| Accuphase Integrated Amp - E600 or E470 greginnh, I just read through this and noticed you ended up pulling the trigger on the E-600. Are you glad you did? | |
| Integrated Amplifier with the Good Bass and Extended Highs jafant, my dealer is www.analogshop.com which has been in business for decades and would set up an appointment with you or gladly speak with you on the phone. They're located in Victor NY which is a half an hour outside of Rochester NY. I could ne... | |
| Integrated Amplifier with the Good Bass and Extended Highs Sounds like you enjoy the Japanese amps. I got lucky on a demo Accuphase E-600. Maybe you can work your way up the chain slowly. I've been in the game for 30 years and even after that long period of time, I can't believe I spent 10 grand on an int... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? I vote for my Accuphase E-600. | |
| Tannoy Prestige made in China? Made in China means nothing. They're fully capable of making some of the best quality products in the world. I'm sure this MacBook Pro I'm typing on is made in China and it's very nice indeed. The quality of the output and QC level is on the desig... | |
| Warm-up time. I've never found the need or noticed any difference in playing music during warm up. I come home, turn it on and putz around and then start playing music awhile later. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question You might notice a difference. I moved from he C7ES-3 to the SHL5 Plus. I’ve heard the 30.1 on a few occasions and I really liked it a lot but not enough to pull the trigger but i also don’t listen near field like you do. If you didn’t listen nea... | |
| from Harbeth 30.1 to SHL5+, an upgrade or lateral move? I moved from the C7ES3 to the SHL5+ and it was certainly an upgrade. I will never buy a pair of 40/1 as long as I live because they're too large for my room. I'm also running a REL B3 and a class A Accuphase so things aren't too shabby around here... | |
| Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]? I think you should listen to the Harbeth's because you can. A LOT of people talk about Harbeth's who have never heard them...ever. I agree that they might not suit your taste at this point in time. As you get older there's a chance your music pref... | |
| Buy Smart Japan Never heard of it but if you're trying to find a deal on Japanese hi-fi gear, there's no such thing. The way to find a deal is to buy a demo unit or used. I bought a demo Accuphase which saved me an unbelievable amount of money. Buy from a reputib... | |
| Integrated amp under 2000.00 used The Ayre is a very nice integrated when paired with the right speakers.I owned the Hegel H200 and although it wasn't as nice a build quality as the Ayre, it sounds just as nice to my ears yet less powerful. | |
| Resale value of new speakers I can't answer your question but it is a serious one, so i hope people who can answer it do it thoughtfully. Good luck and I hope the speakers were your biggest loss. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I bought a brand new pair of SHL 5 Plus's this year and my purchase wasn't out of desperation or anything. I don't feel as though I got ripped off any more so than I would feel with any other speaker. One of my closest friends is the owner of a h... | |
| PMC Fact 3 with hegel h160 or accuphase 350 You wouldn't be asking this question had you heard the Accuphase. I would suggest making that happen. Hegel is nice gear but the Accuphase is in a totally different league. (I owned the H200 and now own Accuphase E600). | |
