| Best budget speakers for near-field/small space I'm running the A5's at work and to be honest - I cant get them to sound all that pleasing to me. I switched to the A2's to save space. How about a hybrid tubed integrated? (Jolida 1501RC) seems like it might be a good fit for the style of music y... | |
| Aerial 10T's - Temporary Solution Prepare yourself for the bass ... I believe the 10T's are one of the great "underrated" speakers especially for rock music. I had the pleasure of trying a pair out for a couple weeks ... I have to tell you they like plenty of clean power. I first ... | |
| Vinyl reissues quality Thanks for the post ... I was getting ready to give up. I picked up a vintage Denon DP 62L in mint shape, a brand new Grado Gold cart and a ARC PH3 SE. I bought 6-7 new albums and the sound is not good. Clicks, pops, noise - I was very dissapointe... | |
| Proac 1sc or 2D for this size room I am running the Response D Two's in a very similar sized room and they do very well. Strangely enough my brother lent me a pair of Proac 1S to see if I liked the "Proac" sound. I really thought those little speakers did well in my small room but ... | |
| Preamp predicament I have to agree with the rest ... I just read the Steroephile review on the NHT Super Zero. For their size, they do very well but they are so tiny it's hard to find anything to compete. They pretty much have to run with a sub and I have had pretty... | |
| Old fart needs help with speakers and power req's Yep, I have to say - now is when the fun begins. I still have a Pioneer stack (Spec) and a set of ADS 710's in the garage and I still love that setup for 70's/80's rock and roll. In my media room (converted bedroom) I have a much smaller system th... | |

| Preamp advice needed I would research going to a tubed front end. Possibly an ARC, Cary or Modwright tubed linstage ... at least take a listen. I was running a SS setup for a while with a Rotel amp and once I tried a tube linestage I found it very much to my liking. I... | |
| Good SS Power Amp. for Paradigms Studio 20 v5 I ran a set of 20 V3's with a Mark Levinson 23.5/Modwright SWL 9.0 and was quite pleased. I later upgraded to the Signature S2 v1's and was even more impressed. I had many, many positive comments when demoing this setup and selling the S2's genera... | |
| Advice re PC for Plinius amp I'm not sure if this applies to your amp but I have been reading up on Plinius amplifiers. I have read/heard really good things about both the company and their amplifiers and I am in the market for an upgrade. In my searching I came across someth... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... OK folks, I will see most of you on Saturday night at the Lucky Lab ... 6 PM. I'm buying the first round. Talked to Kurt from Echo Audio but he is busy this weekend but he hopes to join with us sometime in the future. I will also push to see if we... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Sounds like a party ... I have arranged to have the night off. In addition to meeting up, I figure we can all exchange email addresses when we get there. I cant seem to pull addresses from the response emails. Probably best as a lot of what I w... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Hello, That's a good call - looks like quite a few responses so I will band them all up and create a mailing list. The Lab has big tables and we can get some food as well as beer. Saturdays work for me and we have a little time to plan.What do you... | |
| Can anyone make my Modwright XA777ES play SACD? Rich,Just checked out your system .... sweet! Bet those Aerial 9's are incredible with that Cary stack. How about stepping up to a Cary SACD? I hear the 306 had a few issues but they have most of them worked out and the folks at Cary are very good... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Here is an idea :If I can get a few of you to post to see if this thread is still alive : Maybe we could meet up at a brew pub for a discussion on where to go from here? Seems like we have some interested folks but we need to get together on neutr... |
