| Wanting to uppgrade old NAD preamp/amp Even though you appear to work for the gov't, I'll try to help anyway. Just kidding. There has quite a few threads on integrateds lately, I'd suggest an Audio Refinement Complete, built under license by YBA. You'll find them used for around $700 U... | |
| tall front firing Sub for audio? I believe Hsu has an offering that would meet your needs | |
| Turntable or Cable Upgrade? You seem to have a pretty nice system put together but may be in need of a front-end upgrade. I've noticed there are many visitors to this site who own Oracle turntables, myself included. If you come across an Oracle Delphi MkIV or MKV you really ... | |
| What to upgrade first? I can't help but agree with the above posts, but, if you'd rather not wait you can still pick up decent gear that meets your budget. Since you're limited to what you can pick up right away, I'd suggest picking up good speaker stands ($100) and a p... | |
| Best Integrated amp under 1k Audio Refinement Complete. 50WPC with remote. Terrific, warm sounding solid state integrated. Built like a tank, remarkable value. I have an extra one for sale if you're interested. Jeff | |
| ARC LS 25 MK II vs. BAT VK30SE My BATVK30 is an awesome preamp, compared to my Audio Research SP14 I found an immediate and much improved soundstage and generally warmer and mellow character to any music. Highly recommended! Jeff | |
| Help Need CD player for about 2k to 3k I use a YBA CD Integrale with my BAT30, Classe 8, Quest Z's. Very warm, musical CDP. Highly recommended | |
| Systemdek IIX - is this a good buy? I bought the same table, in near perfect condition for $135. I had to put a new cartridge on it, bought a Grado Black for $40. This table is used in my office system at work, and I have to say it performs admirably, certainly better than most CDP'... | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? I slipped a 1" thick slab of granite under my Oracle Delphi IV, sure makes a HUGE difference. Jeff | |
| Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables? I'm thinking we won't need a stereo in heaven, we'll enjoy the jam. Moon on drums, Jimi on lead guitar, alternate Morrison and Janis on vocals. Hopefully Zappa will arrange the tunes. | |
| Best version of Aqualung on CD? A little trivia for you, Ian Anderson did not write Aqualung, his wife Jennie did. I saw Tull two years ago live in a small venue, unfortunately Ian had some sort of virus several years ago that effected his vocal cords; rendered his vocals almost... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5 ????? I fooled around at my local dealer with the original MMF-2. It's very much like the current NAD turntable. A flimsy piece of.. | |
| Need Turntable advise I'm with Doug, I love my Oracle tables (Delphi IV in my main rig, Alexandria in my home office system). The list above is pretty comprehensive; if you want to get a quality turntable at a reasonable price the list ought to also include Rega, Syste... | |
| Sub- 700 New/used Integrated Amps-Recos? Oh, there are low-cost outboard phono stages from Rotel, Creek, or NAD to meet your vinyl needs... | |
| Sub- 700 New/used Integrated Amps-Recos? Audio Refinement Complete. And no, not because I have one for sale but because I think it sounds damned good for the money and fits in your budget. |
