| New CD Player Thanks for the reply. This Cary cd player I own, CDP 1, is a solid state piece. It is the non-tube version of the 300/300 I believe. | |
| Just got AQ Niagara 1200 ... Has anyone compared the AQ Niagara 1200 to the Shunyata PS8/Defender? Similra price points. | |
| Looking for a new preamp Thank you all again for the feedback. I believe the Cary's output voltage is 6v when running balanced. I noticed the gain on the BAT 23se is 20. Would that be a bit much? I believe the Aragon 8008 mk2 is a lower gain designed amp. | |
| Looking for a new preamp I would think the Adcom GFP 750 would be a step up from the Aragon 28k? So the Freya S bested that based on what you said. In terms of going direct George. I have a Cary CDP 1 CD player that can drive an amp directly. I tried that awhile back and... | |
| Looking for a new preamp Thank you for the feedback so far. The BAT 23se pre that I’m looking at is solid state. | |
| Amplifier upgrade Thank you for the detail. I have not heard the Emotiva amps as of yet. I think if I was going the Halo route I would go JC 1's for sure. The Pass 250.8 seems to be a great amp from I have heard, and a step up from everything we are talking abou... | |
| Amplifier upgrade Thank you. I think the 8008 bb is a still a very good amp as you said. I would agree it's a bit warm and a bit slow, but has allot of drive. A Pass 250.8 would be a big step up I would think. It uses a Mosfet output stage, but I assume still w... | |
| Thoughts on my current system I never heard this about the Wattgate connectors but I will look into it and check out some other options. Thank you. | |
| Thoughts on my current system Yes that is true. The Aragon 8008bb is class A to 26 watts and a larger power supply than the A21. You might be right about the class A theory. | |
| Thoughts on my current system Just curious jl35. What didn't you like about the A21? Have you heard the Aragon 8008bb? | |
| Thoughts on my current system Thank you ggc for the detail. It's good stuff and I agree. Some of the items you mentioned I need to become familiar with. Some of the products I currently own I feel are worth hanging on to and building around them. Others probably not like y... | |
| Thoughts on my current system Thanks pennsy for your detail. I live in an area where the ac lines are not very good as it's a shared living complex. When I move I will install dedicated 20 amp lines and be in a nice spot. Both the Aragon 8008 & A21 are high current desi... | |
| Thoughts on my current system Thanks sbrownnw. Have you tried the Shunyata products? Any experience with the Amps that I own? | |
| Thoughts on my current system Thank for your the detail. I'm in a shared residence/apartment so I have not been able to introduce a dedicated line. One of the reasons I use the Shunyata PS8 along with defender because of the garbage on the lines. Where I'm moving to I will ... | |
| Thoughts on my current system That's good advice. Thank you mesch. |
