Maggie 3,6's with levinson 20.amp any thoughts
Hi! My two-cents worth. I am using a Mark Levinson 325H 300 watter with my 3.6R. Sounds great. I was using a Krell FPB 200 to drive the Maggies. It sounded great too. 
Shunyata Hydra Vibration Isolation ???
I am using Black Diamonds Racing Cones with pads. Audible difference. 
Suggestions on a Blu-ray DVD player?
Sony BDP 760. You should check out the Pioneer BDP-LX 52 and the Sony BDP 360 too. 
I need some advice on High End Car Audio...
I had two 3 Series before and I installed Focal speakers in the cars. Go for their top models. And I am using Brax power amps for years. Have yet to find anything better. McIintosh do have car power amps. I only like their head units. The problem ... 
HDMI Cable comparisons
The British What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision magazine has an extensive review of cables including video cables. I recently bought the recommended Chord Company Silver 1.3 Silver Plus (HDMI). But I have not hook it up so I cannot say anything. But I hav... 
USB Cord Recommendation
Hey guys! And I assume that it is all guys. Will check out the said cables and leave feedback. Thanks! 
Better Quality computer speakers
I using the Audioengine A2 and it is much better than anything from Bose. Problem is it is only for music. If you are a gamer and you need 5.1, then you have to look elsewhere. Another thing to take note is I am using a headphone amp to drive the A2. 
Levinson 29 vs 27.5 vs 23.5
Hi there! I owned a 29 and a 23.5 some years back. The best bang for the buck is the 29. It may be only a 50 watter but it's enough for most bookshelf speakers. If you need the juice, go for the 23.5. It costs only a bit more for an additional 100... 
Breaking into the industry
Er .... sorry to say this but you should work in the banking or finance industry. Work hard, make a lot of money and buy all the hi-fi you want. Trust me! 
Tweaks That Don't Work
Peter Belt's Rainbow Electet Foil works in my system. I would say that that is his most effective tweak. Just stick two short lengths on a CD. Audible. That said, some of his other tweaks offer no immediate significant audible difference. His posi... 
Krell KRC-3 Questions
Hi Paul, I have owned the KRC-3 and the KRC-HR before. Just one point. The KRC-3 sounds better with the gain on. I agree with Elberoth2. You need better interconnects and speaker cables. 
Tweaks That Don't Work
Hi Flg2002, not sure about which AudioPrism AC purifier you are talking about. Is it the Quiet Line thingy? I am using a few of the Quiet Lines. The thing is that I plug one into my PS Audio power bar, my Changlight Speed and even my Power Wedge. ... 
how refined are your ears?
Hi there! I agreed with your friend Devon. Andrea is very popular at the moment. Heck, I even have a few of his CDs. The thing is that his voice is not perfect. I used to be a music retailer and I have listened to a fair amount of classical singer... 
Need suggestion instead of a Beosound 3200
Hi! Agreed with Slappy! But you don't need 3k to stomp the B & o CD player. For around $1000 to $1500, you can stomp the B & o CD player.I don't wish to be accused of product killing but the fact of the matter is we audiophiles are very pa... 
Who has listened to Sonus Faber "Cremona Auditor"
I have one pair driven by the Krell 400xi integrated. Happy with the sound. My advice is bring some CDs which you are very familar with and play them through these speakers.
