| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? You bought a Syrah, Simon? I'm jealous. Now tell us all about it. | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k No one's said Arcam FMJ A23 yet, which surprises me. | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D2 MKII vs. Lyra Dorian Yeah - good point on the Lyra's and tubes - I have a Cary Rocket. This may very well be that the Dyna has a tighter presentation on a solid state. I still say it's all about synergy, and carts/tables/phono are the trickiest. It seems better to int... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D2 MKII vs. Lyra Dorian My experience with the Dorian has been much more positive than the Dyna. The Dorian is a focused cart, though not totally detailed, and it is very well balanced. The Dyna seems a little mushy to me, and euphonious in the way the Benz's and Grado's... | |
| nice turntable that plays 78s Also can play them (every product but the basic Scout, I think) - with the controller you can even phase shift. One of the arguements that almost swayed me to the dark side. | |
| Help with cartridge selection I have to disagree with Mustang - the 501 is a great unipivot cartridge. Almost every table I have heard it on has a unipivot arm. It is heavy though, but most everyone knows to stay away from cheap unipivots anyway. | |

| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k I hear the Joseph's are fairly non-dependent on wattage - lower sensitivity but more or less independently fixed at 8 ohms. | |
| Paradigm vs. Aperion Audio I have a pair of Monitor 7's and their 10 inch sub - very musical. I listened much further up the food chain and finally decided that $5000. (or an extra $3500.) was not enough to justify the extra 5% of listening. When paired with a good amp like... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies Of course it would cost $200000. | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Why is it when someone mentions Pass a thread gets derailed? | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hey - Goatwuss - The best way with stereo subs is an extra set of outputs on the preamp via RCA - usually I set the volume on the sub to a certain level (using it as gain) then the preamp can be used as a master volume control. And then ditto Raul... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I agree - I only have one on the left channel (where LFE for DVD's is) and with music it really needs to be in the center between the two other speakers or else it sounds not so great. Like, who knew bass players never crossed the stage? Raul - H... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hey, Black Adder - I happen to agree with you (and thanks for the thumbs up on the system, btw) - room shape, etc. is very important, and the overtones/undertones make the most difference in musicality of presentation. I have no real bias, except ... |
