| Amp help with a B.E.L. 1001 Mk.II Sorry, I don't know that pre; but older luxman's carry a good rep on this forum. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in. | |
| Amp help with a B.E.L. 1001 Mk.II You will get plenty of folks to tell you that you scored large, and I agree. I found a BEL 1001 Mk V 3 years ago and ran it in my system, changing out with my other amps (I kept most the others, putting them in other systems.) I was very happy wit... | |

The amp didn't seem to fit well with my system, but after talking with others online and with Steve Mc., I went with gold+ upgrades. What a ... | |

| Damn Apple..a fence sitter's dilemma Some of the later posts illustrate my confusion...two contributors, both of whom probably understand Macs/computers by a factor of 100 better than I, offer two different formats as the best for ripping cd's to a HD: Aiff vs. Apple Lessloss. Browsi... | |

| Gill Audio Alana vs First Sound preamps Thanks; will toss this around with David G. when we next speak. In the meantime, I continue to be pleased with the present setup. Damn shame about Hovland, isn't it. | |
| Gill Audio Alana vs First Sound preamps About a year ago this month. Now a Mk 3 pcb with Hovland capacitors. Is there something else I should know? | |
| Gill Audio Alana vs First Sound preamps I am not going to be a wellspring of vast information regarding your desired comparison; I have only heard the First Sound at shows (RMAF, etc.) I have researched them with an eye towards a purchase sometime in the future but for present, my Gill ... | |
| B&W 802 Series 80 Speaker ID Help This is a little on the peripheral but I have a pair of B&W 801F's, which were also sold with very little change as 801 Series 80. They are NOT Matrix but a previous model. I wouldn't recognize the 802's on sight from that vintage but others m... | |
