| Preamp or Amp? Lush;It makes sense that a Preamp will make more of an impact. They "manage" signals that are very small in magnitude and amplify them to drive amps. If something goes wrong at that low level of magnitude, once you amplify it, you'll also amplify ... | |
| DNA 500, MC 501s or JC-1$3-$5k on an ex-demo amp How big is your listening room? I agree with you, the Perreaux Radiance R200i is a great piece. I've had mine for a bit more than a year and I'm extremely happy with it, and I don't plan on letting it go for a long time. Just for reference, my sys... | |
| Replacement for Roksan Kandy Integrated The Perreaux R200i will be a bit more than $2500 if you buy it new. You can probably get a used/demo one around that price...Its an impressive unit by the way. Quiet, clean, powerfull, really good sounding.Also check out Perreaux's other big integ... | |
| Triangle Antal Speakers - How to drive? I own a pair of Polk LSi15 speakers and I think they are impressive...but then again, I'm biased. I think they are a steal at the price and many audiophiles wouldn't even go down to the store and listen to them for 5 minutes because they bear the ... | |
| IC/Speaker Recommendations for Sim Audio/Dynaudio Check out Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval cables(IC and Speaker). They are fast, detailed, they have great body, and bass, and most of all, they don't cost an arm and a leg, even though they perform as good as many others which are mighty expensiv... | |
| Audio Aero Prima DAC I think ruthlessly revealing, is the expression I was looking for when describing the Krell - Martin Logan combo... | |
| Audio Aero Prima DAC This is turning into an interesting thread. By the way Mattheus, great to hear you're having so much fun auditioning gear.You know?? For whatever reason Krell hasn't been my cup of tea, but I can't deny their attributes. Maybe is because every tim... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock I hear you. I suppose I'm lucky as I am not married yet. I do get some grief from my girlfriend about how weird I am buying cables and stuff like that. Anyway she doesn't give me a hard time about spending (probably cause we ain't married) but she... | |
| Audio Aero Prima DAC MattheusPlinius is also very good. I have a friend back in Puerto Rico that owns Plinius amp and preamp, from their newer line, and he wouldn't change a thing on his system. As for Perreaux, I had the E160i for a little while (on trial basis), bef... | |
| Audio Aero Prima DAC WarrenhI got a question...Have you heard the Perreaux Radiance R200i, or the Reference 200iP integrated amps??I have, as I have owned both(still own the R200i), also heard the YBA Passion, and I don't know where you get this "your prima deserves b... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock I hear you on budget... You know what's funny though?? I never thought I would be "foolish" enough to spend more than a hundred bucks on cable, and as of right now I own a pair of Analysis Plus Silver Ovals speaker cables and Analysis Plus Solo Cr... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock Good to hear man. I've listened to the VR-1s and I think they are very impressive...and what about their finish?? The craftmanship is great. I've seen them in the Dark Red Cherry and the Maple finishes(in person) and they are quite the lookers. I ... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock Did you get the Von Schweikerts, Studio 20s?? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock Should the little tweaks(replacing jumpers, removing grills, toe-in) not work out for you, at the $800 range, I'd suggest checking the Paradigm Studio 20 V3. If you could swing a little more, maybe check the Von Schweikert Audio VR1 ($1000), altho... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock Forgot to mention:Check out Von Schweikert Audio VR-1 monitor speakers. Very VERY impressive indeed.Also, I use a lot of the Buena Vista Social Club tracks to kind of calibrate my ears and my system...As well as Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"(isn't th... |
