| Which integrated amp would you pick? David Belles has a great reputation, and of course he has been in business for a long time. I was going to look in to the Aria myself, but I may opt for the Heed Obelisk over the Belles. As much as I hate to say it, there is just so little press o... | |
| Elac B5 and B6??? Just another flash in the pan speaker?? or worth it jayctoy- We can't let you off that easy (-: I'm close to purchasing the Wharf 10.2 for a small 2nd system. Integrated if my plan comes together, will be a Heed Obelisk. So the 10.1/10.2's are more musical than the Elac. I will take that as a bit ... | |
| What in the world is going on..... I've got a couple of early press Simon LP's. One Trick Pony, and I believe S/T. The latter has Me and Julio....by the Schoolyard. These are really great sounding records, particularly OTP. I believe BOTH are Sterling Sound mastered. First of all, ... | |
| Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one? I have the Classic and Pink Rim early pressing. Will have to check Discogs for specifics on the latter. I haven't compared, but would be quite surprised of the Classic is as good. But in fairness, I will have to do the comparison. | |
| Elac B5 and B6??? Just another flash in the pan speaker?? or worth it I wouldn't discount the Wharfedale 10.1/10.2 series as a contender. I've yet to hear them, but someone who I trust says their quite good. I would think personal taste would be the deciding factor in the $200-$400 price range. That, and partnering... | |
| "Good tube Integrated Amps" What speaker???????? | |
| Enchancing video, adding audio in the bedroom. tls49- Very straightforward, as I had hoped. Thank you very much. A 2-channel Integrated is really the direction I wanted to go. I would think this gives an edge strictly for 2-channel audio. Then on video, better video resolution, better sound wi... | |
| Enchancing video, adding audio in the bedroom. tls49- Thank You.1) I will confirm, but I am 90% sure my Plasma has an HDMI input. 2) I use a Time Warner cable box, which does have an HDMI output.3) I use my Panasonic Blu-Ray player to Stream Netflix. So if the Oppo doesn’t have that capability... | |
| Enchancing video, adding audio in the bedroom. Thanks tls49- I would love to do this without getting in to a big, heavy A/V receiver. If I follow your recommendation above, would I also be able to watch TV/Movies with audio through the Wharfedales? I also stream Netflix, and watch Blu-Rays. | |
| Enchancing video, adding audio in the bedroom. Music Direct suggested a Marantz A/V receiver. I believe SR7009 is the model. It's a $2,000 unit, marked down to $900. I wonder how it would compare sonically with a comparably priced 2-channel unit. I have also looked at the HEED Elixir Integrate... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Shindo D'Yquem amps (Vosnee-Romanee pre)... A23 Solovox, or their current Homage 755 or Homage Ken. I have heard great things about DC Audio as well. | |
| Tavish Phono Stages AD liked it a lot. I think it was the last issue of S-Phile, if not the one before. | |
| Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it? I also tend to reach for The Yes Album, and I only have Fragile and The Yes Album. I used to listen to Yes a lot more, wore out their cassette tapes in the 80's…. I have turned in to a more casual fan.I definitely prefer Jon Anderson over the lea... | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? +1 on all marktomaras said. I will also ad, do shop your local LP shops, or whatever good ones you can find. I have found many early pressings of my favorite music, and have been well rewarded with great sound. Cheers, and enjoy the hunt. | |
