| Rotel RB-1080 - good/bad for Legacy Classics? i assume there is is a problem with the carver, otherwise its a very fine amp, and will drive the classics just fine. the rotel will also, but you may want to spend the money elsewhere. | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico i think the term 'revolutionary' is a poor choice of words. 'unique' or 'different' would have been more accurate, but doesn't sound as 'revolutionary'. | |
| Vinyl Frontend/Linn LP12 Question the linn is still a benchmark product. you might even look at the threns td160hd, or td350. i will tell you though, that moving up the vpi chain is an option too. the scoutmaster seems to have lots of happy campers, though moving to the linn will ... | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile i prefer to be a stereo-type....one who recognizes that the distribution and redistribution of stereo stuff is just that..nothing more. it can be fun, and it can be frustrating. i'm also a music collector, which has no connection to being a stereo... | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? high end cables are todays version of an equalizer, with the frustration of trial and error. | |
| Tube-Friendly Less Than or Equal to 2k i sound like a parrot, but the castle harlech(being sold out at under cost) from mayaudio.com is the steal of a lifetime. 1050....and it will hold its own with any 5k speaker i've ever heard. heirloom quality too. | |
| Integrated for Zu Presence all the amps named are nice...would say that a push/pull design(ear) would get the most out of the speakers | |
| Recommendation Weight on Top of Speaker the speakers are fine with nothing on top. the sonus faber cabinets are superb and solid | |
| Bryston 4B, tube amps and Klipsch Lascala's for under1k...classic dynaco | |
| getting back into vinyl the marantz(clearaudio)table should sound great. i would believe its the system....is it an sme20? no...but its not a world apart either. | |
| Klipsch La Scalas or Polk SRS 1.2's? 2 nice speaker pairs...for 'set it and forget it'...the polks | |
| Integrated for Zu Presence whats up? what happened to the wilson/bat stuff? this is a radical move.....the integrateds named are great. | |
| Amp for Sonus Faber speakers this sounds like a defective amp....will it sound different (yea)....but should it sound bad(no) | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs foster...the manufacturers poer cord may just be the balanced one. its funny how consumers think that no matter how good a product is, the cord thats made for it, must be a toss off. | |
| Perseus Preamp yes...in this order for neutral(balanced) sound..modwright, rogue, juicy |
