| Tube vs. Integrated Amps As stated previously by Brutusab, it is in fact an amp and per-amp in a single box. Also, there are integrated that are tube and SS. These are usually referred to as "hybrids". These usually have a MOSFET output and tube input stage. Sonic Frontie... | |
| integrated amp w/ Triangle titus spks? I have the Antals and am using, with great satification, the Copland CTA-402. Granted this is well above your price point. Your $700 is going to be difficult unless you plan to buy used. More difficult if you want tube/hybrid. If you want new, you... | |
| Where to buy LPs online? My experience with Ebay has been mixed. If you buy from an EBAY POWER SELLER, you should be fine. Privately, you take your chances. People tend to over-rate their stuff. You can get, in limited selections, CDNOW.com. Your need to be pretty detaile... | |
| Best Guitar Band part11 Whattsa matta?? Nobody here a Who fan?? Isn't "Who's Next" one of everybodies Desert Island Disks?? Maybe no one has mentioned Tom Petty & the HeartBreakers because they were later, but these guys put out some great music. Also, despite the fa... | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? Why does everyone ignore the Densen product line? These pieces are as smooth or smoother than the products listed and are a far better value. Check out http://www.densen.dk/ and contact Audio Outlet in Mt. Kisco, NY for prices. | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Hey Sfbaydude, the problem with Aerosmith is Tyler. I'd rather listen to fingernails on the blackboard than hear him "sing". BTW, in the early years, Whitford blew away Perry. | |
| Cheap bi-wiring? There are two auctions on Ebay right now for Kimber cable. One is the 4PR, which is a single run of 22.5ft and the other is a 10ft pair of 8TC. You could split the 4PR into a 10ft pair for the HF and use the 8TC for the LF, re-terminate. Go to Eba... | |
| best 5 channel amp for home theater Your budget is the criteria by which "best" must be based. Aragon/Acurus, Proceed, Krell, Rotel, etc. all different prices and different sonic impressions. | |
| Power cord and interconnect advice Every cable/PC is going to offer something different. You may want to consider talking to the guys at The Cable Co. They offer trials with options. Check www.fatwyre.com They also sell pre-owned cables at www.usedcable.com | |
| C-J Combo: PV-5 and MF-2100; Si or No? You need to be careful on the PV5. It's an old piece and will need repairs/referbishing soon. The points made about the integrated is valid. However, if you find a CAV-50 at $1200, I'd be surprised! I auditioned the CAV50 against the Mesa Tigris a... | |
| BEST Power Cable Under $100 There is a seller on Ebay who has DIYs for $64.00 everyday. I have purchased three (3) of these for my CAL Alpha/Delta and my Copland CTA402. They have made a vast improvement! At the price, they cannot be beat and Matt Kim offers lifetime warrant... | |
| Ok, some of you suggested Magnepan 1.6QR Having owned many versions of Maggies, I have to tell you I was amazed with the OCM 200 on the 1.5s. Bass like no other amp. These can be found cheap on the used market, and I believe one is available from www.audiooutlet.com | |
| Best Class A Int. Amp? There is a Plinius 8150i out there right now that can be bought for under $2k. Get it. You cannot do any better in an SS integrated. If you want tube and can go a little more ($2200), I am contemplating selling my Copland CTA-402. See http://www.d... | |
| Digital RCA vs AES/EBU connections These are all very interesting responses. Hopefully mine, although not in agreement will offer some, will offer additional insight. I started with MIT T3 RCA cable from CAL Alpha/Delta. Replaced with XLO 4.1 w/AES-EBU connector. Dramatic improveme... | |
| Best Retailer Youve Done Business With? There are three audio dealers in the little town of Mt. Kisco, NY. Audio Outlet is the premiere store for service, selection and price. Frank and Mike have gone overboard to make me welcome and comfortable. Moreover, Audio Outlet is the best high ... |
