| best turntable under $5k Table or table and arm?And for that matter rember that your Cart and phono stage will DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR influence the sound of your set up.Also what kind of sound do you like (now what we like).Sprung suspension vesus hard mounted cones (used SME ... | |
| Recommend AC Power cord for my Krell FPB 200????? Hate it when folks change subject or reccomend alternative products w/o real and knowlegeable comparison products they have mentioned.Done all the time here.But I think a call to Krell would be in order to ask "If not from you from whom".I always ... | |
| Soliloquy 6.2 Very Poor Treble ..... Didn't Tannoy make an ad on tweeter.I am spacing on the manufacturers name but they make a G2 ribbon tweeter that I believbe can be added to top of speaker.Just Google "G2 tweeter" and it will come up.G'luckchazzbo | |
| What to buy See if you like the Maggie 1.6 @ $1600 list for speakers.You may not like them in terms of placemnent but coupled with a good budget MUSIC sub they are a great deal.Thing with subs is if you want them for HT the standards cxan be lower but for acc... | |
| Matrix 801 with Rotel RMB 1095? Should be ok to crank it up.It memory serves me the 801 could handle 600 rms.That said I mioght consider saving up my shekels and going for a used Nautilus set up.$3K is a lot ofmr a used 803 but will blow away the Matrix series in mids and highs.... | |
| another rookie DAC question..... See earlier post on question on Denon 2910 verus simillarly priced Sony.I think that either product will give you state of the art performasnce in the sub $41K category plus a number of differnt folks on A'Gon and other places will offer a whole s... | |
| Is the Denon DVD-2910 a Good DVD Player??? Haven't heard the Panasonic or read anything about it but my guess is your going to get better build quality with Denon.Also you have a number of folks out there that will do mods on the Denon if you have the scratch (and no pun intended) get the ... | |
| Need help with VPI HW-19 MK II motor/motor pulley. Simply call Mike the head tech at VPI.Very freindly,patient and as you might expect knows more than just about anybody else about your issues.G'luckChazzbo | |
| VPI Scout ... move to Scoutmaster or even further All excellent observations but rember that pre dollar yopur cartridge and phono stage are going to have a bigger impact on sound.Do what you can as finances permit but also think that comparing your current (excellent) Cart might be taken to a dea... | |
| Best amp for Vandersteen 2sig Funny I can't think of a speaker that has people more split.You either see there stramngths anf forgive there faults (or limitation).You either love 'em or hate 'em.There are other speakers out there like Maggie 1.6's (more pure bang for the buck ... | |
| Best Amp for Quad 989's? Agree that making switch to a SET like and 845 based tube where you could get 20 plus watts might be better than just going with push pull amp but it depends on room size and how much volume you want.Think you would better off with tube in any cas... | |
| Best amp for Vandersteen 2sig Not sure about the match but you can't deny the value you have out of the VTL.It laso sets you up if you ever want to trade in your 2.5 for identical line stage in the intergrated so you can bi-amp horizontally which would bring your RMS to a whop... | |
| what should I upgrade next? You said hardware but the list didn't mention DVD.For best bets there Sony or Denon for $1K or less are best bets.Anice solid rack goes a long way topward enjoyment if your itching to spend some more.I noticed that one of the A'gon dealers had a 4... | |
| Best subwoofer for Quad 988? If your going to go a DIY or get a passive job get a used NAD 218THX amp.225 wpc stereo and if you read the stereophile review the reviewer saidf it might be a bit thick in the mids but had more bass slam than any amp hje had revieed.You can pick ... | |
| Best subwoofer for Quad 988? I used to sell the Velodyne HGS subs.While they were great for HT they just weren't fast enough and pitch accurate for Maggie and ESL 63's IMHO.I would try REL imported by Sumiko.Like some other designs (like the $1250 budget champ Vanderteen they... |
