| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new I would look for a Classe amp in mint condition. Many consider the older models(CA-100/150/200/300/400)better sounding and having better build quality. You should be able to find a mint version of 1 of these models under $2K. | |
| Trip to NYC, What to do I would stay away from audio stores and search for used vinyl for my audiophile fix. Plenty of live music to choose from. The Iridium Jazz Cub is adjacent to a hotel that me and my wife stayed in, great way to save on cab fare. Avoid the overprice... | |
| First favorite tune Ghosthouse-"Chapel of Love" was #1 for 3 weeks(Billboard Hot 100)in June '64. It was performed by The Dixie Cups. | |
| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs The recent Alice Cooper thread reminded me that "School's Out" deserves a mention. | |
| First favorite tune "American Pie"-Not bad for a 7 year old! | |
| Any Alice Cooper fans? "Love it to Death" is a pop/rock masterpiece! Easily places in my top 50 pop/rock albums of the 70's. | |
| Magnepan MMG or something else Have you considered replacing your MAC-6600 with an amp with more PRaT? Maybe you don't have synergy with your cables? Remember a Magnepan needs many hours(500+)for a complete break in! | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Syntax-great point, correct speed and vibration control are essential. To many well designed decks forget about the power supply. A wallwart or inadequate ps on a $3k+ table is unacceptable! | |
| sansui or yamaha The Yamaha MX-1(production 92-97) is one of the best budget power amps i've heard! One just sold here a few days ago. | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Update-I purchased a used Rega P9 and received it today. Need to replace the mat and standard feet/belts. There are conflicting viewpoints whether a clamp or record weight is needed on a P9, any owners have an opinion? | |
| Project xtension 10 turntable I was considering the Xtension 10/12 but after many hours of research I decided to pass. 1-The motor can create hum/noise(after time) from the motor bracing vibrating. There are aftermarket kits to fix this. 2-Aftermarket feet are strongly suggest... | |
| 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/... |
