| Counterpoint SA20 Okay. I'll try to be diplomatic about this.There are many 20 year old & older pieces of gear bought, sold, praised & put down on this site.In the case of amplifiers, I have repeatedly suggested to anyone who asks, IMO the Adcom GFA5500 equ... | |
| Counterpoint SA20 There's a Counterpoint SA-5000 preamp listed today on Audiogon. Read the ad or better yet email the seller.You'll probably want to sell the amp ASAP, after this... | |
| Can car amps be used for home audio? Buy an Adcom GFA5500.Don't ever mention car audio or Bose, on this site.You'll be fine. | |
| So, what's your audio resolution for 2012? I'm selling all extra gear, to upgrade my main system.Happy New Year! | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 My Pass XP-20 & my Rowland 625.Another level up! | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Barrysandy,I've got to take exception to your comment the XP-20 isn't3D.My system is currently an Electrocompaniet EMC1-up, Pass XP-10, and Rowland 625, into Sonus Faber Concerto Domus floorstanders. (1) James EMB-1200 adds some low end.This syste... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? My class AB amp is on 24/7.I subscribe to the thermal cycle philosophy.I don't consider the energy wasted, I'm in my living room almost all the time I'm home.Next April, when my AC is on for the first time, I'll box it up & go to Class D ampli... | |
| Have digital players improved My Electrocompaniet EMC-1Up is still the best player I've heard for $2.5K used.I'm on my 2nd one, this one has the spider clamp.Maybe it's lasted because it's oversampling sounds so good, to me.I'm too lazy to play LPs anymore. I admit it!I sold m... | |
| Newbie -- expert thoughts on PA2400 vs GFA5400? Saru,I've tried the low power & high power route.If your system is in a small room & doesn't ever clip,you're fine.If your in a larger room, and you want to play loud,you'll want more power. | |
| Newbie -- expert thoughts on PA2400 vs GFA5400? Saru,I have owned the GFA 5400 & GFA 5500.I'm not familiar with the HK amp you mention.There are 2 schools of thought, on amplification.One says a minimum amount of amplifier (watts & outputdevices) will sound best if you don't clip the am... | |
| Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound... I have a different take than measuring temperature.I took my last Pass Aleph 30 & plugged (only) it into a PS Audio P300.The amp drew 210 watts on the P300 meter upon start up.(This amp has no standby mode).After approximately 35 minutes, the ... | |
| Armoire between speakers Sinner, Repent!Seriously,I have found over time that the less between the speakers,(even going to a shorter equipment rack) the better.You're just compromising the sound, now. | |
| Need more headroom Digepix,I own (5)Murano amps with the same B&O module as the WFS amps.These amps simply don't sound good with high efficiency speakers like Klipsch.If you're set on this matchup, I'd suggest strongly you audition first. | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Brownsfan,Perhaps if you listed the system you heard the 3.7s in, it would give context to your comment.Teajay,I know where you're coming from, I've seen your system listed, and I do admire it.Now that Magnepan is going the same route as Wilson, i... | |
| Jeff Rowland Design Group's Stereo 625 Audioman58,You simply need RCA to XLR adapters. I've used them on Rowland amps & BAT preamps. |
