Verity Audio Leonore and Finn Buconero117,I appreciate your comments. My expectation as stated above is based on my nearly 40 years in the hobby and my familiarity with Verity speakers, past and present. In my experience, for the speaker manufacturers whose products I have ser... | |
Verity Audio Leonore and Finn I heard the Verity Finn. Impressive upgrade to the Verity Tamino, which I own and like very much. Hope to hear the Finn versus the Leonore next week. I would expect that the Leonore, at nearly 3 times the cost of the Finn, will be a clear winner. ... | |
phono stage options for Lyra Cartridges Don't forget the previously mentioned Nagra BPS! It is a great sounding phono stage and a very cost effective alternative to the Nagra VPS.Good luck! | |
I want to try tubes, need suggestions Leben integrated amps can sometimes be had at or near your price limit. Build quality and sound are both first rate! | |
Please recommend a musical sub for me Given your room size, a REL B-3 should work well. | |
Which Integrated Amp I have heard Luxman Class A integrateds with Verity speakers and the results were terrific. But be warned - those amps run pretty darn hot! | |
phono stage options for Lyra Cartridges Jfrech:You are right about the Nagra BPS! I believe it provides at least 80 percent of the "VPS sound" at less than half the cost. High WAF, too. (So of course I bought the VPS! ;-> )Always nice to see a post from another happy Nagra VPS camper! | |
Looking for the best CD 3-4k I second the ARC CD7 recommendation; used and in excellent condition, you might be able to get one either at the upper end of your stated range or a little above. | |
phono stage options for Lyra Cartridges I have the Lyra Titan 1 and am using the Nagra VPS with wonderful results. | |
Turntable recommendations under $1500 A new Rega P5. | |
Getting back into digital. Please help. IMHO, nothing competes with a good vinyl front end. If you are looking to spend up to $5K used, you should be able to find an ARC CD7. That would be my first recommendation. Or you might want to try a Rega Saturn combined with a good DAC.The best ... | |
ARC REF 3, Nagra PSA, & Phase Inversion Dan31:I now own that Nagra PSA! It is by far the best SS stereo amp I have heard at anything near its price point. It presents quite a different sonic landscape than my Luxman MQ-88, but I like the Luxman just as much so I am keeping both amps. Th... | |
Pass, Bryston, Audio Research, or McIntosh? Of the amps you have listed, I would go with Bryston or Pass. I really like Bryston amps and I have heard them used with great success with Magnepan speakers. WRT the Audio Research HD220, although that is a great amp (I auditioned it before choos... | |
How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack Thanks to all of you who offered guidance/suggestions. The humorous comments were also appreciated! I have been enjoying my new HRS M3 Isolation Base for the past two days. In my system it is proving to be a very useful addition. Overall I am hear... | |
ARC REF 3, Nagra PSA, & Phase Inversion My friend who suggested I try the phase inversion explained his rationale this way. He said that most tube preamplifiers do not have a second amplifier stage ( although a few do, according to him) and thus are out of phase with a solid state ampli... |
