Levinson 331 or Pass X150 or Plinius SA-100 ??????
I have the Pass x150. It is wonderful! I have heard the 331 on someone elses system, but I liked the Pass better. I haven't heard a bargin amp that will compare. 
Biwire / Speaker / Amp Combo Question
Have you investigated any kind of power conditioners? I have the Studio 60's and Transparent cables. At first I found the combination to be very bright, then I hooked up a PS Audio P300. Worked like a charm. It turns out that I didn't have very cl... 
Attack of the Clones
I too was also rather disappointed with Episode II. I didn't mind the acting so much as I did the editing. It started out well, then became kind of hoaky. They did not develope Anikan as a character very well. Those life-altering events that shape... 
Best CD player with Pass X150????
Thanks guys! Ivanj, I am happy with my system right now but you know how it is. Always looking for some improvement. If I was to change anything right now, it would be the cd source. I would prefer a redbook cd player to a dvd player. I have also ... 
Hybrid SACD the new standard?
The packaging on the Hybrids says that they will play on any CD player. Has anyone ever tried to play one on a DVD player? I have a Marantz dv18, but I am not sure that I want to blow $23 on something that won't work. Thanks. 
PsAudio 300?
hey Whirshfield, I just bought one and am VERY pleased. Before using the PS300, I had purchased a pair of Transparent Reference speaker cables to run with my Marantz dv18, Monarchy M22C DAC, Pass x150, Paradigm Ref.60's. I was very disappointed wh... 
Cardas spkr. cables: Quad vs. Cross vs. Golden Cr
Have you guys tried the Golden Reference? How does it compare to other cables you have tried? 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Me rich?! NOT. I'm a recent graduate with a good paying technical job, but it is an intresting trade off between paying off school loans, my music, and eating. I buy most everything used that can usually be sold at little or no loss. I contracted ... 
Reduce Floor Vibration?? I live in an apartment.
Hi all, thanks for your input. I think for now I am going to try using the Vibropods with an 0.75" thick MDF platform (on spikes) and I'll try not to be too rude with the volume levels. If he knocks on my door, I'll use the diplomatic approach. If... 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
I had to send off to Australia to find an audiophile wife. I think one of these guys got the last American one. I insisted on the prenup just in case. Seriously though, if you can find a pair of Paradigm Studio 20's via Audiogon or Ebay, they are ... 
FMS Cables??
Thanks for all your input! I have checked out the FMS website too and I did have a chance to listen to some of FMS's lower-end speaker cables (Waveguide I think) and I thought the detail was amazing, but the vocals were not as "centered" as the NB... 
Best Dac you ever heard
My experience is limited compared to some, but the Monarchy Audio M22C is fantastic for the money. 
NBS Omegas vs Monitor 4's ?
Thanks again! I have settled on the Omega 4 biwired cables. From the feedback that I have gotten, I should really hear a nice difference. I am using Pass x150, Monarchy audio DAC, Marantz dv18, and Paradigm reference speakers. The Omegas that I li...
