| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? You mentioned class D amps. I have Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE monoblock amps. They put out 175 watts per channel and have great sound. Even better is the new company that is a spin off of Nuforce--Nuprime. They make an outstanding amp that is an 8... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I had an analog rig exclusively until 1994 when I finally bought an inexpensive Nad 502 which sounded better than the 3 previous more expensive cd players I'd brought home to demo and then promptly returned.Records just sounded much better. I had... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket If you don't care about the size, there is a pair of Vapor Audio Nimbus Black speakers on A'gon that are being sold for $8000. They have a 15" woofer that is clean, dynamic and can play loud. Talk about jump factor. The speaker also features 2 ... | |
| Best divorce album? They're Coming to Take Me away, Ha Ha Hee Hee Ho Ho.Sorry, that was just one weak single. True after the lawyers get through with you however. | |
| CAN SOMEONE HELP If you can swing $2995, the Nuprime MCH-K38 amp is bridgeable to stereo with 400 watts/channel and sounds better than most anything out there that would have really high prices. Get the Nuprime preamp/dac combo to go with it and you will be in he... | |
| What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$ Sunnyjim, I have owned Harmonic Technology 9+ Pro cables that I didn't particularly care for--I missed the transparency and upper end clarity of my previous Speltz Anticables. After several tries at upseeding the Speltz with other good for th... | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Bill, Roughly, what would be the cost of all the upgrades you mentioned if I were so inclined? | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Thank you, Brownsfan. I'm going to try your last point and see. I should be able to do the same thing with the DUDE. I'm sure there would be an extra benefit overall by using a Pulse Gen in both the DUDE and the MW Sony. | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Thanks Bill. How's your back been? I've had back problems since I was 38 (64 now).It sounds like #2 on your list would be the most improvement in sound--BUT, I'm guessing the most expensive one. I do have the Dueland caps in my DUDE which also... | |

I've had a pair and currently own an awesome pair of RM40s. These are floorstanding speakers with a slim profile. You can adjust he speakers to fit most... | |
| Audio withdrawal I have the Ref 9 V3 SE monos. Look at Nuprime. Several of Nuforce's key minds went to form this company. I'd bet they can and will fix your amp if the current place can't. Good luck either way. | |
| Your Go to CD to Impress Dionne Farris--Blackbird Got to be one of the finest sounding cuts that is also musically awesome.The rest of the album is OK--that's all. | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player No one's mentioned it yet, but if you've ever heard any of the models Modwright has modded, they will basically sound at whole different level to anything remotely close to its price. You can get a used one for under $1000 sometimes although a fr... | |
| Advice on a preamp If you can find one used, a TRL DUDE tube preamp will give you powerful, defined bass with the rest of the range beautiful with great clarity and a large, deep soundstage and tremendous dynamics everywhere. The unit is large as in 75 lbs. but the... | |
