| Sansui au 2900 for dedicated 2 channel vinyl? 1- Your amp is a stereo unit, not quad. You are seeing 2x 2 channels (A & B) - that's very common on 70s/80s consumer gear.2- I believe that your amp is rated at 25W per channel. I could be wrong, but that is what is listed on one of my refere... | |
| Sansui au 2900 for dedicated 2 channel vinyl? If it were me, for a room of that size and given your musical choices I would probably go for an "old school" speaker:1- I still think that the A25s will work great, but so will the SP-200s.2- Another good, low cost option is the Boston Acoustics ... | |
| Sansui au 2900 for dedicated 2 channel vinyl? Congratulations on your AU 2900 purchase. You mentioned that this system is going into your office. How big is the room, where are the speakers going to be placed, what type of music do you listen to and how loud?If you are going to be in a smalli... | |
| Sansui au 2900 for dedicated 2 channel vinyl? The AU 2900 will work fine for a small room system. It is a very good, entry-level vintage amp. If it were me I would look for an x17 (117 through 917) model; they will be in the same price ballpark but are substantial units.At low listening level... | |
| Speakers on floor? I agree with Kal. I have tried many of the tweaks advocated by Mapleshade, and my experience has been less than positive.I have tried may different speakers on the floor, albeit with thick cutting boards underneath and not Mapleshade products. No ... | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range Buy USED! Allow someone else take the depreciation hit on the new gear. Most guys that buy high end gear baby it anyway, so you can look at it as receiving a substantial savings for allowing someone else to break in your gear. | |
| Quality tube amp below $1k? Are you considering new only, or is used OK. There is a ton of great stuff available for under $1K.Can you be more specific re: your requirements: power amp only or integrated? Integrated phoino stage or no? PP or SET? Power rating? Remote? | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership I enjoy digital music for casual listening, as in background music while cooking dinner or when guests are visiting. But when I listen to music for myself it is almost always vinyl. It's a more organic and satisfying experience for me; from both a... | |
| Audio Note Step up transformers I have owned an Audio Note AN-S2, and I have used an AN-S4. The S2 was an older unit and was good, but not great IMHO. The S4 was a more recent unit and was very, very good. Much more detailed and coherent.Neither was as good as the Choir Audio SU... | |
| Tips for buying used Vinyl needed I seek out and listen to mono recordings for the same reason I look for 78s - there is a large body of music available in these formats that you just won't find on stereo recordings. But unlike most 78s, mono LPs actually sound great. But in order... | |
| Tips for buying used Vinyl needed This thread should become a sticky - there are a lot of good tricks and tips that have been mentioned so far. My 2 cents worth is:1- Universally, the worst LPs as a class are rock & roll; especially "classic rock". It's so bad that I won't eve... | |
| CAV-50 and 804 Diamonds The CJ CAV-50 is a wonderful, sweet little integrated amp. As you suspect, however, it is not a good match for the B&W 804s. If you love your speakers you will need a new amp, and that probably means SS to mate well with the 804s. What kind of... | |
| Audionote Soro SE, or cheaper single-ended? I have an Oto SE, and in my opinion it is a pretty warm sounding amp out of the box. Mullard EL84s will sound warmer than the stock tubes, but IMHO there is also a loss of the pleasant clarity and timbre or grain to the music.I have tried new tube... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe ...I did mean to say that it is not the right /best amp for the AN speakers and not that it is low end in sound.Glory - fine, except for the fact that this is what you originally said: Why would you want to run such a cheap/low end amp on the AN s... | |
| My Final Choices For New Amp - Need Your Help Here's another option I'm sure that you have already considered: lose the amp altogether and substitute Meridian DS speakers for your Silverlines.It's a different sound to be sure, but I find the DS5xxx speakers are very neutral and can be tuned t... |
