| Audio Fantasies good question. My imaginary hifi rack is full of imaginary equipment. One reason I read this forum is to see that people do own those beautiful looking and sounding stuff from my imaginary collection. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @stuartk yes I played with speaker positions. Now that I don't have an amp, all positions sound the same to my ear though :) But I totally understand, and I am not frustrated. I will make the best with what I have. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @stuartk very sensible and wise feedback, thank you. I don’t have to have a ~$1000 integrated. It would be a nice to have. All the things I must have, I do so I am taking baby steps. I will look up if there is an audio club around me. I think mo... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @stuartk absolutely TMR charges for shipping and 5% restocking fee. It adds up to around $100 on a $1000 gear. Which is ok but when my budget is $800 it is a cut. There are about 5 companies that do accept returns and charge very little, mainly... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear If something has performed for 40+ years, and still is, it must be pretty good in an number of ways. I hate to see garages and backrooms of stores floor to ceiling full of this stuff knowing it's unused and will probably stay that way. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated thanks @bluorion ! I will reach out to them. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @bluorion I have heard great things about Belles, I never had success contacting them. Is it a hobby company that doesn't like to sell? ::) @ml8764ag You are right. I am looking onto Vincent Audio used and demos, they are under a $1000! | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @stanleylocke the logistics part of it is iffy: If I buy something used from someone, that will be it. If it’s not working out, I will be stuck with it or I can resell it at a significant loss - 2-400 dollars, practically a third of my budget, whi... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @stanleylocke Thanks! NAD is still on my list. So is Cambridge Audio. @g2the2nd I can’t get onboard with the look. Must be good value though @tkrtrb125 yes Simaudio is winning. Virtually (and virtually only, I can’t buy it if I don’t have a retu... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @freediver maybe it was the specific item/something off, they sounded flat, lifeless, boring. I had big expectations, I wasn't biased. Could just be synergy too. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated little update, I tried the Rogue Sphynx and an older Creek. Rogue was not a good match in my system. Creek was OK but not too exciting. I am exploring my options to try used Sims and a Billie but I may not be able to return them so my purchase w... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @stanleylocke I missed it, what was it? | |
| Integrated Amps @bgross the new price is way out of my budget. But I would definitely go to Andover to listen to them, maybe they will have a used one. | |
| Integrated Amps @bipod72 of course you do! I am just here for the hifi roadkill | |
| Audiophiles in the Wild - They're on to us... pretty flawless script! (when I click on user systems like yours is when I want to take my miserable equipment to Goodwill ) |
