| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Another decent thread on A'gon derailed by a couple of wanna-be, butt-hurt, know-it-all pseudo-scientists. Please see my first response to this thread on page 1. | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? I don't know about "final", but I am happy with what I have and don't see changing anything in the foreseeable future. Main equipment: Classe CP800 preamp Classe CA2200 amp Emerald Physics 2.8 OB speakers Rythmik G22 Dual-opposed 12" sub Yam... | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 @roxy54 , the OP mentions a CT-2300. It's pretty beefy. | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 I'm partial to Classe. Overbuilt with oodles of power. Weighs in at around 100lbs. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Oh, come on already. I'm at the point where I refuse to deal with anyone who says they can't hear a difference in cables, power cords, fuses, etc... Of course they do. It's the same old thing, over and over and over and over. | |
| What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay I just looked it up and from what I can tell it is 6.5% + broker agent fees. | |
| What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay No offense, man.....but I'm not liking how this is sounding. That being said, I would expect that if you get stuck at customs, you can probably plan on 10% of the declared value (that's about what it is for watches). I'd plan on it, actually, esp... | |
| Any recommendation for a CD changer? Onkyo is the only brand (that I am aware of) that still makes a CD changer. If you want to shop used, you can pick up a Sony ES changer off Ebay for dirt cheap. They're pretty much bulletproof. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? ? I dunno. My main components are pretty old, but were pretty well reviewed back in the day. How's it sound compared to today's finer SS amps/preamps? Probably holds it's own without embarrassing itself. Works fine for me. Now, if you compared... | |
| Amp first approach to build a system. Anyone did it ? That’s how I did my latest system. Amp/Preamp first, and then just added to it as I could afford to/found good deals. I'd say it has worked out pretty well. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? I’d say it depends on your definition of what a "Reference System" is. | |
| How to connect susb to my system @soix , If he uses the preamp to connect the sub off of an additional "main out" on the preamplifier, the speakers will still receive the full range sound from the amplifier. (the other "main out" from the preamp goes to the amplifier, which powe... | |
| How to connect susb to my system Let me know when you get it rocking. You may have to turn on the output in the preamp, I don't know... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @curiousjim , I own a mint 2012 Jaguar XK convertible w/ 33k miles on it. It's parked in the garage for the winter (need to put the battery conditioner on it, actually)..... It's as exotic as I need. It's nice, yeah, it's pretty fast, just a very... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @audioman58 , also a good point. Everyone has a budget. Choose wisely, but enjoy what you choose. I would never crap on someone's system, but I do get tired of being told by a novice what I can and can't hear. |
