| Eggleston Andra to Andra II Upgrade? I owned Andras orginal version some years back, great speaker, lots of detail, energy and high POO ratio.I upgraded my current Avalon Eclipse Classic with new tweeter drivers and improved a lot. This should be the case with the II upgrade for the ... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE After spending many time and resources looking for the speaker of my life, I finnaly ended up with Avalon speakers. Happens to be that I had for quite a few years their entry model (Avatar) and lived happy, until the &^(*&^( distributor ap... | |
| Best Intergrated Amp. Under 1k with "PRAT" hhmmm, I have had Naim amps, don't think it will drive the Maggies (Nait3), I would go for a used Naim separates (180, 140, xps, previous versions) and maybe update in the long run.Fernando | |
| What makes one good amp sound better than another? Please consider system matching, room acoustics and personal prefernces. Not because you will drop some cash for a nice Krell amp (I have had them as well) will instantaniously bring substantial differences in your setup.Yes, better power supplies... | |
| Power Conditioner for Amps. Agreed with many on this post, best results for me were obtained going directly thru the AC outlet (properly polarized/earth - insoleted, mains direct).I remember burnin a Power Wedge AC unit plugging my Gryphon amp to it.. too much to handle!!!Fe... | |
| New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series Hi folks: I own a X250 and has been one of the best speakers I have had, the list is quite large to bore you here. I don't feel the need to move to the .5 series, and more into finding theright preamp for my X250. The best I have OWNED is a First ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Jim - I saw some days back a review of the Ginko stands. Those are new items AFAIK and not heard them personnaly, but looks like a promising design and sensible priced.Fernando | |
| Which Pre-amp is better suited for VTL TT-25 ? I have had two VTL amps( 60/60 deluxe and triode30), got great results with VTL preamps in the chain, and it is an easy sell if you decide to change both units somewhere in the future.Fernando | |
| Speakers For Rock I liked the sound of rock with my former B&W N805, but will second the idea of some vintage JBL up there.Fernando | |
| What are your favorite monitors? I have had some monitors at home, I recall with great pleasure the B&W DM12 and N805, as well as a pair of Mission 731i (yes, the small ones - now out of production) but there must be a replacing model you can gather about.Fernando | |
| JBL L250Ti vs. L300 Summit Never heard the L250s, but have had the L300, L65 Jubile and L100 Century, some questions:1.- Is your listening area a large one?, if answer is no, maybe a pair of L65 or L100 will do.2.- L300 sound great with proper amplification, otherwise they ... | |
| Mani-2 Sig. Vs. Wind Mani-2 have a quite decent bass reproduction, I have tried more than one time to add a sub and it is always a give-and-take game. At the end I preferred not to include a sub in order to gain transparency in the midrange due to blending problems.Fe... | |
| Pass labs Aleph 3, upgrade to X150 Agreed on others comments regarding listening preferences, both are great amps (I own a Pass250 but with a different speaker design aproach). I do think that the Aleph will give you a little more rounded-full bodied sound, the X series are more dy... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Two amps come to my mind (fortunatly enough I currently own one of them)Gryphon Anthileon Pass X250Fernando | |
| Downsizing-Need Integrated Amp Advice I've been there (downsizing)m and found great listening pleasure with a Naim Nait3 integrated (now there is the Nait5 out there). Naim sounds great with Spendor or Monitor Audio Speakers.Another option is to go for a passive preamp (AXIOM, Monlith... |
