| Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000? I also agree on the Parasound Hint integrated---but maybe look at the Parasound preamp and a nice class D for power (Wyred 4 Sound, PS Audio...) Good luck! | |
| Why the cost increase? I got an email this week from Cary Audio (in NC) saying that their prices were about to increase in a day or so--a lot of their products are on sale at the moment. They cited the same reasons that most other companies have stated. It's a real sham... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? @mwinkc Thanks for the input--I've tried adjusting the tone controls but just I wasn't too happy with it. Hence, thinking of the sub. I realize my room acoustics is playing a part with this too. So a tweak here and a tweak there has affected the s... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? Thanks for the suggestions---I'm going to definitely check out the SVS subs! I had a passive Canton sub back in the day with 2 tiny satellite speakers with my Denon PMA 757 amp. I could shake the dishes in the kitchen in my old house. Fun times! LOL | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! I have a younger friend in his teens that has just starting to get into audio---he has a hand-me down stereo from the early 90s. To him, it's the world. He's starting to buy vinyl now and has started asking me about updating his stereo. I find it ... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? I don't think so---it would be extremely challenging to someone like me who listens to everything (classical, house, trance, classic rock....) | |
| Morrow Audio related to Audiogon? Why so many emails? I have Morrow cables and they are quite good. However, I still get tons of email as well. I also bought them on the 'Special 40% off' sale. LOL | |
| Vinyl...should I stay, or should I go? I understand how you feel. I've often thought about the same thing over the years but I eventually kept all of my vinyl. I have 45s, LPs and hundreds of 12" singles--I'm too emotionally attached to my vinyl. They hold too many fond memories for me... | |
| Bluesound is great when it works, but ... I purchased a NAD integrated a few years ago with BluOs and hated it so I returned it. I use Spotify Connect and the connection was if-y at best. If I would pick up my iPhone and walk around it would lose the signal. And when I got news alerts, th... | |
| Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Special 40 Hi @terracebk21 I just saw this thread today and was wondering what you decided on for your integrated? I have Special 40s and drive them with a Luxman 505UXII and they sound awesome. I hope you're happy with whatever you decided to get. | |
| SS Budget "Tone" Integrated Amplifiers Marantz PM8006 is a great integrated amp---Marantz tends to be on the warm side if that's what you're looking for. | |
| How do I get my mp3s from my hard drive to my speakers? With my system, I was able to add my songs from my hard drive to my Spotify account. My Marantz ND8006 CDP has a Wifi streamer with a decent DAC. So I stream from my iPhone to the Marantz. Works for me and sounds excellent, Hope this helps. | |
| What is your favorite album cover? Pet Shop Boys, Actually. | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? A lot of it comes down to expendable income---older audiophiles have the income to buy more expensive equipment than the younger folks. Plus stereo equipment back then was not as expensive as it is nowadays. Some of the younger audiophiles I follo... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Kraftwerk - Man Machine. Good stuff, hard to believe its from 1978! |
