| Is it worth buying a headphone amp? O/P,I suggest you research your choice of headphones carefully.Everything I have read on the AKG lineup points to them being on the brighter side of neutral.If you were to think in terms of nature, AKG's are characterized as being a clear,snow cov... | |
| Is it worth buying a headphone amp? I just upgraded from a Maverick Audio D1 DAC/Headphone amp driving Sennheiser HD 545's to a Peachtree Audio MusicBox driving Sennheiser HD 598's.My headphone usage has gone from must use so as to not disturb anyone during the wee hours of the mour... | |
| No love. Why? Years ago I bought a pair of Studio 40's(ver.2 I believe)that had received glowing reviews from all the usual suspects.When I hooked them up they were WAY to bright & would never calm down.I called Paradigm & spoke with the tech dept.&... | |
| Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts? I had a chance to hear the 1.5's at a Magnolia store in Dallas a month or so back.Set up was horrible & they were spread out about 15'.Driven by a BIG Marantz Surround Receiver I was mighty impressed.The sound stage was wide,deep & tall.To... | |
| Speaker recommendation please, please, please O/P.Depth & dimension are referred to as "imaging & sound staging". The only speakers that I have ever heard personally that truly disappeared were Sonus Faber & Dynaudio HOWEVER both were driven by TUBE Integrated Amplifiers!IMHO you ... | |

| In-ear Headphone Advice Requested I've owned a pair of Sleek Audio SA1's for several years & REALLY like the way they sound.They have a natural tone that allows hour after hour of listening pleasure & are not very expensive.What I like most about them though is that I mang... | |
| Bookshelf speaker ideas.... There's a pair of Black Ash,Monitor Audio Silver RS 1's for sale here right now that are REALLY good speakers.Not quite up to the Dynaudio level but then they don't cost near as much & their much easier to drive!FWiW I have owned Dynaudio Focu... | |
| Would you help me complete a system? OP,I owned Dynaudio Focus 140's & drove them with a Cayin A-55T(40 wpc.Tube Integrated Amp).The sound was absolutely sublime so my suggestion is to get as many tubes in your system as possible.There is a gently used Unison Research Unico P Int... | |
| Where to start upgrade Frenchie nailed it.Spend the majority of your budget on the best speakers you can afford.The Elite has plenty of power & pretty decent sound.Once you have a great pair of speakers,a good Integrated Amp would be next... | |
| Mini Amplifiers Larryi,The Synthesis "Shine"is EXACTLY what I was looking for,now if I can just find one.Thanks much. | |
| Speaker pairings with Pass INT-30A PMC "TB2i"or "DB1i".EASY to drive,excellent Bass from small/med. size cabs & reputation for fantastic sound reproduction.What's not to like? | |
| Good integrated match for B&W CDM 1 NT Hi again.My position on cables comes down more to stranded vs.solid core.I truly believe I can hear a difference between the 2 types,especially in the midrange & highs,which seem warmer & more natural(to MY ears).However I have experimente... | |
