| Most compatable amp for ACI Sapphire III Anthem makes some very nice sounding tube gear for the money. Do a search for Anthem on Audiogon and read the reviews at the manufacturer's web site, www.sonicfrontiers.com. The Integrated 1 is in your price range, but is a little underpowered at ... | |
| New to Vinyl and need immediate help I would vote for starting with a Lehmann black cube, hook everything up and then decide on the tube gear. The Modulus can sound a bit bright; be aware that on the used market the 3A has been around for years with several upgrades. Rogue makes some... | |
| "Warm" CD player...on a budget. I bought a Cambridge Audio CD 500 for an old friend last Christmas. Also gave him an Anthem Pre1/Amp set-up with NOS tubes. We hooked that to a pair of Solililoquy 5.0 speakers. I hadn't heard the system until just now as he lives on the opposite ... | |
| I GIVE UP Another alternative is a BAT, classe or Pass solid state. | |
| Superior sound from newer CD players? The Cambridge Audio CD player is worth trying for the money. Needs a day or so break in. Worth trying from audio advisor, as I believe they have a guarantee. | |

| How does BAT VK-60 do in Low-end frequency? I'm using the vk-60's in monoblock configuration. Compared to the vk-500 which they replaced, there is definitely less bass and less solid "grasp" of the speakers. The midrange is what the vk-60's are all about. Also replace my vk5i with the vk5se... | |
| Best Integrated 50wpc under 600 used Cambridge Audio makes good stuff--better than NAD. A sleeper brand, but prices for their stuff are reasonable. Try www.spearitsound.com for more info (no association). | |
| Stereophile Class A The Rogue 88 (tubes) is excellent for the money. Can be purchased for under $1000. Can be updated later to Magnum series. Look at an Anthem Pre1L for about $400. Tubes and a great deal at the used price. If you want to keep the cost down look at C... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE A better upgrade would be going to a different amp-such as the Rogue 88. I replaced my amp 1 and it made a huge difference in the sound. The difference in cost with the 2se wouldn't make up for the dificiency in the amp1, a nice amp but not in the... | |
