| Initial Thoughts on Harbeth Super HL5 Plus I have the same speakers with an Accuphase E-600 integrated and I listen to similar artists. The experience is overwhelming. I love these speakers. They do everything right for me. I'm glad you enjoy yours as well. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one I'm not going to read through this entire thread but I hope you're still considering the Accuphase E-650. You can't compare it to the 470 so erase that experience from your mind. The Gryphon is good but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the differ... | |
| Classe or McIntosh Is Classe going out of businesssed Nobody should feel bad about Classe folding. they started digging their grave a very long time ago. A mini Kodak. | |
| Luxman L 590 ax I would try it. As long as you understand the limitations. I run a Accuphase E600 with Harbeth Super HL 5 Plus and a REL B3 and it's not going anywhere. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? I used to own some Hegel gear that I thought was ugly but it sounded very good. I sucked it up because I liked the sound. Then I had the misfortune of listening to a class A Accuphase amp and that was the end of the Hegel (and luckily not my marr... | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? It had nothing to do with choices I've made. Hey, I owned a Hegel that I thought was uglier than any piece of gear I've ever owned and I bought it new. I did however find I like the sound qualities of Accuphase much better and I do find the Accup... | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts Did you consider Accuphase? | |
| Accuphase DP-430 I haven't heard one but I'll probably end up with one within the next year to go with my E600. I'll let you know. | |
| How do i know There’s someone on here that goes by sidekick_i who owns a shop in Stockholm and carries some very well respected audio brands. I’m sure he or she would be able to help you out. | |
| integrated amp recommendations needed I'd love to hear one of those Yamaha integrated amps. The look beautiful and the Japanese are masters when it comes to integrated amps. | |
| Hegel vs Rogue I owned the Rogue Cronus Magnum and then the Hegel H200. I'll be honest, I liked the Rogue better but that's not comparing apples to apples. I found my dream integrated in an Accuphase class A. The Hegel was nice but I don't ever think about it. I... | |
| integrated amp recommendation needed Save more money. | |
| CD players = dead? Jim @ soundsrealaudio, thank you. That sounds more my speed. | |
| Stay away from the nad I owned a great NAD integrated I bought new in 1997. It did end up in the shop a couple of times. It sounded great when it worked. | |
| CD players = dead? I'm still a huge fan of CD's and CD players. I've been buying CD's for 30 years, they're cheap, a lot of them sound great and remasters continue to come out. The players also keep getting better. I like to listen to a handful of discs on a Friday ... |
