| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? You have been given a wealth of great advice already. I will say in 35 years in this wonderful hobby, the biggest difference maker in my systems has always been speakers. Amps, yes. CD players, yes. Cartridges, to a point. The room, certainly! How... | |
| The merry go round. $700 seperates or integrated? I agree with yogiboy, go for the Sphinx. I've owned 2 and they are the best I heard at that price point. If you had to drop an extra $100.00, well worth it. Made in the USA as well! | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens They are there, just ordered 1. | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens Thank you sir. The Maggies do have a "magic" about them if set up properly. Sadly, I have to have my TV and Audio center between them which doesn't allow them to fully blossom (in theory). I do have a sub now which is not audiophile quality but i... | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens The Omens because of space constrictions and budget....Perhaps the dirty weekend model for $1000.00 | |
| Opinions please on integrated for green mountain europas The Rogue Sphinx is a fine amp, doubles at 4 ohms as well. Tube pre-amp section offers the "best" of both worlds. Seek out the Ver.2, lower floor noise and improved phone section. Built in Pa, USA! | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable Anti-Cables. Reasonably priced and they "sound" just fine to me. | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? A bit of an odd-ball question but I am intrigued. There are many good responses here first of all. I'm not a vinyl nut but do own a turntable and do listen to Zep. I never though of "tuning" my TT to a specific genre of music but it is interesting... | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 seikosha, I had heard that as well. Then I talk to people who swear the 105 sounds more refined. I guess I'll find out soon, thanks for the input. If anything, I'll have the latest... | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players Thank you tonykay. I had an all Macintosh system at one time and I felt their digital gear didn't keep up with their electronics. Unless you want the "all McIntosh" look (which I love) there are better options for digital playback IMHO. | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 Thanks lynott! | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 Well, I made a command decision this morning and snagged a mint "lightly used" Oppo BDP105 on Ebay (I know) for $860.00. It seems to be a solid deal and I admit to liking the multi-functionality the Oppo's provide. Less connecting, space taken up ... | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 Thank you Mattmiller. That option is on the list... | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players Thank you 68 Pete. | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 Ok, first option in. |
