| SACD player Like Milpai said. The Marantz SA-11S2 is excellent! | |
| Which monitors for my tube system in a large room? 2nd the DeVore 3XLs - great sounding and great looking monitors. The Omegas are another very good choice. Both easily meet your criteria for musicality and listenability and should be fine with your Leben. I wouldn't count either out for serious s... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Talk2me - My only piece of Mc gear is the MCD500, which I have found to be musically quite impressive at its price point. Since you no longer have your MCD500, did you replace it with another CDP? If so, may I ask what replaced your MCD500 and wha... | |
| HELP Rega P-7; VPI Classic 2; Scout 2 or ? A Well Tempered Amadeus is hard to beat at even two-plus times its price point IME.How do you like your Vandersteen Quatro Woods? I came very close to buying a pair of those and often wish I had done so. | |
| Pre-amp Upgrade Absolutely agree with Ahendler. The Shindo Aurieges L is the "entry level" pre in Shindo's lineup but there is nothing entry level about its sound. Far more musical than my Audio Research Ref 3. If I ever manage to sell my Ref 3, I will be replaci... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? The best of my CD players is my Audio Research CD7. At my request, my audio dealer set up my exact same system at his home, except he used a CD8 instead of a CD7. We then listened to a lot of music, with "my system" alone and then running my syste... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Getting back to the OP's original questions, in particular - "Better yet, has anybody compared them side by side before?" - has anyone made a side by side comparison of the Dude and a Shindo preamp, and are you willing to share what you heard? | |
| I NEED YOUR HELP with a turntable purchase I have heard the Spiral Groove once. It was excellent. I feel the Ayre/DPS with Mr. Bauer's tonearm (which I have owned for about a year now) is just as good as the SG and so is another option you might want to consider. Better yet, consider the S... | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised My Bedini 25/25 amp, which is pushing 30 years now, is a sonic and musical wonder! | |
| Verity Audio Amadis Owners, Listener Impressions? I do not own the Amadis but have heard them three or four times. I am very familiar with and very much enjoy the sound of Verity speakers. I use a pair of Taminos and Fidelio Encores in separate systems and have heard the Finn and Leonore.For my p... | |
| Single Driver Recommendations + amp Qs, Omega? I am not familiar with your Magnum Audio amp. I use the Bedini 25/25 (solid state) to drive my Omega Super 8 Alnico XRS and am very pleased with the musical presentation of this combination. The pre in this system is the Quicksilver linestage. | |
| looking for phono suggestions @Catahul_bill - I agree with the previous suggestions that you stick with the excellent phono in the Capri (at least for now) and address your table, arm, and cartridge. If you go that route and intend to spend P7-plus money, I strongly recommend ... | |
| best class a amp for a grand? Bedini 25/25 is excellent. I have one. Not (read: Never) for sale! ;-> | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Grannyring - Shindo uses no circuit boards; they are 100 percent point to point wired. The interior of a Shindo component, like the exterior, is literally a work of art.I try to keep an open mind about all things audio with one exception - Shindo ... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps @Grannyring,I understand your point and already realized from your comments and review that you believe the Dude punches way above its price point. I suspect many of us have that belief about one or more components we have used and enjoyed.Case in... |
