| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? When I was young I did save, save, save and go to retailers to listen, listen, listen. There wasn't as much of a used market because there was no internet. I don't remember ever seeing any desirable equipment in the newspaper classifieds. When I c... | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? Posting to a thread that has been idle for 8 years, I am obviously wacko.I have a Rotel RX-1052 receiver. I'd love to experiment with a pre-amp upgrade; but the 1052 does not have a mains-in or any way to bypass the pre-amp that I am aware of. It ... | |
| Recommend your best sounding LP's Thanks for the correction, fjn04. My copy of Led Zep IV is a remastered, 180 g version by Atlantic carried by SoundStage Direct.My copy of Big Pink is a Gain 2 Ultra analog disc, so I'm guessing new. I love Cowboy Junkies and have yet to find anyt... | |
| Recommend your best sounding LP's I found the EMI issue of Long John Baldry's eponymous album to be very well mastered. I also have a white label copy of Robert Palmer's Clues that is amazing, even though some of the tracks are not my taste.Both the 10,000 Maniacs LPs I have are v... | |

| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? The speakers I've heard in that range that really rocked and did everything well are Vandersteen Treos (over budget at $6,900; but I'm told the 3A has the same character at $4,775 - street price may be less.) and the Canton Ergo 1002DC. You can't ... | |
| Nakamichi SR versus TA Did both have MC Phono stage? I believe Nakamichi made great phono stages. The one on my Receiver 2 is excellent. Recently someone advised me to compare the Stasis design to the HTA design. | |
| What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$ Whatever you buy/try, get someone, or better some people, with a good ear(s) and have the courage to do a double blind comparison, especially if you try the "WE 10ga wire" option. I did something like that and the surprising consensus was Auvio 1... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? Last night I readjusted the anti-skating on my Oracle Alex, so I played the hardest to track albums I have: Linda Ronstadt, Hasten Down The Wind and 10,000 Maniacs, In My Tribe. Sounded great. Now that I think of it, I inherited some Beethoven. Ma... | |
| Newbie looking for amplifier advice I think the OP's concern over DAC obsolescence is valid. Also, I have heard the Belles Aria. So good it is in my letter to Santa. The only other integrated I've heard (admittedly not a huge sample) that I like as well is the Prima Lona Dialog, and... |
