| Remeber the FONZ???? I have the CQ 30. | |
| Integrated: SS or Tube? If you just want to change go after the sound. Look at Brinkman or Plinius. | |
| Let's talk tube amps - no ss discussion Marakanetz-- let's put budget aside for the time being and talk more about the Manelys. The new Mahi Mahi sound great! But, I do need a little more power. Have you heard their 50 watt monoblocks or the 100 watt integrated? | |
| Looking for Alternative Preamp to Blue Circle BC3 Sugarbrie is correct. We set up the 21.1 and the BC 24 amp with the Penaudio speakers at CES. It is a nice preamp. You would not be a "trial case" as all the components are proven and used in other preamps. If your goal is to upgrade, then be prep... | |
| Let's talk tube amps - no ss discussion Thanks for the input. Speaker sensitivity is 85 db, ouch! But they sound great. I have a CJ MV60. How do your recommendations compare? No one has mentioned Manely, Ayon or Joule. Any reasons? | |
| Help me select an integrated amp. Options please Let's mix it up some. The Brinkman, Manley Stingray, Plinius and Unison. | |
| Anyone heard outstanding sub/sat combinations? To better respond to your question as foreverhifi200 rephrased, yes, I have heard an outstanding sub/sat set up. And, Foreverhifi is right about set up and variables. I think this is one reason that the Pen Audio system worked so well. The sub is ... | |
| Let's talk tube amps - no ss discussion Since I left it open-ended, let's say 2500-3500 new or used. | |
| Looking for Alternative Preamp to Blue Circle BC3 Your thread raises more questions:What is in the rest of the system?Tube, ss or hybrid?Number of needed inputs?Actual price range?And, if you like it, why not just send it back to BC and have them retrofit it with the remote volume control? | |
| Monitor speakers for a change I wrote a respone a few threads down under Sat/Sub combinations. Give serious consideration to the Penaudio Charmisa. They should be available in the US in the Spring. Can you wait that long? If not, look for used ProAc Signature 50's, Dynaudio Co... | |
| Anyone heard outstanding sub/sat combinations? The January issue of HiFi+ gave rave reviews to the Pen Audio system from Finland. I first heard them in Finland in September and then again in October. The company is four years aold and the owner/designer has been making speakers for 10 years.Yo... | |
| Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps? John and Gary will make/remake the old 25/25 in a vintage monoblock configuration for $1500 for the pair. I am giving this careful consideration. They want 50% down payment. I am not sure about the turn around time. | |
| Electrocompaniet owners I will start the process of allowing Electro to recover. I used their products for years and loved the sound. They make good product as I stated. They suffer from cultural and 110 volt issues. Both of which can be corrected if they spend more time... | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... I heard Judit's comments before. The explanation is not saying that you are adding harmonics, but rather the results of existing harmonics. | |
| How much to spend to beat $1200 10yr old speakers? What type of music do you listen to? What do you want to spend? Do you want to stay with monitors? Finally, why do you think you need to replace the KEFs? |
