| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) I would buy used Accuphase E- 530 on ebay from Japan for about $3500, get acupwr.com transformer and be happy for a while. Accuphase E- 650 is step up, of course not to mention Accuphase E- 800. Coda is an interesting suggestion, I would say. L... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value " weakest link " is a great general answer. In my case, I would say adding PS Audio power regenerator was the single biggest improvement. Before it I was using inexpensive Furman power conditioner. Next, going from Redgum integrated to Burson se... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? Ear and system dependent definitely. The difference in the same system can vary wildly, the steps up can be very significant. Besides, there are usually quite a number of cables and power cords in many systems, and if you do it the right way the i... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance What else is new ? | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks I think I saw ZX-9 on Reverb for about $5k. It will take at least $1k cables and Maxell Vertex tapes, currently about $250 a piece, to sound its best. Anyone wants this ? | |
| Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system? You know, I just got $450 Audioengine HD4 powered speakers to mostly play VHS tapes in a smaller room. My main system is in another room. So I experimented with all interconnects that I have in the house connecting Panasonic pro SVHS deck and thos... | |
| Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl Yes, Al Di Meola - Cielo e Terra - and , say, -Casino-. | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark However, completely avoiding Chinese parts in audiophile equipment is very very difficult. Accuphase, Gryphon, Nottingham come to mind. Maybe Lamm, D'Agostino and Boulder, I don't know. But if we insist and are prepared to pay more things will c... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Quality is one thing but China is not exactly a friendly country, remember ? Companies are like prostitutes, this doesn't mean we should be that too. Especially if we can avoid it. | |
| Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl John Williams if recorded well. | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark You bought Danish speakers and received Chinese speakers. Yes, they are Chinese speakers. It doesn't matter where they were designed. I would return them right away. | |
| Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl John McLaughlin with Shakti - A Handful of Beauty-. Composition "India" is best. Buy original Japanese, don't buy original US though White Label Promo sounds better than regular. | |
| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? bigtex22, I am not familiar with your equipment and can't know if the amp is enough for the speakers. But I didn't mean just power ratings, it is much more than that. If you go subwoofer route to begin with just make sure you can return the subs ... | |
| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? First step would be to upgrade power amp. Then the rest of the audio chain. Adding subs is a complicated matter and a final step, if needed. | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? Which one would you choose ? Not the best speakers, and digital source. Start at 1:20. As for Luxman, it cannot compete with Accuphase, ask any Japanese audiophile. Yeah, D'Agostino Momentum is better than any mentioned above by everyone. SS, I... |
