| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) @adn_abdat,The Hint 6 and E-560 will sound fairly similar - both very neutral but I imagine the Accuphase is a little warmer, which would be my choice with your speakers. It will hold its value well and is more of an heirloom piece as it has highe... | |
| Military grade Tinned copper strands. Whoopty doo. Some specs have silver-plated copper - the older version of such was notorious for corrosion. I love how manufacturers resort to using these terms to sell gear. "Military" or "aerospace-grade" doesn’t mean jack ... | |
| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) Yamaha A-S2100. Has the best performing built-in phono stage I’ve encountered - better than that of the Halo Integrated by a considerable margin. I haven’t heard it’s built-in headphone amp but by most accounts, it’s stellar. Meters are icing on t... | |
| ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1 For $4500 a pair in 96', I would certainly hope the ProAcs are better. | |
| Best speakers for $300/pr There are many popular speakers I can think of that retail for $400, but for $300(new), the Elac Debut 2.0s are probably best. | |
| replace HT receiver with newer H/T 4K receiver I would post this question over at AVForums where you're far more likely to get good responses. Mostly a 2-channel community here. | |

| Parasound ZPre3 and ZPhono or NAD C 165BEE for Active Speakers? Stick with the Parasound gear. | |
| KT88 for deep bass ? Just get some new production Tung-Sols. The preamp tubes have a bigger impact on the overall sound. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? pulp and paper cones are outstanding - beautifully damped, stiff and light weight. They must not be driven in to breakup - so the operating bandwidth is less than more rigid cones.Hmm... I think you’ve got that backwards. It’s extremely rigid/meta... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Mr._Mom,You said I "undermined" your opinion as though I’m not entitled to my own, as though I should’ve consulted you first. So who is the one not respecting opinions? I had made no personal reference to you or your opinion in my original post. I... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Most in this hobby are over 50. There’s your answer. | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @mr_m Really? I undermined your opinion? My opinion is based on real experience with all three Rogue integrateds. Yours is based on a biased manufacturer's assertion.The CMII is the far better amp. They don't even belong in the same conversation. ... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @mr_m,I also spoke to the guys at Rogue before purchasing a Pharaoh. My local dealer suggested the Cronus is the better amp and he was certainly correct. In my system, it was better in every regard: resolution, instrument separation, imaging, bass... | |
