| D'Agostino Momentum amp melts down Most amps fail the test. Bryston amps are not musical to my ears. I'd bet the farm that the Momentum sounds wonderful, but a used FPB 600 would most likely embarass it! Dan's best work has already been done:) | |
| Integrated Amp for V.A. Beethoven Baby Grands I've owned Krell FPB and Evo gear, ML as well as ARC reference gear. Lately, I have put together a new sitting room system based around my favorite speaker, the Totem Forests. I decided to try the NAD M3, an extremely well built High Current Bi-po... | |
| Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference Trust yourself first and foremost....not the Audio Elite. I have had Uber expensive gear and cables. I have also had more sanely priced equipment. Performance DOES NOT always go up with price!! Recently I dug out of my audio archives a Monster Cab... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? A surprise for me is the NAD M3 integrated, for build quality, design and most of all sound. The NAD sounds like a dead ringer for the Krell 402/202 combo I had a couple of years ago....now how's that for a bargain!! Maybe can't drive mega speaker... | |
| Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450 I heard the new NAD digital amp and was surprised just how good it sounded...I'm stickin with Class A/High Current designs however. Based on what I hear today, the 90's were "The Golden Years of High Fidelity"...gear does not sound more musical to... | |

Playing back a live recording is often times the best indicator of whether or not a system can reproduce sound f... | |
| i am looking to replace my Krell with tube amps, Audio Research....but ya might wanna keep the Krell. Should have picked up a KCT preamp...tube sound without the tubes! | |
| upgrading my integrated amp I would upgrade to Hawks and maybe get an NAD integrated...net reults may be better all around. | |
| Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450 There is something special about Class A or enriched Class A/B with high current and massive power supplies...the sound is more colorful and organic! | |
| Totem Owners.... I've owned Wilson 6's and Sophia's, Dynaudio C4's, B&W800N and PM1's, MLogan Odyssey's, Dunlavy SC-5's..to name a few! The Forest speakers I owned 7 years ago haunted me more than any other speaker I have owned or heard...so I bought them agai... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 I am waiting due to low post Holiday funds anyway:( | |
| Totem Owners.... Totem's are one of the few speakers that excel at low volume dynamics AKg ca...you must have had a real mismatch powerwise:) | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Modwright has a special this weekend only...I just ordered my second XA5400ES full mod wt Truth Umbilical and Bybee purifiers for the AC rails:) I made the mistake of selling my first one and have lamented ever since:( There will be music again, s... | |
| Sony XA5400 v Opp BDP-93 & DVDO Edge The Oppo players are uniquely ODD sounding to my ears vs anything else I have ever heard or owned...period! Sounds like it was put through a DSP setting on an A/V reciever. |
