old verses new ???
I find that any OLD table has to be gone thru and even updated a little. IE..tonearm rewire or just changing the turntable IC. These classic tables are special indeed, they have a classic look and sound that you cant get in a new table. But, the n... 
System Direction? Thiel 7.2s, Krell, Kimber, SCD-1
I would purchase some mono blocks from McIntosh and with one of there tube preamplifiers you will be in fatigue free audio nirvana! So I would look at the MC500 mono blocks or even a MC402 or a 600 single chassis amplifier, then mate with a MC2200... 
Can we talk?
Steve, did you mean the Dynaudio Confidence 2's? I don't think they made a Contour 2. 
Can we talk?
I sold my beloved Mirage M3's back in the late 90's. I purchased a pair of EPOS ES22's $2500. Then I had to replace the midranges...$650.00. Then I bought 2 more! @ $1500. I was not happy, and after blowing 5k on these 4 speakers I bought a pair o...

Transparent Cable Upgrade?
MIT and TRANSPARENT all try and sell you on these POLES of articulation and how you have to pay more to go up the cable line to get more poles, ITS A BUNCH OF BULL*&&^!! Try some regular cables that are well made and you will agree Boxes o... 
Transparent Cable Upgrade?
I stand firmly in my opinion of cables with network boxes on them :-) They do not allow the impact of the event to come through they replace it with beautifully articulated music no doubt. But, If you want to hear instruments in your listing room ... 
REL G-2 Question
After reading the owners manual it looks like you have to adjust the volume down for the 1 your not using. I get what your saying tho. It is kinda strange in 2 channel mode it still picks up the HT. But I think it is not broken. 
modified Oppo 105D v. Mcintosh MCD 500
You can buy both of these around the same price. Modded Oppo $1200 +$2200 = $3400 AND you can buy a MC500 used for close to that. I would get the Oppo because you can play any format. Unlike the MAC which is SACD/CD only. Also, they both use the E...

Kimber 8TC beater?
Look anyone can wire up there system with BELL telephone wire or multi stranded lamp cord, or even some thick ass romex crap, there is a reason all these cable manufactures stay in business AND ROMEX stays in Business supplying electrical wire to ... 
Kimber 8TC beater?
When I listen to a reasonably priced pair of cables that sound as good or better than cables costing 1,000's of dollars more IE...NORDOST vs Morrow Audio I cant help but get excited about something that actually works! I have A 80 year old father ... 
REL G-2 Question
All I can say is that both inputs provide volume controls 1 has to be down while your using the other. Does this still occur with 1 of the volumes all the way down? Can you turn 1 off while using the other by just lowering the volume for that inpu... 
Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records?
Tape will never surpass vinyl in resolution and signal to noise ratio and dynamic range....Even a top of the line Tandberg Home Reel to Reel. And I don't think people want to spend 1,000 for a 70's tape player. Having said that I still would like ...
