| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? Thanks Tony! I am about to up my vinyl game after getting back into it after a hiatus from the mid 80's. I made a nostalgia purchase a year and a half ago of a nice Denon DP62L with a Hana EH, and Vista Audio Phono2 preamp just to reintroduce m... | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? Hey Tony, I realize this thread is a few years old but I would love to hear a follow up on your XP-17, assuming you did end up getting one from Reno? I am thinking about a XP-17 or perhaps a Modwright PH 9.0X. Both are approx. the same price, o... | |
| Need amp suggestions for Hedlund Horns.... Ramoneo14,I am a little late to the party here and I am not familiar with your speakers but I will echo some of the previous praise for the Triode Labs/Finale amplifiers.I am lucky enough to be local to Triode Labs/Finale.Frank the head honcho th... | |
| Maggies with Tubes? Just an update to were I am now...I did take the plunge for the 1.7s and have been blown away by the sound, so much so that I ended up selling my remaining Klipsch speakers off, along with the Galaxy 300.A buddy lent me a MC162 (160 wpc into 4) an... | |
| Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp? Hey there Rayooo,Just wondering if you decided to stick with the ClassicSE or, keep the ET3...I noticed that your system link still shows the Classic? | |
| Maggies with Tubes? Hey Guys,Thanks for all the great responses so far, I am starting to learn a little about these flat speakers.Just to clarify, my Galaxy 300 has 4: 300Bs, 2 per channel operating in PP vs. SET.I agree, the best way to know for sure is to try said ... | |
| Good Horn Speakers Of Moderate Size Mcmprov,I beg to differ about the larger Klipsch being too large.For Klipschorns, yes you need a relatively larger room, but as far as footprint goes you do not lose very much room space as they go in the corners.Cost wise, what the H IIIs retails... | |
| OPPO BDP 83 as Redbook player? A couple of months ago I sold off my JM Peach II pre, Welborne DRD 45s, along with the Jolida and thought I could make due with the Denon AVR and cheapo Denon DVD player for both HT and 2 channel.This really isn't working for music so I have just ... | |
| Naim vs Audio Aero Well, the 5X, just got sold:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1209299629and the Prima is looking very good:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1209297645I am not really sure if this Prima is a current model, any i... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? I just heard from the seller and he has excepted an offer so it looks like I will be moving on.The search goes on. | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? Being what is basically a prototype power supply makes me wonder how much Dan improved upon it before he was satisfied enough to offer this as a production model.It's not like Dan never does any tweaking to get to where he is going.I think the ad ... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? Jam / PilotI have responded to this new ad:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1179248218It reads excactly like what I was hoping to come up with, a "Signature Edition".But after doing a little digging I discover (based on running ... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? Colopilot, you sound like a very happy customer.I am excited to hear what both you and Jamnperry have had to say.As far as you guys know, are the SWLP and SWL Signature exactly the same except for the phono section and the separate box for the pow... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? MrT,I think you are right in that the tube power supply does not transform the SWL into and older Conrad Johnson but from what I have read it should lean to "slightly" warmer sound with a little more weight and impact.The Mac does offer a lot more... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? From your description, I think the SWL with the tube supply is just what I am after, providing I get a simular result with my Bryston.Machman seems to have gotten that with his 3B.I just emailed the one and only SWL seller to get a little more inf... |
