| best 5.1 reciever???? If you don't need the video processing (HDMI), I run mine straight into my display, and can run the 5.1 audio out of your disc player, into the 5.1 inputs on the receiver, the Marantz SR-14ex and Pioneer VSX-59TXi are both great ways to go. The Pi... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp USA or Europe Rotel RA-1062, 450.00 to 495.00 used. Great value. 60 watts per channel, remote controlled, built in phono, good build quality, surprisingly good sound, two sets of speaker terminals. Next step up would recommend YBA Integre DT, not really more po... | |
| Best Chicago area HIFI shop? For a great experience go see Euclid at Synthesis A/V at 410 N. Wells near the Loop. Tell him David from Michigan says. Very knowledgeable, a real pleasure to deal with. Many years in the business. | |
| Need to steer away from Bryston amp added to AVR I second the McCormack DNA 0.5. You might even be able to get DNA 0.5 Deluxe in that price range. Good luck. | |
| Building a HT system using 2ce signatures? Hi Ian, I have used Vandy 2ce Signatures with the VCC-1 and then 1c's in back. Great tonal match. You might need to experiment with the 1c placement. The VCC-1 is great for vocal etc, it's weakness is if there is a lot of low frequency information... | |
| Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends I have been a guitar player for 30+ years and into audio since the 1970's. Yes, I can still hear the subtle differences! I have even had my hearing tested over the years. I upgraded the power cord for my Marshall JCM900 50 watt reverb top, running... | |
| $2000 budget -- what to buy? Vandersteen 2ce's (600.00 to 700.00)Sony DVP-9000es (He could watch DVD's too and play SACD's.) (400.00 to 500.00)Rotel RA-1062 integrated amp. (500.00 to 600.00) These are used prices. Money left over for quality cables too. | |
| Integrated fo Vandersteen 1C Hello, I have had Vandersteen 1c's and 2ce's that I have driven with Rotel RA970 integrated amps, Mission Cyrus One, and Adcom GCA-510 integrated amps, all with great sound. You should be able to find any of these used for 250.00 or so. The best I... | |
| Hendrix Voodoo Much of Hendrix's magic was the work of producer / engineer Eddie Kramer who was instrumental in creating sounds that Hendrix told him he wanted his guitar to sound like. I believe he may still be at Electric Lady Studios in NYC. | |
| Best used SS 100 - 150wpc for a grand or less? I would agree with the McCormack suggestions, I have used Vandersteen 2ce's with DNA 0.5 Deluxe amps with great success. Vandersteen's were often paired with McCormack amps at shows too. | |
| Integrated Amp and Speakers for a teenager? I would second the recommendation for the Vandersteen 1c's for speakers. For an integrated the Rotel RA970, 971 or 972 would all be great matches. That should even leave you money for cabling like Kimber PBJ's for interconnects and maybe Audioques... | |
| Mccormack preamps Hello, I have owned many McCormack products over the years including DNA 0.5 Deluxe amps, TLC and TLC Deluxe with EPS (External power supply) preamps, and an ALD preamp with the SMc Audio B+ upgrade. I have also owned the DAC1 Deluxe and SST-1 CD ... | |
| Why Sellers Forget To Update Ads, Sold/ Pending Hello Audiogoners, I mark my ads as sale pending once I have been notified by the buyer that the payment is "in the mail". I just completed a sale where the buyer sent the payment by regular mail and it never showed up. He did send it overnight ab... | |
| Good, mid-price tuner? I have owned many nice tuners over the years, but recent ones I would recommend are the Rotel RT990 (300.00 to 375.00 used) and the Sony ST SA5es (350.00 to 500.00) used. Both sound great and the Sony is a giant killer. | |
| Does anyone know who makes the Lexicon LX Amps Hello, it is my understanding that Crown makes the new LX amps. |
