| Jeff Rowland Amp Owners Please Help Why only balanced inputs? What do I do with my RCA only preamp? | |
| Question for Rowland aficionados OK Why only XLR inputs and no RCAs what do I do with my RCA only preamp?Thanks | |
| Suggestions for the best DAC under 1K The Electrocompaniet used for around $1300 is the best choice of all the DACs I have heard under $2K.Happy Listening. | |
| Tube Preamps with Bass? Oldears I once owned the BAT VK-30SE and it was outperformed by the ARC LS-25 MKII in dynamics. The Pass X-1 also outperformed the BAT. The BAT did not offer the mid range sonics I am looking for in a tube preamp.Happy Listening. | |
| Best sounding player under $3500 Used ? I agree with all of what is posted above but there is really no best CDP. They all have a different sound and you have to hear each in your system to see what works for you. I know it is hard to do, but that is the only way I could tell what was b... | |
| Tube Preamps with Bass? Thanks everyone I was comparing the tube preamps to the Pass X-1 and on the same songs the Pass has better bass as I describe above. I would like to find one of these preamps that can come as close and retian the tube mid magic. I have Talon Raven... | |
| Tube Preamps with Bass? S23chang, no I am looking for a great tube peramp sound where the tube preamp has some bass. I have just received a well know tube preamp but compared to my Pass X-1 lacks the same bass weight, slam and bass dynamics. I guess I want it all.Happy L... | |
| Pre-Power Best Synergy The synergy should be with the amp and the speakers first. The amp should just pass along the systems front end sound. There are various synergies and all to me do one thing or another but not all. A tube preamp (at least the ones I am listening t... | |
| Speakers: What's MOST important to you?... Besides what has already been said about, first/second is will they mate with my power amp and then work in my room, cannot have huge speakers in a small space. Then I look for a full range speaker that has most of the above. BTW if you find the p... | |
| Power Amp suggestions in $2000 range ? During my search for a SS amp the CJ 2500, McComack DNA-225, Sim Audio W-5, Krell KAV-2250 and the Levinson 334, the Levinson was the nicer sounding amp to my ears at that time. I also agree with looking at the Rowland, Blue Circle, etc as above. ... | |
| Speaker Upgrade? I would wait until you had some more cash and really do a upgrade at that time, for now sit back and enjoy. New models will be out after CES and there will probably be some good used speakers on Agon for sale.Happy Listening. | |
| Best Amp+pre-amp for 16-18K The new Krell Mcx 450 mono blocks that I heard are surprisingly very good. A friend of mine has been doing a comparison with some of the top amps and the new Krells have broken away from the Krell house sound. Try them out before you dismiss them.... | |
| Best 5K used or new for Musical A308cr System Find a used pair of Talon Raven-C spekaers. They will really rock, play soft or loud, have bass, are very clear, and also get the bybee filter upgrade and end your search. The Virgos do not do rock and roll with bass but do other things very well.... | |
| Krell or Levinson amos? The new Krell Mcx models are suprisingly really good. The Krell house sound in really gone with the new design.Happy Listening. | |
| What to upgrade next? Yes the room treatments and set up are also key, sorry I left that out (stupid me)but in the end the speakers will limit the system sound to whatever they are capable of. The system sould change significantly with Vandy 5As versus all the treatmen... |
