| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Most people here are talking about getting an amplifier that your speakers will DEMAND. When you invest a lot of money on speakers, you want to get the best performance out of them that's possible. Therefore if you have speakers like the Magico, t... | |

| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. George mentioned a really good amp already, Parasound Hint, John Curl design. Another choice is the Modwright KWI, which is a beast, has tremendous design and is beautiful IMHO. A third choice, I don’t know if it is still being made, but I would n... | |
| Just picked up a pair of Parasound JC-1 to drive my... Have fun, great choice in mono amps. I am an owner of a few Paraound products and really like them. JC-1 is a killer amp. | |
| Odyssey Stratos monoblocks with Elac Adante AS-61 I had an Odyssey Stratos amp and 2 Odyssey preamps, the Tempest and Candela. I had buzzing and low level spurious noise from all three of them. I had sent them to Odyssey to fix and after many, many months and spending $$$$, I had to sell them at ... | |
| Files from a Harddrive to a DAC vs dedicated digital player? joyofsound.When you go with a computer you must get a good USB cable, maybe a good reclocker, separate DAC etc, etc. Not to mention your computer should be located by your stereo.With a dedicated streamer like Aurender, Bluesound, NAD and others y... | |
| Files from a Harddrive to a DAC vs dedicated digital player? I think hardware that is engineered and designed for the sole purpose of playing digital audio (music) is better than a multiple purpose device like a computer. I know there are many people who disagree with this thinking, and to each his own. I t... | |
| Dynaudio Contour C60 or Magico A3 or Vandersteen Treo CT mahiljanianGood choice on traveling to hear the speakers. You owe it to yourself to do so IMHO. Make notes, maybe have a checklist of things that are important to you. Don’t forget your OWN music to demo. | |
| Dynaudio Contour C60 or Magico A3 or Vandersteen Treo CT +1 twoleftears 1st post.I would say the Magico or Vandersteen. But I own Vandersteen, so I like that one. I would not buy either without listening to them first, I might really favor the Magico. But if I had the cash, I would get a mint used Quatr... | |
| New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23 I have not heard the Levinson, but I know many audiophiles hold that brand in high esteem. I had pulled the trigger on the A21 and really like it. If I were to change amps I would only go with mono amps or an integrated amp in the $5k range. That ... | |

| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I would edit the title of your post if possible. It makes no sense at all. | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. +1 on glennewdick comments. I ripped all my CDs onto a HDD and use a streaming device for Tidal and Spotify. That enabled me to keep all my bought music and explore all the new music Spotify and Tidal have to offer. I may even buy a year membershi... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins There are many reasons the Bluesound system was right for me. First it is, for the most part, budget audio gear. I paid $499 for my Node 2 and it has punched way above my expectations. Secondly, it is very versatile allowing me to listen to my dig... | |
| Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist One thing to mention... when looking at speakers consider who is responsible for engineering/designing them. There are very well known and expert people who understand how to do this. Andrew Jones, Richard Vandersteen, Jack Oclee-Brown, Vince Bruz... |
