    I would guess not lower than 25k but no more than 30k. Still damned good value at that level

    Re: Dream Amps

    ive heard these and the stereo version. Best midrange of any high powered amp I've heard, tube or ss, so seductively liquid and natural. You can't go wrong with this unless you want your bass tight...

    Re: New SM-103's

    I'm auditioning ss 103 and the sl 103. Compared to the momentum stereo, it sounds a lot more powerful, and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the Aida could deliver such room shaking...

    Re: Opinions of Quad ESL 57's

    That looks fine but I would sit low. It's really best if you can hear it cuz I've heard so many bad demos of these speakers that it left me wondering what all the fuss was all about. Until a friend...

    Middle of the panel at ear height. And don't spread them to far apart as the sound will thin out.

    Re: Opinions of Quad ESL 57's

    Listened at the proper height (not on the floor as it's original stands will situate it), it is to me the yardstick of midrange purity and naturalness.

    Thanks Bob for allowing me to audition the M3's on such short notice last Tuesday. I second an earlier post that if anyone thinks Magico = Fast, clear, analytical etc, but devoid of "soul," listen to...

    Re: ARC REF 5SE - New Review

    Probably not. The 36.5 has a separate power supply and while I've never owned one, I've heard it on several occasions since the local dealer is friend. Both are excellent, but I don't think the 5se...

    Re: ARC Ref 6 Review - PF (mep)

    Mmm, I wonder how it compares to my Ref Anniverasry which I never considered replacing thinking its ARC's last twin chassis design that retains the iconic ARC industrial design.

    Re: ARC Ref 6 Review - PF (mep)

    You really can't compare the two. The DS pre is a non reference line stage with a built in DAC. The Ref 6 is a state of the art Reference level line stage that is just a notch below the top of the...

    Not really similar. The Galileo is a full function preamp with a built in phono stage. As a line stage and phono stage, the Galileo is not in the league of the now discontinued Ref 5 SE and the Ref...

    If you must use adapters, get the ones made by voodoo, they have a nice tight fit.
