| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @b_limo When you get the damage issues resolved with FedEx I think you will really enjoy the M1. I am using an M1+ in one system and a Supratek Chardonnay and an EX-M7 in another. Both are great amps with similar sound. Both of my units came la... | |
| Thinking of investing in either Yamaha AS300 or Luxman l509X. Agree Luxman especially if resale is important. | |
| Modwright KWI200 vs Kinki Studio EX-M1+ @arafiq I own an M1, M1+ and the M7 stereo amp and over the last 2 years have used them with speakers from Verity, Nola, Spatial, Reynaud, Fritz, Odyssey, Wharfedale and Harbeth. I have not found your friend's characterization to be true with any... | |
| Modwright KWI200 vs Kinki Studio EX-M1+ I am a big fan of Dan's gear and in the past have owned several pieces but in this case I would chose the EX-M1+. I have owned one for almost a year and think it is a great amp. Owned an earlier EX-M1 also. | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable Audio Sensibility out of Toronto and Audio Envy in Fort Collins, Co. Both internet direct. Also Wireworld Equinox. | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) Another vote for Odyssey but also call Frank at Van Alstine and ask him about the SET 400 and the LRS. The SET 400 works great in general with Maggies but it seems the LRS is a different animal. | |
| Need music streamer with wifi and no DAC All Auralic streaming products are wireless and the Aries devices have no DAC. | |
| Amp for Vandersteen 5A Carbons Your only going to be driving the top half of the speaker with you amp so you should be fine. You will be high passing at 100hz. | |
| piano works (concerto/jazz) speakers ATC/Proac/JMR/Vienna Acoustic/B&W The JMR Bliss Jubilee fits the bill though they are a bit over your $2k budget unless you find them used. Call Bob Neill at Amherst Audio and talk to him about Reynaud. | |
| Within a 30 day trial with Van Alstine SET 400; seeking comparisons DaveYou know what my thoughts on the SET 400 are and I actually have owned one for well over a year and used it with a least a half dozen different speakers and two different tube preamps. In your price range your only real alternative would be a... | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable Yes Parts Connexion is the source for the Dueland cables. He also has good prices on connectors if you prefer to use them. I've made two sets and haven't found the break-in time to be that bad. | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable Agree on the Dueland. The 12 gauge dual would cost about $200 per side with connectors optional as they recommend bare ends. | |
| Musical Paradise MP-D2 MK3 DAC I’ve owned an MP-D2 for over four years, the original and now a Mk III Deluxe. They are great DAC’s for the money and allow for limitless experimentation with caps and tubes. Don’s praise for this DAC is justified. I own one of his preamps too. Lo... | |
| Can anyone tell me about VERITY AUDIO PARSIFAL The earlier models of the Parsifal were two complete units and the bass unit could be turned with the drivers to the front or back. The current Anniversary like my Othello’s are rear firing only. The rear firing woofers just require different thin... |
