| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse I've owned the SA20 and I now own a PL EVO 300 preamp, which feeds a pair of Belles Aria mono blocks. I'm sure you already know to take advice here with a grain of salt, but I never liked the SA20 because, unlike the broad consensus, I found it v... | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever I was in the same boat as you and decided to use PVF exclusively for cleaning all my records, new or used. I think the service is great, but I do have some records with a few clicks and pops still. So perhaps Perfect Vinyl Forever isn’t so "perfec... | |
| Anthem vs Arcam Looks like you've already gotten plenty of good advice, but I'll chip my 2¢ in nonetheless. I've had both brands albeit in two different systems. I had an Arcam SA20 integrated amp driving a pair of Vandersteen 1Ci speakers. I bought the SA20 b... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? I currently use a tube preamp with HT bypass for both of my systems. I use the Quicksilver Linestage in my family room. It’s great and I really like it. I also have a Prima Luna EVO 300 in my main system, which I love more for its main purpose as ... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC I received my new EVO100 DAC a couple of months ago. I have a Lumin D2 streamer/dac that sounded a bit too shouty for my tastes. So I thought I would try upgrading the dac to see if that would help. I debated for months on whether to get one of... | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System FWIW, my main rig is in a dedicated listening room with only one chair. I have a 7.2.4 Atmos setup, but my AV pre/pro’s LR outputs feed the HT bypass inputs on my separate stereo preamp. I sacrifice nothing with my stereo listening this way. Si... | |
| Integrated Amp $1200 or less I was in a similar position as you several months ago. I tried a new integrated. I got a smoking deal at Music Direct for a B stock Arcam SA20 and while I really really like it, I ended up swinging for the fences and upgraded my Node 2i altogeth... | |
| Nuforce STA200 RV said to listen for extra brightness when bi-amped. I had time, so I compared and found no additional brightness. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning one of them. I really like the sound staging and imaging from the amps. Bas... | |
| Nuforce STA200 I wanted to report back that I have now tried a pair of the STA200s vertically bi-amping my Vandersteen’s. No oscillating! Phew! The amps sound great, but they’re still breaking in. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Thanks JL35 and Mr.D. I think I’ll see if RV knows about the NF amp. I might even ask, in a diplomatic way, whether his retraction was an overreaction to a minute number of incidents. Thanks again! | |
| Nuforce STA200 Hi Mr.D. I was hoping to hear from you. Your comments about this amp are largely why I decided to buy a pair. Apparently, RV used to recommend vertical biamping in his manuals, mine included. He now recommends against it on his website and his... | |
| Nuforce STA200 I know this is an old thread and I am a new member, but I have a question about the STA200 for which I cannot for the life of me find an answer. Is it stable driving a capacitive load? I have Vandersteen 2ce Sigs that I want to vertically biamp ... |
