have tried several of the less expensive models and they all change the sound, usually for the better. If I had the guts and a little more money ... | |
| Linn Majik, Karik- speaker match-up? I have owned the Majik and Meadowlark Kestrel combo at home, and I think, that for the money the Kestrel is hard to beat. Lively and airy top end, with an awesome tight and tuneful bass that is hard to believe for a speaker so small. You can get a... | |
| Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00 If it was me and I had my heart set on an Aleph 3 I'd get one used. Make sure you buy it cheap enough and if you don't like it then sell it and get something else. The sound of the Aleph 3 is better than anything listed above and it would be a sha... | |
| Biwire or Jumpers: which is better? I have experienced significant improvements by biwiring (even non biwire speakers improve from biwiring) I have heard people say that biwiring doesn't result in improvement, but it certainly did for me. | |
| hales,dunlavy,legacy,dynaudio,Etc.HELP Ken, I compared Dunlavy to Hales and I thought the Dunlavys were much better, I also preffer them to the Dynaudio stuff. I bought a used set of SCIVs for 2700.00 and have been very happy with them. I however have not heard the Legacy line of speak... | |
| Best CD player now made. If you are going to go by what others suggest, just look at how many Wadia 850s and 860s grace the systems at CES 2000. Those guys sytems have to sound their best, their livelyhood depends on it. If you don't have to have a preamp go for the Wadia... | |
| VANDERSTEENS vs. THIELS I have listened to Vandersteen 2ce and Theil 2 2. The Vandersteens are definately more laid back sounding, I have always thought that they sound their best with classical as opposed to jazz and rock. The Thiels on the other hand have a lot more ge... | |
| PASS LABS ALEPH-3 I have an Aleph 3 powering Dunlavy SCIVs 91db. Yeah your not going to know down the walls with an Aleph 3. You can expect volumes to about 90db in a medium large room, at least that is what I get in my room. The amps Garfish mentioned however are ... | |
| Adcom GFP750 ?????? I have a GFP 750. I too was intrigied by the rave reviews. I replaced a Linn majik preamp, the Adcom was vastly superior in all areas. I don't understand why James Bond is so hateful to Adcom, yeah you can do better but for the money Adcom is pret... |
