| Pro-Ject turntables I see Banerjba, I figured that much... | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Yeah, I'm gonna wait for the reviews too. Professional and consumer alike. I already have original US pressings of the whole catalog so these would really have to knock me for a loop in order for me to buy them. | |
| Pro-Ject turntables Thanks Dayglow for your input. That sounds good. And thanks Kiko65 for the advice. I will take all of this into consideration. Right now, I'm content with the Technics, but there has to be better, true? Another brand I've been eyeing is Clearaudio... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II The Krells are no slouches. Definitely give them a try. What do you have to lose? | |
| Pro-Ject turntables Ok, thanks for all the recommendations. My current 'table is the Technics 1210M5G and I might want to upgrade in the future. That RM 9.2 looks good, so I'll see if I can get an audition around here...I just wanted to make sure the quality was up t... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Ok cool, Wemfan, you're on the right path. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II You're welcome, Wemfan. The Parasound is a solid contender and is great bang for the buck (in high end terms.) There really isn't anything wrong with it. It's a very good set of amps.The Pass Labs, however, is something special, imo. It does cost ... | |

| What hooked you to audio? What hooked me? The music, the sound of the recordings, and realizing there was something better out there than low end consumer audio ie rack systems. A system that can extract much more out of the recording and present it in at least somewhat (d... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Also, consider the Parasound JC-1 monos. Those are $9000 (?) retail. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Well, if you're gonna go over $10k, then again the Pass Labs X350.8. And sure, call Pass Labs about it just to be safe. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II You're welcome, Wemfan. Another amp would be the Luxman B-1000f monoblock amplifier, but that is quite expensive, I believe. It is rated to go 2000W into 1 Ohm. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II As for amps, I would go for the bigger Pass Labs .8 A/B amps. At least the X350.8. Bryston 28BSST2 might be another consideration, as is the Accuphase P-6100. These are my favorite amps at the moment, and should drive your 801s to the fullest. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Cool, sounds good. Thanks for the report. I can't say too much about the matching amps and preamps as I've never owned the 801s. However, the better the components, the better those are gonna sound. I personally wouldn't screw with the crossovers,... | |
| Accuphase Power Amps Hi Simon,Ok, sounds good. Thanks. I suppose that makes sense since Bryston preamps are not the greatest and up to the level of their amps. Yeah, my sources are great to me, but not considered the ultimate by high end standards... |
