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... 
Just How Good is the P.A.Nova?Nova Upgrade?
No Nova owners want to chime in? 
Good integrated match for B&W CDM 1 NT
Hi Tntate.I took a look at your receiver(online) & it got a couple of decent reviews.Also your source got a couple of rave reviews so it is likely your brightness problems are a due to poor cabling.I like solid core all copper cables,but don't... 
Good integrated match for B&W CDM 1 NT
Tntate,with $1000.00 to spend & your current speakers you can put together a VERY musically satisfying system.Forget about getting TOO fancy at this level(re:seperates or passive pre amps etc...).Get your self a decent 50-60wpc.integrated ampl... 
Dynaudio vs PMC???
Hi,you have the DB1i's?What do you drive them with?Room size?How would you compare the sonics between the PMC's & Dyn's?Thanks much... 
Need speaker for a small space and close to wall
Stick with something smaller so as too not overload the room with bass.Smaller Dynaudio's(Focus 110's or Excite 12's) can REALLY rock(or Rap)out when fed properly,sound great with ALL types of music & wouldn't overload a small room.While I hav... 
Quad 21L2 vs Dynaudio Focus 140's???
Actually it confirms what I discovered this past weekend.I happened across a small shop in downtown Seattle that had a TON of used gear,including a pair of 12L2's.While there was no Dynaudio's to compare side by side,I lived with Dyn's long enough... 
Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup.
Greetings fellow A'goners & Happy New Year to everyone!Aldres,with $3 K you can have a KILLER system...IMHO you would ABSOLUTELY love Dynaudio speakers...Trust me,listen to a WELL broken in pair,driven by either an ALL TUBE Integrated Amplifie...
