| Preamp w Phono and Headphone Jack The Audible Illusions 3A with phono for moving magnet cartridges is about $900-$1200 used. If you get the John Curl moving coil phono section 3A, it will run you about $1400-$1600 used. This is a very good preamp and it took me going up to the T... | |
| Audioquest vs Analysis Plus? to ilike, To get in touch with Phillip for Amadi cables is:nineseventhreeeightfivefivesixtwotwothree | |
| Audioquest vs Analysis Plus? The Amadi Maddie Signature silver cables give very deep bass with much clarity. I believe Phil still charges $600 for an 8 ft. pair. He will make a 14" set of matching jumpers for about $125. These replaced MG Audio Planus III cables in my syst... | |
| Consideration of amp change There is a almost new Modwright KWI-200 integrated at 200 watts /per channel that would have the sound you're looking for at just over $3000. I have had 3 Modwright cd/sacd players and loved them all. Dan at MW stands behind his products incredi... | |
| Suggest affordable cable options Either Darwin or Amadi silver wires. Both companies' wires are extremely clear, but without bite or etch. You can get the Amadi top of the line Maddie Signature for $600 for the speakers and they are awesome. Their top ICs sell for $220. They h... | |
| up to $2,500 to spend............ I'm sorry, the newer players will go anywhere from $1600-$2400 used. It depends on the mods and the seller. | |
| up to $2,500 to spend............ If you don't mind used equipment, keep your eyes open for a Modwright Sony 5400, 9100, or 9000, or a Modwright Oppo 105. The 5400 is the newest mod (9000 is the oldest). I have a 5400, and have had the other two prior. Any of them will float yo... | |

| Second audio system in your house? Good one Mapman. I have my idea of the super system without losing my mind--read that as a low to middle cost car cost wise. The other is our home theater system in the family room with AV receiver and all small Paradigm speakers and an Oppo blu... | |
| I need advice on which speaker If you like transparent sound with excellent imaging, dynamic sound at all frequencies, defined bass down to 24 hz., with the all important midrange to die for. They have 40 inches of ribbon drivers for the mids and highs, plus two 10" woofers (1... | |
| Back to it - Practical speaker upgrade If you can find a used pair of VMPS 626R speakers ($1200 or less depending on the upgrades), you'd be impressed. The guy I sold a pair to about 4 years ago loves them. He had to buy them after hearing them at my house--just made me an offer on t... | |
| Please recommend preamp The Audible Illusions 3A is priced used at about $1000-1200. It has a very good phono stage in addition to all the inputs you desire. It is a tube preamp with excellent definition. I used an Audible Illusions 2D for 20 years with no troubles. ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I'll second the Amadi Maddie Signature silver wires and Darwin Silver, the Darwin Ascension or Ascension Plus silver wires. They are considerably better sounding than the Morrow Ma-3,4 or 5, the Crimson cable, DNM, Speltz, and some Audioquest (do... | |
| Review: Amadi Maddie Signature Interconnect I replaced my MG Audio Planus III copper speaker cables with the Amadi Maddie Signature and liked the sound even more plus the Amadis are much easier to live with--not fragile. | |
| Morrow Audio Digital cables , Anone try these Haven't tried Morrow digital but have owned the 3, 4, and 5 MA-series ICs. They sound nice and open. I now have all Darwin silver, ascension, or ascension plus, or Amadi Maddie Signature silver cables. The Darwins and Amadis are much better soundi... |
