| How can I use a turntable with a Krell Integrated? Ditto the above, would add that there are a few turntables with a built in phono pre-amp. They aren't usually in the league of stand alone units, but may serve as a start. Happy hunting. | |
| Best integrated for BW802? McIntosh MA 6600 integrated amp, with perhaps the HD radio tuner option. Two hundred very musical watts, nice features including MM phono and headphones, and great build. It will make your speakers sing, and bring a smile to your face. | |
| Suggestion? Usher Be-718 & Pass Labs INT-150 Excellent gear to start with, from your room description, more than new cables, have you addressed room treatments? That may make a bigger difference then new cables for your stated concerns. | |
| Review: Mystere ia21 Tube amp Thanks for your review of some very interesting and much desired units. I too have a liking of integrated amps. I could not but wonder how a Mac SS would have fared. Perhaps giving the magic of tubes with the bold drive of solid state. That is wha... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Have to add my two cents. The McIntosh MA6600. Sound is awesome, great and useable features. Built well and classic good looks. A nust audition at any price. | |
| A/B speaker switching - advantage? Ditto above, great for easy listening in the home, for parties etc. Being able to cut one off and the other on makes for a happier home at times in my house. | |
| Granny says heah. Mofimadness, susgestion, very funny. | |
| Fix or buy new/used? After 25 plus years, treat yourself to something new, or nearly new. The old stuff is indeed either a problem waiting to happen or just not worth the hassle fixing. When it comes to HT, think music first and ease of operation, hard to go wrong. | |
| What is the best way to add a 5:1 system Much of the above is right on the money. Using your processor in/outs and a surround sound reciever with pre outs should get you where you want too be down the road. At any rate, mostly wanted to add my congrats on your getting your new Mac gear. ... | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp Acurus Act 3, great sounding in two channel or surround. Simple to use and has been bullet proof in my system. | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Recently purchased a Mac int amp at dealer for 20 percent off list. The sale person said it was Mac trying to aid their dealers. Makers of hi end may be well above the fray, but dealers I believe are having it a bit tougher. | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? The McIntosh MA6600, magic. In the tube realm, and not alot of money, the SQ-88 by way of Quest for Sound. | |
| Audio only processor - without video? The Bryston series like the SP 1.7, outstanding peformance. Oldee but goodie the Acurus ACT 3, however does not have all the very latest audio formats. All you may really need, and sounds great, and priced great on used market. IMO getting audio r... | |
| addition of 2nd pair of speakers Bryston unit does not provide protection for speaker or amp. It is only a switching device. I mis-spoke in my earlier post on the protection segment. Thanks to rantes7 for bringing it to my attention, he having checked with audioadvisor. My checki... | |
| Bi amping my Vonschwikert VR4jrs No you don't need "perfectly matched amps", but you do have to be able to control the gain within reason on at least one of the amps, whereby then you can match the gain being delieved too both. Leading to a balanced presentation into your very ve... |
