| Need to select a pair of main speakers for HT Definitive Technology. | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Shindo. The best one you can afford. | |
| What amp to improve upon a Sugden? A 2nd vote for the Anthem 225. I do not know of a SS integrated that can beat it at its ridiculously low price point. | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? The Nagra VPS. | |
| sonus faber GH with Sub vs Amat Homage I agree completely with Elviukai. I have the Guarneri Mementos in a room very close in dimensions to that of the OP and although they were wonderful without a sub, adding a REL R-305 has added fullness and even further improved the soundstage and ... | |
| seeking turntable recommendations Aisip - My reference system (with the best turntable) consists of the following sources: Ayre-DPS with Mr. Bauer's tonearm and the EMT JSD5, ARC CD7 CDP, Mac/Wavelength Cosecant Version I music server, and Kenwood L-01T FM tuner. The pre is a Shin... | |
| seeking turntable recommendations Aisip - I am using the Dynavector XX2 MKII unbalanced (Auditorium 23 ICs) into the ARC PH7 and then into an ARC Ref 3. This has proven to be a very special combination. I find it more than a little amusing and very gratifying that the Amadeus/XX2 ... | |
| seeking turntable recommendations Totally agree with everything Aisip said. My Amadeus is amazing! | |
| Looking to get back into Vinyl. This is another "bump it up" recommendation but it is the holiday season and you should indulge yourself! TT - Well Tempered Amadeus (~$2800); Cartridge - Ortofon 2M Black (~$670); Phono Stage - Jolida JD 9 (~$500). The "weak link" in these recomm... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Bifwynne - You should be able to pick up a used Rega P3 or P5 with the standard arm, a new Ortofon 2M Black cartridge, and any number of good used phono stages for your stated budget limit of $1.5K. Rega makes a good entry level SS phono stage. Bu... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice What is your budget for a TT, cartridge, & phono stage, and do you prefer SS or tubes for the phono stage? Knowing this information will help focus any advice offered. | |
| to SACD or not For a SE preamp, I suggest you consider the best Shindo model you can afford.Good hunting! | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range Since you are considering Verity, I strongly suggest the $30K Verity Amadis instead of the $16K Verity Leonore. I have heard them both and although the Leonore are very good, the Amadis are incredible. Other than the Shindo Latours, the Amadis are... | |
| to SACD or not Velocityofhue - If you are considering a non-SACD player in the $5K to $10K range, I recommend you consider the ARC CD8. I have the CD7, the Ayre 5xeMP, the Mcintosh MCD500, and the Marantz SA11S2. Each is in its own system and chosen for various ... | |
| Buy new integrated or vintage? Smitty - Anthems punch well above their weight class. One system in our home is a hybrid 2-channel/HT. The Anthem Statement A5 amplifier does double duty, and it is more than good enough to not be sonically embarrassed by the 2-channel gear, which... |
