| Atma-Sphere MA-1 Mk.3.1 Vs. Atma-Sph. MA-2 Mk.3.1 What are the specs on your Tannoy speakers (sensitivity, nominal impedance, min impedance, etc...)? It all depends on how difficult a load the Tannoys present to the partnering amp and how load you like to play your music. | |
| CD-Receiver Recommendations This thread may be helpful: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1290892272&openfrom&2&4#2I suggested the Esoteric RZ-1 ($6K) on that thread but it does not have a tuner (has everything else though). It was recently review... | |
| New SS Integrated from ARC DSi200 ... Thx for the feedback Denona1xva. Enjoy your new amp. ARC makes great products. | |
| Best Cables for ARC gear Vdosc...I have Ref 3, Ref 110, and CD 7 set-up and I actually use Nordost Heimdall ICs and SCs and Shunyata PCs. The Shunyata PCs make a noticeable improvement and I think in their current line-up the Black Mamba hits the sweet spot. Within the No... | |
| Best Cables for ARC gear Why can't you let your friends see you with cheap mic cables?? If they are working for you, then stick with them and thank your stars you don't have to spend a bundle on cabling. Use the money to buy music. My 2c worth. | |
| Spending on dac vs amp Mizuno...that is a fair summary of the comments and I think a very valid approach. I would only say, don't get too stuck on the exact dollar amounts and place a lot more emphasis on trying to find components that are synergistic with one another. ... | |
| Spending on dac vs amp You will get all manner of answers ranging from spend a majority of your budget on the source to the majority on your speakers and everything in between. My view is that buying equally capable components across the playback chain that are synergis... | |

| looking for an "all in one" unit. What's a manus?I believe the OP was abbreviating: manus = manufacturers. So he was asking if there are other manufacturers that produce "all-in-one" units other than NAD which he is aware of. | |
| SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities Phaelon...I am absolutely not suggesting that and I do not believe I am missing the point at all. Ofcourse, his speaker's sensitivity and impedance characteristics (not to mention phase angle profile across the frequency spectrum) will determine w... | |
| looking for an "all in one" unit. Tiggerfc...first of all, the OP did not list a budget so I am not sure why you are voicing your opinion about how much the RZ-1 costs. Also, if you were to try to piece together a system comprised of separates that accomplished all the things that... | |
| SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities Phaelon...the OP was not asking for an amp recommendation to match his speakers. He was asking for SS amp recommendations that have characteristics of tubes with specific emphasis on midrange warmth etc...The presumption is that he is knowledgeabl... | |
| SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities Hybrids will fit the bill nicely with tubes in the preamp stage and SS output stage. There is very little fussing you need to do with the signal tubes in the pre stage and they typically last 5000-10000hrs (depending on the amp design and signal t... | |
