| Aurender AP20 Impressions @blisshifi So it sounds like the T+A receiver might be a better match for my system, which seems particularly vulnerable to the type of sibilance-fingernail/chalkboard tendencies, subtle as they are, of Class D in general -- and even my current ... | |
| Aurender AP20 Impressions @blisshifi Great post. Thanks for taking the time. Re: Comparing sound quality, compared to the less-expensive T+A R 2500 R (which you also sell): Similar, better, neither, big difference, small? Digital, audio? | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Anyone who’s having trouble "getting" Joni Mitchell ought to pick up Lloyd Whitesell’s book "The Music of Joni Mitchell." He analyzes every track in her catalog in terms of specific parameters: melody, lyrics/poetry, harmonic structure, personae, ... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Well, as a huge fan of the run spanning Beggar's Banquet through Sticky Fingers, my reaction to Exiles was the same as yours. I WANTED to like it, I believed it when people so much smarter than me told me I was SUPPOSED to like it, but I just co... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp Thanks again, @blisshifi and @mgrif104 I think my long search for the right integrated (and right dealership) is almost over. Everything I learn about T+A suggests that this German outfit is well on its way to carving out a prestigious reputatio... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @lldd (and bliss) Thanks for the contributions to this thread -- exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm in a state that has no audiophile dealerships, so I'm relying on dealers like Bliss (and Audiogon members, of course!) to ensure th... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @doyle3433 Really? I didn't know that Aurender made an integrated. ========== Looking at the specs, this does look like a great product, despite potentially being one of those "great sounding Class D amps" I referred to earlier. I do need an ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @doyle3433 Thanks, good feedback. But to put things into perspective, could you (and I mean in very general terms) compare teh overall sound quality to any other similarly priced configurations? Really, I'm getting more & more sold on this ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @tomic601 +1 | |
| Kind of Blue The 4-channel version of "Bitches Brew" is astounding. Multichannel sound is the perfect medium for a studio recording that is so dense with musical ideas. I'd lived with (and loved) the stereo Columbia release all my life but the surround vers... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? Direct hands-on comparison: My system includes a pair of 220wpc amps driving an easy load (Harbeths). It always sounded OK, but never quite like what was promised by the most credible published reviews. Cable upgrades, room treatments, vibration ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp Sidelight: Over the last week, I spoke with two acquaintances who are both long-time highly placed insiders in the audiophile industry whose ears and industry knowledge I've trusted implicitly for years. These were short conversations, but both ... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @joc3021 >My bias and preference is to support small, committed companies (preferably American) where you can have direct contact with the principals and they know who you are and will be responsive. Boy, that certainly describes Ayre. I kn... | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp @mgrif104 Did you have any experience with T+A support? | |
| T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp Late-breaking news: A colleague has suggested that I take a look at AVM's OVATION A 6.2 Master Edition integrated. It's analog only and comes in at a borderline 42 pounds, but wow, it sure looks like a great candidate in other ways. I need to i... |
