| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? Reading through this thread really brought back memories for me. Comments about how Wilson's, in this case the Sasha, require careful placement/tube amps/just the right cables/room treatment, etc., in order to sound good. These are identical to wh... | |
| What tube pre amp match up with a solid state amp My ML 433 and ARC LS27 are a great match. A used LS 27 should just fit within the top end of your price range. | |
| Phono Preamp Gain Question You have a fairly low output cartridge and your line stage isn't on the higher end of gain options. While there is the variable of amp sensitivity and speaker efficiency, Salectric's speakers being very efficient so he needs less gain, I think wit... | |
| balanced preamp When I went to balanced connections with my ML 433 I was quite happy with the result. If a company goes to the trouble and expense of a fully balanced option, like your ML 336, it is likely to be the best option. But, just because a unit has XLR c... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k I concur with Dracule 1, if they really wanted to be fair an Anniversary SE, with the upgrade available to the original owners, would be the way to go. Doing what they've done will depreciate the Anniverary which is hard to quantify as fair.While ... | |
| $5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp There is a used LS 27 listed right now for $4700. According to ARC it surpases the performance of the Ref 3. Particularly if your system is balanced, the LS 27 represents a strong contender in your price range. While this may not be a concern to y... | |
| Wilson Sasha Your room may be better suited to the Sophia 3, but given your need I can see why you're looking at the Sasha. Personally,I would have the room analyzed and acoustically treated before I considered new speakers. Your equipment is very nice, the la... | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? Harri009, if one could get a speaker for close to $5000(used) that fit your requirements I think we'd all be looking to own them!Seriously, what Josh358 suggets is probably the best choice for your needs. | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? While this thread is interesting, I think Hughp3 has left the premises. I noticed on another thread he purchased an ARC Ref 5 and solved his problem. Other than the WAF! | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? I agree with Pojuojuo and Audiooracle. I was using the Denon AVP for two channel. Like the Krell, it has a bypass which allows a pure analog signal to pass through. While it was pretty good, I decided to try a line stage that had an HT bypass. I h... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 or Puppy 5.1 The Sophia. First, it's a better match with your amp. Second, the 5.1's are getting fairly old. The material they used as face padding starts to crumble with time. You don't want to know what they want to replace it! Unless that has been replaced ... | |
| Amp power for Revel Studio2 My Studio 2's are driven by a ML 433. My room is 17x21x10. So you'll be using your Revel's in a room quite similar to mine in terms of cubic feet.These speakers like power, an amp that doubles it's output when going from 8 to 4 ohms, doubling it a... | |
| Basis 2500, 2800 or Debut - which would you use? Chayro, thats the whole point. With the Graham even a novice can mount and optimize the arm/cartridge as well as an expert. | |
| Basis 2500, 2800 or Debut - which would you use? The Phantom verses Vector raises a point I'd like to make. There are many variables in optimizing the performance of your arm/cartridge. While the Vector can certainly be set up for optimal performance, I went with the Phantom Supreme because, in ... | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality My experience is this. If your system is fully balanced from source to speaker terminal, as is mine, you'll probably get better sound using balanced interconnects. I tried some inexpensive XLR interconnects on a lark, just to hear what balanced mi... |
