| Best Integrated, period. Tbg..was one of your kits from David Hafler's Dynaco company? Very popular back then. | |
| Best Integrated, period. What did you do Kiwi?..go fishing for numbers on anything out there?. The Devialet only weighs 14 lbs and is not a world class Analog integrated. It is a digital/analog hybrid with a class D modulator. Ho Hum..not in the same league as Simaudio. M... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Tbg..No, I am not a dealer. Just an Audiophile for 35 years.There is no way in hell I would buy a Magico speaker. I judge a product on longevity and word of mouth reputation over magazine hype that puts products ahead of the line based on annual a... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? HALLMARK OF A GREAT SPEAKER. There are 4000 speaker companies worldwide. Ony 10% of those companies make their speaker cabinets and driver's in house. Out of those 10%/400 companies, only a handful rise to the top as the best sounding speakers, si... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Ghasley..the S/N number's I posted are on SS Integrated's only without phono stages. As always, the best way to test the noise from your component's is turn the volume/gain knob upto max with no music signal and put your ear up against the tweeter... | |
| Best Integrated, period. When deciding on a integrated amp for purchase, the most critical thing to look for are the noise level's. If the amp and preamp in the integrated have S/N levels below 100 db's than you will wind up with a noisy product. The Gryphon Diablo amp S/... | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting Rok2id...The 707's are in stock at their Vista, Calif. warehouse. But just the light cherry finish. Sold out of the dark Mahogany which is in great demand which will be back in stock by mid-December. Polk has warehouse's in Maryland and Calif. I d... | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting Rok2id..The reason for the higher cost for the LSiM series is that the components in the crossover boards are of much higher quality and cost more. All drivers are now made in house which increases labor costs.Their midrange driver is more sophist... | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting Richidoo..One of the experiences on the 707's was Home Theater Magazine's review from the November 2010 issue..quote, " I listened to the 707's with an all tube set up from AR, and what I heard was staggering, there was tremendous clarity, very st... | |
| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? Agisthos,..DacMagic does not do analog out from the 751-BD.Analog out is done from the five Wolfson WM 8740-24/192KhzDAC'S. DacMagic is the name of Cambridge Audio's D/A convertor unit which is designed for Mac computer's and other streaming devic... | |
| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? The Cambridge Audio Azur 751-BD is a better choice than the Oppo. Why? You will not find an open port with an exhaust cooling fan on the back of the 751-BD that's on the back of the Oppo BDP-95. The Oppo runs hotter than the Cambridge Audio player... | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting Vapor, I don't buy in too what your saying. You must be with the anti-Polk camp. Way out of balance with the rest of the spectrum? Baloney! Polk's recent merger with Defined Electronic's who also owns DefTech, makes them the largest speaker compan... | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting The change's with the new LSiM serie's. Polk has done away with the Vifa ring radiator tweeter and now design's their own ring radiator tweeter they claim is superior to the Vifa. The new serie's are 8 ohms. The top model, the 707 goes down to 20 ... | |
