| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" Jerry,I didn't say it but I thought the Opal was the best of the bunch prior to the M-5. It improved the dynamics in my system. What I lost, in my system, in terms of transparency and overall musicality, ultimately were not worth the gains I got i... | |
| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" Mike, my pleasure. I really have no answers, only observations. Your point about system synergy and personal preference is a good one. I always try to preface comments with "in my experience" or "in the context of my system". I tend to rule out PP... | |
| Sony 777 as a transport? Look into an Audio Note CDT-2 | |
| Best efficient speaker for the money. A used pair of AudioNote AN/J or AN/E speakers would do well in this application. Check them out and talk to some others who own this vey underrated (IMO) speaker. | |
| Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ? Have owned both...still own the AA Mk II.... Liked both... Liked the AA MK II better when running either direct or through a pre. | |
| Where are you at on the curve?... A long way from where I started and in a whole different place than I thought I would be....but loving it. | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A Many of the Audio Note speakers would do the trick. I would suggest you contact Joe from JC Audio and get his advice.These speakers are based on the old Snell design and have between 93db and 95db sensitivity with an easy amp load. They will work ... | |
| Potential problem with sale. If there was/is nothing wrong with the unit and no discussion or representation was made regarding compatibility, this is the buyers problem. You could offer to help them re-sell by iquiring with others who were interested when you sold originally... | |
| What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you? I own some Proklaim II's that are fabulous speakers but must admit they have a face (finish) that only an audiophile could love. Sort of a gray granite look and shaped like an outdoor rock speaker. But they do play music!! | |
| What's your favorite speaker finish? My Audio Notes Makore finish in piano gloss is very fine | |
| transport/dac combo beats any one-box player... I've owned the 47labs flatfish/progression dac combo the audio logic 2400 the dodson II paired with a CEC tl1x and the Burmester 979/980 combo (as well as many one box cdps). I think they are all excellent.However, I am smitten with the Audio Note... | |
| Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco I would highly recommend both the analog room (they don't carry Sonus Faber but do carry proac and others...you can find Sonus Faber at Bay Area audio) as well as Saint Celia's. Saint Celia's carries Alon and I believe JM Reynaud and perhaps 3M. S... | |
| Worth it to buy cheap, but no audition integrated Audio refinement complete integrated and cdp would be a terrific combo in your range. | |
| Anyone compared the Rega Jupiter and Cary 306/200? Just to show that everyone can have a different opinion. I have owned the 47 labs digital gear, electrocompanient EMC 1, Burmester 979/980, Audio Aero Capitole, Accuphase 75v, Audio Note CDT-2 with Dac 3, CEC tl1x with audio logic 2400 dac and a f... | |
| Solid state amps under 1000 Here's one you don't hear much about but it is a little wonder. The Job stereo. They can be found used for around $750. I would imagine them to be a great match with the Spica. They are a brushed silver and tiny (think cigar box) very industrial d... |
