| speakers for classical music Thanks Duke. That was said early on and the OP got way more than he bargained for. Anyway, plenty of viable options were proposed. Hopefully he'll let us know what he decides.Dave | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? I've written a ton here on A'gon re JRDG. Guidocorona also has much to say. If you haven't already, you should search here for our comments and feel free to direct questions to us via email. Rod Tomson, proprietor of Soundings would be another goo... | |
| speakers for classical music Chadeffect asked:"Cant we have an amp technology that just works? "We can, that's why I bought Rowland, not because it's tube or SS, but because it works in my system.Dave | |

| What Solid State PreAmp? No offense taken Mrstark. Thank you for your concern.At the risk of staying OT a little longer, I see where some people might really enjoy tweaking and twiddling. That's totally valid. Still, for every tweaker that gets great enjoyment out of trac... | |

| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Gogirl said:"...As for gear,its analog that thrills me,digital chills me..."

| speakers for classical music Chadeffect said:"...about $2500. You would get a hell of a pair of headphones for that!"Absolutely, agreed.Davd | |
