| Solid-State PREAMP - Thoughts on Threshold / Krell / Bryston I agree! - that seems so be a HELLUVA’ good dealLocal HiFi dealer carries Bryston. AWESOME stuff, but their new stuff is beyond my "Audio Fun" budget.That used unit is just a tad beyond my current funding situation (but I’m WORKING on that, got a ... | |
| Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment In my opinion:The Consumer-Grade Electronics have always had their "better" stuff AND their "cheap JUNK". And some brands tended to build a more solid unit than others (Vintage Pioneer, Marantz, and Harman-Kardon's better offerings) in Solid-Stat... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC Also - Anybody know what the C568 is running for a PROCESSOR "under the hood". It's one thing to have good A-->D & D-->A Converters, but if the thing is going to run Dirac / apply EQ Curves and Timing Algorithms generated externally by ... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC @rockaddict19 - Let us know how it works out / what your initial impressions are.The only other thing that makes me a tad leery of the C658 is that it does ALL of the pre-amp / source selection functions in the DIGITAL domain. I TRY to not be an "... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC The C658 has appeared on my radar as well.I have a "classic" NAD 7025PE Receiver that is presently serving as my Pre-Amp. In the past, I was impressed with "the little receiver that COULD...." But now, I am seeking something to move the audible ... | |

| Any Love For Bryston Here? Maybe it has to do with Bryston being on the Lower-End price-wise of the Upper echelon of Solid-State performance.If I came into a large sum of money - I would probably purchase a full set of Bryston Components TOMORROW. I have heard, seen, and to... | |
| PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model I know that everybody says "Brick & Mortar Stores are Dead / Yesterday’s way of shopping" However - when it comes to spending several thousand dollars (or, at least a grand and a half and UP), call me crazy, but I WANT to touch, feel, and in t... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO Drkingfish -I do not argue with your point that their service went "Above and Beyond". THAT is something that I would classify a REALLY COOL and refreshing in today’s world.What I MEANT was that this service came from the CURRENT ITERATION of the ... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO Also - the title of this thread should be clarified as "Latest-Gen Bob Carver Vacuum Tube Amps" (in order to avoid ambiguity with "legacy" Carver products) | |
| AMP or Preamp I have not heard a set of Wilsons like you have before - but I’ve heard from associates on other forums that the’re awfully nice / revealing.It sounds like you already have some pretty decent sources, and the Power Amp that you have could be bette... | |
| Please Help Me!! Part of what I think is pretty funny is also at least PARTIALLY grounded in reality.When I joked-around about "Monkey Wards" - back in the 1970's, their "Audio Department" (shelf) was stocked with cheapo clock-radios, boom boxes, and shelf systems... | |
| Please Help Me!! touche! rodman....Let’s just agree that I started poking-around on here and was surprised at what people are asking for anything that seems to be halfway decent / charging for some often very old and esoteric stuff.I’m working my way up to it - bu... | |
| Please Help Me!! Sorry - But unless you plan to spend at least 5 to 10 thou per component - most here on A-gon will not be able to help you [let’s see, an integrated = (1X Pre + 1X Power +1X EQ +1X Tuner) X 5 thou each = you should be spending at least $20thou]Als... |
