| The "charactor" of pure Class A? Own the Sugden A21SE integrated. I've owned very good SS/tube amps over the years, a myriad of English, Japanese and American built. The characteristic that most impresses me with the Sugden is the lightening quickness. I was convinced that I had ... | |
| CD player to match Arcam A65+ Integrated Second the Arcam. I've run my Arcam Mini Solo using tape out (CD 73 inside) through my main system (Sugden A21SE and Coincident Triumph) just for grins and it astounded me with dynamics, air and decent resolution. | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Just purchased Sugden A21SE integrated. Have owned VTL Tiny Triodes monoblocks and custom built tube preamp. Must say that Sugden is damn nice and gets most things right. The Class A amplification is lightening quick. Vocals and acoustic piano are... | |
| 60 Cycle hum and HumX I read all of the discussion forums on this problem and finally purchased a $.78 3 prong to 2 prong converter to isolate the ground and diagnose. Diagnosed, I then disassembled the male portion of the Hubbell, disconnected and curled back the grou... | |
| Jazz at the Pawnshop - LP Original was not Direct to Disc. I believe the liner notes describe a modified Revox A77 used. | |
| NAD since the 3020/7020 Been told by dealers that the 30th anniversary edition integrated 320BEE (50wpc) or whatever it is, is a very good piece and harkens back to the days of yore for musicality. Other than that, it's a crap shoot as the line has changed hands several ... | |
| Small integrated Peachtree Decco is 13 3/4" wide according to literature. This is a GREAT integrated made much better by investing $30 into an upgrade 6922 tube. Plenty of inputs and wife should love asthetics. | |
| Amp: Integrated - Used; - Sub $750 Help :- Luxman 491 hybrid with upgraded preamp tube will make the B&Ws sing. An English made Onix 60 or 120 is also very nice. You didn't mention musical tastes and the English audio tends to not do so well with badly recorded rock material. Good luck. | |
| Low Cost Surround Speakers Decent Monitors Acoustic Energy One was listed here from dealer for $149. That is a beautiful cheap monitor. Does vocals/piano very well. | |
| Vintage integrated Amps. What to look for? You left out Luxman and Tandberg?!? | |
| does the 640 cambridge int.amp have an output for Go to Cambridge website and download the manuals. All questions shall be answered by this action. | |
| Jazz:swingin, groovin modern big band recordings. All Clayton-Hamilton albums are great. | |
| Audio Note AN-K or pony up for AN-J Take the difference in price and divide by how many years you will reasonably keep the speakers. If that annual amount seems worth the jump then you have arrived at defendable rationalization for the upgrade. If not, bail. | |
| Which Oppo to get? I set up a 981 with an Assemblage 2.0 modified DAC for a friend and it was very respectable. As a stand alone it is only tolerable for 2 channel. Bright, a bit thin with wandering bass. But for 2 bills, just what do you expect? | |
| Best portable/outdoor speakers for a MP3 player B&W used to make a Rock Solid for outdoor use which was very decent and now very cheap used. |
