| whats it worth? the fisher ss studio standard gear was budget equipment(not hi fi)even in the day....your stuff is not worth much...sorry | |
| Best SS preamp for FetValve amp? generally the valves in a preamp are trouble free. i would however email van alstine for advice and alternatives...... | |
| Bad idea? Budget int. tube amp with Maggie 1.6's? this isnt what you want to hear, but high powered ss is the way to go for maggies.....seek out mccormick, cj, forte, or bryston. a nice used amp and pre would be reasonibly priced and allow you to get the magic from your maggies. | |
| Belles or van alstine i haven't heard the omegastar series, the van alstine's fet hybrids are very balanced sounding, similar to the legendary sonographe by cj. the belles is a good balanced amp as well, perhaps a little more clinical....i stress 'a little'. both men a... | |
| Replacement for Aragon 4004MKII i would pair your pre with a cj solid state.....not quite as lush as their tube amp, but a a more neutral and powerful unit. their will be synergy with your cd player also. | |
| Starting Over--Amp First the cj motif would be the 'one' with the biggest upside, but rotel and nad still are more than good for the money. if the cj is in fine condition though, its a true high end amp in any system. | |
| Best Integrated for the Money the mac integrateds have the juice and the flexibility to drive the 10t's in any room. very neutral ss, and they will let the aerial get the bass response they are capible of. | |
| CDs:Otis,Etta, Aretha....Stax/Volt comps.... all the current reissues are pretty good....but remember....these were never audiophile recordings, so crank them up and enjoy. | |
| Slow upgrade from integrated - pre or power first? i don't see a huge sonic benefit from either change unless you just need more power. in that case get the amp | |
| best amp / amps to drive totem mani-2's any big/quality ss amp.....separates like bryston, cj or arc ss would rule | |
| Any info on Design Acoustics? evolved into signet......very good balanced speakers for bookshelves. better than many small current monitors | |
| Amps for Thiel CS 2.2 don't ditch the jbl4425's for thiels | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment scout scoutmaster super scoutmaster etc......tops the ford probe....what were they thinking? | |
| Whither Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? hddvd has warner and uni lined up. only a matter of time for blue ray to fade into sacd land. | |
| Accuphase C-200 "COMP" button - What does it do? for use at lower volumes |
