| choose a Rack to complete my system Tough question. Racks are as big of a rip off as anything. Buy used and don't don't spend more than a grand. | |
| Primer reading for new Rogue Cronus owner? I had a Cronus and loved it. Enjoy your time with it. It takes a solid 20-25 minutes for it to sound its best but that doesn't mean you have to wait that long to begin listening. | |
| B&W design quality observation. Any downside You'll all laugh but my favorite speakers were B&W DM602's. I paid $600 for them new in 1997 and they were just amazing for me. I bought CM7's that I thought sucked the head after that but those 602's were some rock and roll speakers. I was ti... | |
| CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED I own the H200 and was actually emailed through Audiogon from a dealer Who mentioned that he and everyone that works for him thought the H200 was better than the H300. I found that to be an interesting email but of course I felt good about it. I'm... | |
| My Rogue 99 preamp is haunted? That's awesome and I'm sure Mark and the boys were happy it wasn't something serious (and you too). I'm in Philjolet's camp but ts when I change volume on my integrated it changes volume level on my CDP which is also a pre amp. If I mute the amp i... | |
| Looking to get my first amp, speakers and turntabl Why don't you at least mention the state you live in. You may be surprised to find more than one dealer within a few hours with help from the Agon members. | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system Welcome to the forum. The Ayre AX7e is a great amp and I'm sure is a nice match for the Vandy's. I'm running the Hegel H200 with Harbeth C7's and a REL sub to great effect. I've never started over from scratch as you're doing. I guess if you could... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ry Cooder-JazzThe Clash-SandinistaDire Straits-Dire StraitsThen a whole bunch of other amazing music that will probably get me out of my chair like this Ry Cooder is doing right now. | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? I noticed some people going back 35 years but I'll stick to 20 years because it was the same as 35 year. 20 year ago I was only a couple of years out of college and I was struggling with a landscape business. I had a Technics receiver, tape deck a... | |
| IMO the two best tracks to demo or test any system Eddie Vedder 'Long Nights' off the Into the Wild sound track. Fiona Apple 'Shadow Boxer' off of her Tidal release. | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Kinghifi, You won't be sorry. The entire unit is stainless steel. Not one plastic part. It's built like like the company gets what we want. It's very expansive but from what I can tell, it will last forever. The reviews (if you read them) are full... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Kinghifi"I find with French Press, can never get the water hot enough and it cools off too fast. Is there a trick?"The trick is actually the Frieling press. All others pale in comparison. It's fully insulated, even the top. The coffee only has to ... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? How about some new music? What do you like? I can help you. | |

| How much heat from a tube amplifier? Get a solid state until your kids get older. Seriously, there's some great ones these days. I just ditched a Rogue Cronus Magnum which I loved, for a Hegel H200. I couldn't be happier. |
