| conrad johnson GAT vs ACT 2 series 2 Not sure if this is too late. I had the original ACT2, ACT2.2 and then the current GAT. The ACT2 back then was the most neutral preamp I had ever owned. It was smooth, quiet, and with good detail, great micro dynamic, and big soundstage. Nothing s... | |
| Does anyone know the value of BEL 1001 MKV? I would say about $1500 each. I would get a pair of monoblocks. The sound was way better than stereo, especially the huge soundstage of the monoblocks.I have used them from MKIII all the way to MK V driving Thiels including the CS7.2. They are gre... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? I stopped listening to CD (digital) more than 15 years ago. I am listening exclusively to vinyl. However, I do listen to MP3 in my car though. CD and vinyl are two different formats. They do sound differently. I like the space and ambience of viny... | |
| Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread Why would someone pay more than your asking price? And then ask you to send the difference? Totally it is a scam. Period. Be careful. I got these emails many times. | |
| How important is an audio rack? It depends on what kind of support you have now for your components. Upgrading from a good one to a little better one may not bring much improvement.Years ago, when I switched from a rack (that came with the rack system with the glass door type) t... | |
| the mccomack dna 750m can run revel salon2 ? Quantity wise, it is more than enough. Quality wise, you will be the one who can tell. | |
| Thiel 3.5 upgrade to 3.6 or 2.4 worthwhile? The 3.5 is a high value speaker system. I never owned the 3.5s but listened to it at a dealer's showroom. At the time, it was a great speaker. I auditioned the 3.6s at the same dealer before I bought it and thought they sounded better than the 3.5... | |
| Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment? We don't seem to have a grasp on this one. I need to talk to my Homeowner's Insurance Agent. | |
| REVEL Salon2s - What Amp is needed? Subs needed? My room is 14x25 with very high ceiling and I don't need any sub at all. But I listen to mostly jazz and classical and some light rock. Perhaps subs can be useful for rock.High quality powerful amps are recommended. Salon 2s are very coherent soun... | |
| FAVORITE LP'S OF 2011 Albeniz Suite Espanola 45 rpm and Eric Clapton Unplugged 33 rpm. I like the music and the sonic quality is first rate. | |
| Looking to get the best sound I can When you said "muted", that may mean you put too much acoustic damping. Sometimes too many acoustic panels could deaden the sound. You can play with different positions and/or the number of the panels. | |
| Turntable under $1500 ..... Rega, clearaudio, or ? The Clearaudio Concept seems to be a good candidate. It has received many awards here in the U.S. and in England. What Hi-Fi awarded it Turntable of the Year in 2009. Around $500 or so, Rega is a good one. I used to own the Well-Tempered Classic t... | |
| Amp help with a B.E.L. 1001 Mk.II Don't know about Luxman preamp. Luxman has nice reputation. I used to own a Luxman integrated with tubes that you could see through a window. That was nice sounding for budget system. If I were you, I would ask if they could loan you the preamp fo... | |
| BEL 1001 amp...does it deserve the hype? I owned the MKII, MKIII, MKIV, and MKV in mono blocks. I had the Thiel 3.6 which was very power hungry. Back then, I tried Classe, Krell, VTL 225. None of these amps could drive the 3.6s to my satisfaction. The BEL MKII mono blew all these amps ou... | |
| Amp help with a B.E.L. 1001 Mk.II What? You got a BEL MK II and a CD player for $8.50? Did you mean $850? If you bought it at $8.50, I would then offer to buy your BEL MKII at $20. :)I used to own BEL MKII, to MKIII, to MKIV, and to MKV. They are awsome amps. If you can find anoth... |
