| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet Another vote for TMR. They will test the equipment before selling it. You can also buy open box equipment through dealers like Safe & Sound, Hi-Fi Heaven or Music Direct. Most of my gear is either used or open box. I have bought some thing... | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity Sadly no dealers in my rural area of SC anymore, even nearby Greenville. This dealer also carries Parasound and I think does have a return policy. It is in the Massachusetts area. thanks so much for all of your help! | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity Since you are very knowledgeable on amps, do you have any experience with Musical Fidelity. One of the stereo places I use says they have received very good feedback with it paired with the Focal. | |
| Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity It does. Thanks! What kind of speakers do you have? Some people think Focal like I have are bright but I’ve never thought that. | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations This goes to show how subjective this hobby is. I have a pair of Focal Aria 926’s paired with a Parasound A23 amp and do not consider the combination too bright or fatiguing at all! | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. All of those were great groups, but especially The Beatles. My 16 year old son (yes, I’m an old codger with young children) still listens to them all the time and loves their music.Someone mentioned Paul Revere and the Raiders holding up the Ameri... | |
| Preamp Opinion @ jkf011 I know that Conrad Johnson makes good equipment. I looked at some of it back in the day. Unfortunately, most of it is outside of my price range. What about the Conrad-Johnson PV-10AL or CONRAD JOHNSON CT-6? Have you heard either of th... | |
| Preamp Opinion @ markusthenaimnut Yes, I have noticed in my short time on here that there are certainly strong opinions toward certain brands and some of them are less familiar (at least to me). I am hoping to keep the purchase somewhere around $1,500 and I am... | |
| Preamp Opinion What about the PrimaLuna Prologue Three? I'm still leaning toward the Bryston simply because of zero maintenance and a few people on here who have had them swear by them. When I was reading the review for the PrimaLuna, people kept remarking how... | |
| Preamp Opinion Yes. I do. Thanks! | |
| Preamp Opinion Yeah. Almost 10 years left on the warranty. | |
| Preamp Opinion Are any of you familiar with Vincent preamps? How do they compare to Rogue? | |
| Preamp Opinion The one at which I am looking was manufactured in 2017. I am sure that either the Rogue RP-1 or the Bryston BP-1 will give me an improved sound over my current Parasound, just hard to know which one to grab. I wish it was like the old days when I ... | |
| Preamp Opinion No, I bought the lie years ago that vinyl was dead and gave all my old 1960’s and 1970’s albums away😢 Now I don’t feel like spending the money to buy them again. | |
| Preamp Opinion Trust me! If I built it, you would not want to listen to it😂There is a Rogue 99 on eBay now. Looks good! Good price! But Nick at Rogue recommends the RP-1 over the 99. He said the tubes are improved. I know I could switch the tubes in the 99. But ... |
