| need help with choosing right cables Trip. Just a thought. The discs you mentioned, that I know, are not great recordings to begin with. I suspect you may be looking for too much out of them. I don't think any cd player, within your budget, is going to make enough difference to make ... | |
| Amp for Aerial speakers? Classe with Aerial is a great match. They do need a lot of power though. The setup I heard, at the dealer, when I bought mine was with a CA301 and a VTL preamp. Very nice! | |
| Experience with Aerial models 6 or 7b No money. I owned the 6s for about a year. They are very nice. They do need power to open up. They could sound lifeless without it. I agree with Emster, 250wpc. I found this to be frustrating and limiting when choosing or changing amps. I now own ... | |
| what is a good match? I guess I should have also made a recommendation. I have heard the Classe CA301 sound nice with the N803s. I would listen to it with a tube preamp, like Conrad Johnson, Rogue, VTL or BAT. | |
| what is a good match? Davjms. No knock on the 803s, but if you are as you say "new to the audiophile world", I hope that you have listened to a number of speakers, with different setups. Gather as much info as you can, and speak to people other than dealers. Read the f... | |
| Best CD source? BMG averages about $8, including shipping and handling. Ok selection. Must be a member and don't let them send those silly cards that must be returned. | |
| Bose Infomercial Is it me? I get the feeling we're in "The Twilight Zone". | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? Bmpnyc, Is that what happens every few months that forces me to change something in my system? Cable "burnout". | |
| Classe CP-35 pre and Classe in general Vermonter, I used to shop there also. Select the merchandise on a computer and wait for it to come up on a conveyor belt. No salesman "interface". Hey, there's an idea! | |
| Bose Infomercial Tubegroover, I'm laughing here, but that guy is laughing all the way to the bank. My mother stays up late at night and buys that stuff. | |
| Bose Infomercial I like the spray on hair in an aerosol can and the pasta machine that looks like a "Play Doe" toy I had as a kid. | |
| Classe CP-35 pre and Classe in general Ehart. I suggest you call Classe and speak with Robert Adam. He is very generous with time and information. He has been quite helpful with me. I owned two CA151s and a CP50. The CP50 is a nice preamp and could be found used for around $1200. If in... | |
| How to match amp with pre-amp Classe matches very well with Conrad Johnson preamps, if you are considering tubes. The Classe CP50 is a nice full featured linestage, but does have a slight hum from the power supply. The 47.5 power supply is quiet, but in my opinion, it is a ste... | |
| New Maggie Owner; What amp???? Just wanted to add, I think 150 WPC would allow the 1.6qrsto open up. | |
| New Maggie Owner; What amp???? I think you should listen to the Classe integrateds. If you could stretch your budget, you should check out a used Plinius 8150 integrated. I have heard Classe with the Maggies, and it is a nice match. In any case, make sure you have enough curren... |
