| Cartridge suggestions for around 2K http://www.warrengregoire.com/hifi-stereo-phonocartridges.htmTry these. | |
| Does anyone have or used the Edge NL-10 If I were you, I would try some power cords first before upgrading the amp, or try both to see what makes the bigger difference in your system. LOL. | |
| Need opinions on all-in-one or separate dac. I heard Rcprince's modded Sony 777 in direct comparison to my stock 777 in his system a few months ago and posted my findings here on Agon. Go to referenceaudiomods.com for more info on Sony Mods. | |
| Amp, Pre Amp or CD for SF CREMONAS Upgrade the CD player 4 sure. Better sound dtarts there! AMps may sound different but in the same price range there seems to be little overall impact on the sound IMHO. | |
| Accuphase cdp direct guys: The Pass X-250 accepts RCA inputs and I do not feel that I loose anything that significant without the balanced ICs. | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Yeah but if is wasn't for big ol' Al, we would not be having this thread, remember hhe invented the internet!Go GW and the USA!!! | |
| Tube Preamp w/ Phono to replace Rowland Synergy II I tried the same thing, lokking for a great tube pre with remote. The ones I wanted cost bigger bucks than I wanted to spend and the others like the Hovland, First Sound, Lamm, had no remote. I ended up with the BAT VK-30SE. You may want to try th... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 vs. ProAc Responce 2.5 Typically the B&Ws work better with High Current amps and mostly SS. I own the matrix 803s and although they are efficient 91 db, they require a lot of juice to make them sing. Hope this helps. Overall I would prefer the N802s to the Pro AC bu... | |
| B&K vs Adcom – opinions please What is your price range? There are better amps for sale here on Agon. For example, look at the Kinergetics KBA-75 amps for sale. I am also going to sell mine if interested. You can get two of these class A amps for $1200 or one for $600 from Katl... | |
| Pass Labs X250 or X350 with Maggie 3.6Rs If I remember correctly, the X-250s are for both Box and non-box type speakers. I think the X-350 since it has no feedback was made for box speakers (or visa versa) call Pass on this. | |
| Which should I upgrade next? What is your AC line like, what power cables, ICs. isolation devices. Try some of these first and maybe speaker placement. | |
| Pass Labs amplifiers... Like Unsound has stated, the Aleph's have a warmer tone I think more in the midrange. The X series hasw more bass control and slam and maybe just a little moer extended up top. There are a great pair of Alpha 1.2s for sale here if you can swing th... | |
| CD Player for Macintosh / B&W N804 I am not sure what the used CALs multi disc CDPs go for used but they are very good for multi disc players. The Sony 777s are good and the audio notes are good in the price range. | |
| Help, Plinius SA102 and Dynaudio 1.3SE? I heard the Plinius in a system with ARC CDP-3, LS25 MKII and B&W N802 speakers and it was killer. The system had mucho dynamics and details probably a combination of the system but the amp had a good hand in it. | |
| to pre or not to pre....that is the question.... The improvement may not be that big but just different unless you are going to spend some cash. You would probably get more bang with a better CDP, ICs and cables, along with some tweeks. For example, the wadia 861 will probably sound much better ... |
