| Should I buy a phono-pre or Creek phono board? @Roxy54I agree that Ebm response is not clear. I cannot tell if she/he is saying, "hey, you are cheaping out and not thinking about sound quality," or "don't overthink this whole thing, just get it because it inexpensive and going to be just fine ... | |
| Should I buy a phono-pre or Creek phono board? Thanks everyone!I think that I should buy the Creek plugin. It has decent specs and I can pop it in for $200. I'm sure it's decent if not great for the money. I agree: why can't they pop these in for the $2k of the amp? I suppose this is the moder... | |
| Anyone compare Tidal and Spotify Premium Sound? Thanks! I ordered one from Audio Advisor. | |
| Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions? I've used Spotify Premium for months. I sometimes stream it to my Creek 5350se and Totem Arros via a Gramofon. I think the Gramofon has a decent/fair DAC. Spotify Premium streams at 320kbps. I tried Tidal's premium hifi feature today. I ended up c... | |
| Anyone compare Tidal and Spotify Premium Sound? Oops! Sorry. | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier It was Naim separates--preamplfier and amp. Pretty pricey..somewhere north of $5/7k for both, maybe more. Very nice stuff. Something I missed with the Naim stuff that I get from my Creek. I received my Alps switch from Creek today. $150 and I'm go... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier Timrhu,I would certainly consider selling you the Creek. It's in 8/10 condition. I can send you the information on the Alps switch that I bought from Creek. It should be here in Chicago (shipping from London) this week. It needs the switch install... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier I think there is some confusion. I only demoed Naim equipment last week. I haven't had the chance to demo the Rogue Sphinx and Exposure. NAD is really not on my list, but I'd be willing to give it a listen. | |
| creek 5350 se integrate amp repair in chicago? Did you get it repaired? If so, by whom and to what result? Thanks! | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier In case anyone is interested. I demoed Naim equipment over the weekend with Totem Forest Signatures in Chicago. Just great. I also heard back from Creek. They can locate a replacement Alps switch for 89 pounds plus shipping. They indicate the swit... | |

| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier Wow! Great stuff. I'm going to look at the used Bryston, Creek Destiny, McIntosh 6500, Sim products, BUT I don't even know where to begin in trying to fix the Creek. Just today both channels dropped out, and back in, and out. I wish I bought it un... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier It's frustrating. And, strangely, I'm still open to buying another Creek. But it's unacceptable. I have an old Denon integrated (early 90s) that still works. I really love the Creek but am a little shy in buying another. I know Creek and Music Hal... | |
| Anyone have experience with Vincent Audio - SV-236 Thank you for your response. I'd like to pick one of these up. | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea Perhaps I should just stick with one system, moving the Totem Arros out and just spend $4k or so on a nice loudspeaker set? The recommendations thus far have been great. Thank you. I am off to research the Ohm make. I do like Sonus Faber floorstan... |
