I recently purchased this fine speaker system and power it with an old NAD T753 receiver. It sound fine and all, but I am interested in taking the "next step" in this hobby by buying a tube amp. I was thinking of the Audio Research VSI60 integrated. Is there enough "JUICE" with 50wpc that the VSI60 produces? Or should I look at other similar priced higher powered models? Any help would be appreciated!

I recently purchased the PSB Synchronicity One, to which I only have a NAD T763. I was thinking of buying the Audio Research VSI60 tube amp but not sure if has enough "JUICE". I like the sound just fine with the receiver, but want to take the next step in my audio hobby and by a stand-alone amp. Any Suggestions?

Just wanted to thank the Stereophile staff for pointing me in the direction of the Dynaudio Excite X12's- Only had mine for 4 days (app. 35 hours burn in)but am already blown away by the sound -with the best yet to come.

As I think about getting something like a Squeezebox Touch, I'm curious about whether it is worth the time to put my CDs on my hard drive - or what other benefits people have felt they have gotten by moving away from a CD player? Perhaps a better way to word the question is, 'why did you switch, and what did it do for your listening enjoyment?'

I have a dedicated listening room, so I generally have to be in the room to enjoy music (as opposed to having it on as background as I do other things).

Would hi-rez downloads be a reason to make the switch?

Anyone know anything about these products...they seem to strip a digital signal from an iPOD via the rWand and wirelessly send it to the rDAC which connects to a system...

The January issue has an ad that got me looking for details.

Hi all,

I need to know experinces from users of Reimyo CDP 777 , sound quality, comparations with others top cdplayers?

Best Regards

If you've read a single AV-related post of mine, in any venue, then you know without my having to say so that the biggest problem-area in my system hasn't been the DVD-player. Neither has it been the amplifier, the television, the speakers, or the cabling. What it has been, is an inscrutable bug somewhere in my electrical system. I've installed dedicated lines, common-mode chokes, isolation transformers, even improvised additional AC-cord shielding using dryer duct. I've replaced speaker wires and interconnects and the romex in the wall. I've tried everything. Nothing has worked.
