| Recommendation - Ref 3a, GMA, NHT or Fritz? Canjo07-I've heard an earlier version of the Decapo and I thought it was to colored in the midrange. I don't know if the current version has the same characteristics. The GMA is designed to use the room to achieve it's lowest bass output. This tel... | |
| Recommendation - Ref 3a, GMA, NHT or Fritz? Of the 4 speakers mentioned the Fritz Carbon 7 is IMO the best allrounder. The only issue is clarity/resolution(from what i've read). For value you might want to consider a used Revel Performa M20/22 since you have plenty of power. Also take a loo... | |
| Which $500 Speaker Next? With a $500 speaker sound quality should be most important not looks! With that in mind a 2nd hand ATC SCM 7 or Magnepan MMG will compete or exceed anything available at this price point, if your concerned about what's on the recording. | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable Bongofury-I never questioned your credentials, i've read many of your posts and I respect your knowledge. The issue is when you mention some Dual(no model #)dumpster find besting a Luxman that's been close to 30 years in the making well... A Garra... | |
| Recommend a used vintage receiver for under $100? Might be able to find a decent Toshiba SA-725/750 for around $100. | |
| Is the Simaudio Moon Eclipse good value? Help Always been a fan of Simaudio dacs-transports and players. Have always considered their amps-int.amps-preamps not performing at the same level of the digital gear(just my opinion). Would you be willing to pay for repairs if they occur(laser-transp... | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable Dave 72-There are always going to be people that claim vintage gear is equivalent(sound quality) to current gear. I think the price/performance ratio of current components upsets some longtime audiophiles and they develop a bias towards vintage ge... | |
| Any thoughts on McIntosh MA600 I've heard the 6300 and 6600 and was disappointed. The 6300 struggled to drive an ATC SCM11 which to some degree is understood. The 6600(200w/ch) sounded anemic mated to a Sonus Faber Liuto. Was it synergy or the MAC cd player? These are only 2 ex... | |
| what is my system's weakest link? With a limited budget the Thiel 1.5 must go due to demands they make with amps and offer little in return. As mentioned by others look into Focal, Triangle or even a current Rega speaker RS3/5 and keep the Brio. If you must have a Thiel speaker lo... | |

| Luxman PD-171 turntable IMO what could hold this well built turntable back is the tonearm. From what i've read it's very similiar to a Jelco 750, not the type of arm I would want on a $6k deck. Luxman should consider an armless model, my hunch is sales would increase. | |
| Sweet spot in the Shunyata power cords line up ? To really get to know a power cord you have to have it in your system. The older Python Helix does fit your $500 budget, but from everything i've read the Anaconda is much closer to the King Cobra. Some even like the Anaconda Helix over the Cobra.... | |
| Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers Be careful, RLwainwright recommends Emotiva for every loudspeaker(lol)? At $800 for a power amp and $1200 for an int. amp makes things tough. I would consider a Primare I31 or an Atoll In200. Both units are true dual mono(2-transformers) designs a... | |
| An integrated with a good phono Simao-I heard the 11S2 at the 2010 Akfest driving a Paradigm S8v3 and was impressed. The midrange on the S8v3 was excellent and I do believe the Marantz(pair)PM-11S2/SA-11S2 were responsible, living up to the reputation of having a near SOTA midra... | |
