| Opinions on 4 Integrateds Paraneer-HEA is just a lazy way of saying high end audio! My concern with the Marantz is they have a "soft" sound matched with the "polite" VA Bach you could have overkill. | |
| Opinions on 4 Integrateds Paraneer-I have read two many blogs claiming Creek amps don't like being pushed hard. I think there are many better choices(quality) then Music Hall. The VA Bach and Magnepan MMG are clearly(IMO) the best entry level HEA floorstanders out there. D... | |
| Opinions on 4 Integrateds IMO the Arcam A38 should have the best synergy with the VA Bach. I do think the Bach deserves a better amp then the 4 mentioned. An Atoll-IN200-Krell-400xi and Primare-I31 have synergy-power and current to get much more out of the VA Bach. The Ato... | |
| Which integrated amp? No, I have not heard the Anthem but the build/parts quality are not on the same level as the amps I mentioned, that usually correlates to sound quality. The power rating is also a little suspect. My best advice is to look into the Quad 909/99 amp/... | |
| Which integrated amp? Gizmology-The Exposure 2010-S2 will prefer a near steady 8ohm load over a speaker that dips into the 4ohm or less region. Rotel amps are fine value performers but still(IMO)have a SS harshness/stridency. The amps I have mentioned have a solid tast... | |
| VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III? VPI tables have never been known for PRAT. | |
| Which integrated amp? With the type of music you prefer and with the aggressive treble of the B&W CM series the Vincent appears to be the best fit. I think the Unison could be to soft for rock/funk, MF could accentuate the B&W flaws, and the Exposure might be u... | |
| NORMA Amps Tmhaudio-If there is a 2013 Akfest(Novi MI) please make an attempt to attend! | |
| Mellencamp vs. Seger vs. Springsteen Martykl-I'm a fan of Joe Jackson, but never bought into the Elvis Costello hype. Squeezing out Sparks is the only Graham Parker recording I own. From what I can recall(no turntable for many years) it's a great album. | |
| Mellencamp vs. Seger vs. Springsteen Bdgregory-Not claiming Mellencamp-Seger-Springsteen are the best all time songwriters. During the late 70's-late 80's these 3 produced some of there best and most popular works. IMO it's a close call which artist was the best during this period. D... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Fjn04-Have an Allnic H-1200. | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Fjn04-My goal was around $5k for tt/arm/cartridge which i'll probably exceed(lol)! The Avid and AS retail at $4500(no arm) but discounts can be found. One retailer has a new P9 for $3995 so I expect the price(s) to fall even more as the RP10 is un... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Fjn04-I think i've read every review regarding the Rock 7. I just think at this price level a seperate power supply and speed control should be standard, not a $1900 option. Rega is now taking pre-orders for the flagship RP10 in the UK. Rega has r... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Roscoeiii-Having read your other posts I assume you own the Townshend Rock 7? Is it true that the standard motor is very power cord sensitive? Does the standard motor use a wall wart as a power supply? These possible issues had swayed me away from... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Pani/Manitunc-Thx for your response. The Diva 2 i'm considering is the SP model. Which has a 6.3kg platter vs. 2.5kg it also adds speed control. I would never expect a basic Diva to outperform a P9. |
