| Integrated or Separates on a budget Also, any thoughts on the Arcam A90 or A80 (I know the A90 is likely out of my price range, but maybe not new). | |
| Integrated or Separates on a budget Jayboard- I have the space, but not sure I understand the hookup you're suggesting. Can you be a bit more specific? | |
| Integrated or Separates on a budget Thanks. I'm curious as to the comment on the NAD. The c372 (?) has been highly recommended here by several people. The issue with the speakers is I have an in-ceiling pair in the dining room - Polk (new but basic), and the Studio 100s as my "real ... | |
| Integrated or Separates on a budget Also, I was very much ready to buy the Creek - it is highly respected here. Having trouble finding it used, I started calling authorized dealers for demo units. A guy here told me they had several that either hummed or overheated and that they wer... | |
| Integrated or Separates on a budget By the way, I also have a phono need, and I don't need a remote, if that helps. Thanks so far for all of the suggestions. I was also suggested (by someone who wanted to sell me his), a Dared VP-845. 18wpc or whatever it is seems really low to me. ... | |
| Help Please By the way, I am currently having a hard time finding the used Creek as well. If you know of one, please let me know. Thanks. | |
| Help Please I have read several reviews on the c372, and not all were as ringing. I am looking at the Arcam A90 (used is hard to find, new too expensive), and the Creek 4340SE. Any other suggestions? | |
| Newbie Part 2 Tvad and Rar thanks. As for the DAC Tvad spoke of about, how does that connect to the carousel? With interconnects? Hard wiring?As for the Apollo, I have seen them used for about $750, but I have also seen things that suggest the first few that ca... | |
| Newbie Part 2 I was thinking $1200 or less. Actually, I was thinking a lot less, but I'm not sure that's reasonable. I think I've pretty much decided on the Rega Apollo for the cd player when I find all this money I plan to spend. | |
| Newbie Part 2 Thanks, Tvad. Any ideas what would fit those specs and a reasonable price? Anyone else? | |
| Newbie Part 2 Cheapmike - You said "Coupled with a decent DAC is a small improvment, coupled with a Whest digital gizmo at 3 times the price of the 25.2 is a better step up and at a total price of about $2300 is hard to beat until the $6000 range as next step u... | |
| Newbie Part 2 Oh yeah - a few more things. Part of what started the look for the amp is my current amp at the 9 o'clock setting is mildly loud. I like newer rock/alternative, and often like to boost it. I have also always been told that somewhere between 9:00 a... | |
| Newbie Part 2 The audio refinement dispute I was referring to was in my prior thread between 2 people here, but was not based on any amp reviews. | |
| Newbie Part 2 Sorry, put the Prima Luna Prologue in the amp section, and excuse the misspellings. Thanks. | |
| Newbie needs help Thanks guys. I am getting more info. both from you and "out there." Some of the prices quoted above I could not substantiate from the ads on this site. Also, I cam across a recommendation for a Korsun V8i (or a Dussun)? I have no idea what that is... |
