| High End Integrated Choices There are a huge number of high end integrateds. You seem to only be interested in tubes but I listed solid state too. This list is not a "short" list to investigate; you can read up in the forums and Google to go to the websites: VAC, Musical Fid... | |
| High power integrated suggestions please. The sound of that 200 watt Consonance Calaf integrated may be great and probably is, but that has to be the most butt-ugly integrated I've ever seen! | |
| "Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there?????? What caused your itch to be scratched in less than one day? | |
| "Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there?????? "are there any really awesome integrated amps out there" ? There are more manufacturers making integrateds in the high end that compete with seperates than ever. Older Krell seperates definitely have some competition. While I have not heard many o... | |
| Tubeguys:How much "tube sound" from tube players? Thanks everyone for your experience and views: John: when you say "I feel you can get a whole lot of the tube magic in the front end." I assume you mean it's possible to get some of the tube magic from a player? | |
| Integrated amp: VAC, DK ref, Ayon Sunrise or Karan Not familiar with Ayon or Sunrise (Chinese perhaps?) but I am familiar with DK and I know of the reputation that VAC gear has. I honestly have never seen anything negative written about any VAC integrated (from the press or consumers) and that's r... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? At $22K the MBL's should be a "work of art" and do everything well too! That's a very expensive speaker. The fact that you say the MBL's don't do subteranean bass is crazy to me. A speaker at that pricepoint should not lack thunderous low end. | |
| Billy Preston Dies Agreed. Reading about that was like hearing a friend from the old days had passed away. | |
| what speaker cable betters my audioquest slate? Acoustic Zen Satori: for the money value= excellent and their top to bottom performance is excellent too. Used prices here are very reasonable. If you go 8 feet, you of course have a much better choice in the Agon classifieds. | |
| Where can I find the Elfix polarity tester? Thanks guys; Audioadvisor has not carried this for a long time; I have the Van Den Hul and am not impressed with it. | |
| As Varied as the Audiophiles Themselves... I've read some of your posts in the past with interest. I remember that you constructed your own listening room in the basement which is very commendable. You're right about wishing you had held on to some of that old equipment. I feel the same. I... | |
| Is there an audiophile or hi quality cheater plug? Thanks Jea48 already read both. | |
| Is there an audiophile or hi quality cheater plug? Thanks Aroc. I tested the polarity at my AC outlets. It's correct. Another aphile recommended re-terminating thepower cord. I'm not a diy guy. I'm thinking about the VansEvers reversilble 2 prong with ground wire. Any knowledge of these? | |
| Full-range Floorstanders: Can you recommend? Hiend2: Thanks for your thoughtful and constructive assistance in your wonderful and helpful suggestion... Budget $3-4k used | |
| Full-range Floorstanders: Can you recommend? Everyone, so far, thanks. No VMPS 40's in the Gon classifieds now- I had already looked for those and am intereseted. Veritas 2.4i are for pick up only; Daedulus DA-1 appear to be awesome (I remember Barrelchief mentioning them in an email last ye... |
