| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... I love JVC XRCDs and will definitely check this one out. Thanks! | |
| Subwoofer Amp Recommendations I'm using one channel of an older 250wpc Bryston 4B to drive my 12" NHT subwoofer and it's much better than the NHT SA-3 amp/crossover made for it.If your amp is like the Carver Pro PM700/1200 which use XLR and 1/4" TRS input jacks for PA and guit... | |
| Furutech e-TP80 AC Line Conditioner Hi Peter, I've been wondering about this guy myself.Remember Viggen [Ed], the guy you sold your Aleph 3 to? He's been using the Furutech E-TP60 in conjunction with an Audio Magic Stealth recently. You might want to ask him.LAter! | |
| Suggestions for someone who wants to get in tubes Definitely agree with the recommendations for matching a tube preamp with an SS amp as an entry into the world of tubes. That's why the contenders in my current three preamp shoot out only have tubes. | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k I'm very satisfied with a BAT VK200 matched to my tube amp, but it is around $500 over your budget. An amp I wouldn't mind having no matter the budget is the McCormack DNA1. You should be able to snag one for well under $1000. Good luck! | |
| speaker comparison Hi Sean, actually my experience with the Vienna Acoustics Haydns was limited to a four day in-home audition. The only speaker I was able to directly compare them to were a pair of NHT SuperOnes. I purchased the Concertinos a year later.I did remem... | |
| Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler Thanks man! | |
| speaker comparison Mbacinello,This is quite amusing. I own ProAc Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures and am considering Totems!Jrd351's comments on piano weight with the Totems definitely has me interested. I'll need to somehow procure a pair for listening in m... | |
| Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler Thanks so much for the speaker recommendations outside of what I was initially considering. I'll definitely look into these options as well. Thanks! | |
| Proac 2.5 or 3.8? Interesting question. I use ProAc Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures in a 12x14x8 room. I think 2.5s might be too big for this room because of all the stuff I have in it.At the last CES Vegas show the ProAc/ARC room had a pair of the large D... | |
| Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle I think Devon may be on to something with his suggestion of going with a used Galatea instead of the BC21.1.The BC21.1 is a replacement of the BC21 which I own. The main differences are the use of two 6922 tubes instead of the two 6SN7s in the BC2... | |
| Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler My one experience with Totem speakers was at the last CES in Vegas, and I was impressed as well. I believe I was listening to Staafs or Hawks which were being played at fairly moderate levels and they sounded very well balanced. The electronics wa... | |
| Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler Hey guys, thanks for the opinions and recommendations. I'm looking into Totems, Castles and JM Reynauds. I appreciate the help! | |
| Proac 1.5 cabinet repair help Check out this ad for a pair of D15s. The seller states the same happened to them in shipping and he had to have them repaired. You might ask him how and where he was able to get them fixed.http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?spkrfull&107250... | |
| subwoofer passive vs. active I've been using an NHT SW3 passive sub for many years. Initially, it was powered by the companion SA3 amp with built in crossover, but the last year and a half I've had much better results using one channel of a Bryston 4B amp with a Paradigm X30 ... |
