Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help I made the decision to go fully balanced. I am even looking into going balance for my turntable/phono pre. It has made the world of difference. Just get a balanced DAC and you're all set. When you play in this range, going balanced is pretty easy.... | |
MW Sony HAP-Z1ES Mitch, that's the real question here. Thanks for asking. I also wish that it had toslink and coax inputs for the DAC so that I could use it for the whole system...TV and some other digital components. Until that happens, I don't want extra boxes i... | |
MW Sony HAP-Z1ES Thanks all...I'll check it out...Digital is my weak link...Listening to my Basis/MB Glider/Heed Quasar right now and loving it. It's just light years better than my digital and the record isn't even that clean right now. | |
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Where can you hear them? | |
MW Sony HAP-Z1ES Who is Dan? Was this a mod and if so how much? What is the rest of your system? I've been very interested in this model. | |
RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss Are they a very small company? I assume that's why there is such a time lag. | |
What can I improve in my audio system for better s I personally think that it's going to be tough to find what you are looking for with what you have. I have started all over a few times in order to get products that work together to sound the best they can. It's not difficult to do in all the pri... | |
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Lot's of choices. I'd love to see you get an Ayre and put it up against all the other choices you have. That will tell us about your ear, lol. | |
Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned I've always found that once you introduce a sub that isn't integrated into the speaker itself, it has continuity problems. I just have a blending problem with subs and that includes very expensive subs, but again that's just me. I got the Treo's s... | |
Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned I just went to Vandy Treos from Proacs. Still love the Proacs but no other speaker I heard can match everything that Vandys do in their respective ranges. He keeps making a better and better sounding speaker. I've heard so many brands over the las... | |
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Just my personal, but I listened to all the integrated's talked about in this thread and the Ayre was heads and toes above the others a couple aren't in the same class at all. PEsonally, I hope you get a chance to go listen for yourself. I have us... | |
Speaker recommendation for use with a Mac ma6600 Like I said and like Z has posted, you have a lot of choices. With that amp, the Proacs and Vandy's may be your best bet. Dollar for dollar on the used market you usually get a bit better value. The only thing I'd say about the Vandy 2's is that y... | |
RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss wow, that's a lot to raise prices. Personally that's a red flag for me for any company. If you are offering a special, then call it that. To raise prices that much just rubs me the wrong way. Price it fairly to begin with I guess. I also hate it w... | |
Speaker recommendation for use with a Mac ma6600 I have a pair of Proac Supertowers that I'm selling in teak. I actually had them running on that same integrated for a spell and it sounded great. It was in a very large room (open air condo) and it filled it with a great soundstage and imaging th... | |
RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss and now I really want to hear them, lol. |
