| How often do you get a chance to see live music I attend live music about 4Xs per month as in Seattle we have several jazz and blues clubs which are higher end establishments avoiding the drunken, loud inattentive blokes described by the previous respondant. Also, several festivals such as the ... | |
| Affordable SS Integrated for Merlin TSMs The Rega is really good and you might find an Exposure integrated in that price range. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers? Coincident Triumph. Single driver are all quite efficient. | |
| Integrated amp suggestions for Spendor S5e Okay..... I'll be the dissenting voice. I've listened to most of the Spendor line to include the S5e with various Naim. The Sim and Sugden both clearly sounded better. More resolution, dynamics with control of bass and in particular the vocals wer... | |
| ProAc Response D1 I've listened extensively to the D1 through top of the line Sim electronics with Analysis Plus Oval 9 cabling and it is quite good. It disappears, vocals are great and it is dynamic within its physical bounds. The D2 I've also listened to extensiv... | |
| Interconnects for NAD Electronics Signal Cable copper interconnects and speaker cable. Silver will be bright with these electronics. | |
| Budget amp recommendation needed Odyssey with upgraded caps (120K). | |
| I have $2000 to spend on speakers. Spendor S5 or Proac floorstanders assuming used is okay. | |
| Speakers....Epos and up Keep the Epos. Upgrade the NAD. If you really like that British sound, then check out the Exposure line of integrateds. Of course Cyrus, older Onix and others will also fill the bill. | |
| DAC advice If you really believe it's the front end then seriously look at the Audio Sector/Audio Zone or Scott Nixon DACs. I believe it's your Mac. I've listened to most of their integrateds and well....... I like the Arcam a lot and your choice of speakers... | |
| Sugden - Electrocompaniet - Naim - Accuphase Brevity is the soul of wit.Following models caught my attention:1. SUGDEN A21SE and CD21SE2 * 30 W class A amp. I’m wondering if this amp is going to drive my 805 with ease, as it is rather low powered? Is this pairing good for Rock music?The A21a... | |
| Proac D Two & LFD LE III Ryder is chartible in regards to the Naim pairing. I've listened extensively to this speaker with Naim and Sim as I am considering them for my next purchase. The Naim does the Proac D Two no justice. The Sim integrated was far more musical and ope... | |
| which budget integrated amp Rotel, NAD or other Rega. It just sounds right, build quality is great. | |
| Best used analog receiver under $150? Yamaha 620 or 820 late 70s early 80s vintage. Luxman 1050, same vintage. Luxman is a bit better in detail, vocals and less transistor grain. These pieces by the way will embarrass most of today's equipment. | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Chances are no improvement with higher end jumpers. I've also done the internal wiring, or should I say a well trained tech did it for me. He also bypassed the LED power meters and hardwired an upgrade power cable to the unit. This all improved it... |
