| almost great lps.....70s=80s Glass Harp's 1970 debut album on Decca recorded at Electric Lady Studios. Some of the greatest electric guitar solos ever recorded. Just saw them in a reunion concert....Phil Keaggy's still the greatest. | |
| Which DAC for $5K or less? The Yamamoto YDA-01 is a great DAC and not just for it's bargain price of $2450. Read the rave review on www.6moons.com. | |
| What is this ARM? looks a little like the Magnepan Unitrac. | |
| What would you do??? I own the Marantz and i've previously owned a Pass x250. I'd go with the ARC LS17-Marantz combo. A good preamp will usually sound better than a cd player with a volume control(digital volume?)plus you can try SACD. | |
| 845 integrateds I also am a very happy Art Audio Carissa owner. It is not an integrated amp though. It is an amp with a passive volume control that will only play one source. I have mine hooked up to a Marantz SA 11 si sacd/cd player. You can see the system on Au... | |
| Personal amp evolution I started off with a NAD 2200 in 1988. Then the madness started. Mcintosh 2002, Counterpoint SA 12 which began my on and off flirtation with tubes. Then a Classe DR 10, Sonic Frontiers 80, Krell KSA 50s, Cary 300i, Krell 300i, Audio Research CA 50... | |
| VPI Aries owners I use a Bright Star 19 sandbox.It's made for the Aires and has a cutout for the sama.It's the best! | |
| I need a phono preamp and I'm leaning toward Krell Buy the KPE.I owned it and believe you can't do any better for under 4k.It's dead quiet,very adjustable to any cartridge and very dynamic. | |
| best 50 watt tube amplifier? I just purchased a Cary Rocket 88 tube amp.50 watts ultralinear and 30 watts triode thats switchable on the fly.Sounds great.Also,it looks really cool with exposed tubes and dual green cats' eye tuning lights.All for $2500.See caryaudio.com for ph... | |
| What are your thoughts of the Tower design of amps I like it in the mono blocs,but not for stereo.I have a stereo Cary Rocket 88 tube amp with the two green tuning eyes.I never get tired of looking at it,especially in the dark.....beautiful. | |
| Personal experience with Cary gear and... I have the Cary 808 & 303/200 with Audio Physic Spark 3's in a much smaller room(14x15).It sounds great with the Cary gear.For your room i'd suggest the Audio Physic Virgos.They like tubes and are even more efficent than the Sparks. | |
| Audio Physic Virgo- What Power do you use? I have a close friend who has a pair of Virgo 2's.He uses a Cary 30 integrated amp.The Cary is a 30 watt class a biased tube integrated amp that is no longer made.It drives the Virgo to ear splitting levels in a 12x18 room.He also uses an Audio In... | |
| What to expect: Revel Performa M20 from Mag. 1.6QR I owned the 1.6's and had the same feelings about them as you did.My room(15x16 too square)was the culprit in getting the kind of sound you described in my case.I traded them to a friend and they sound great in his room(12x18).I replaced the Maggi... | |
| Personal amp evolution From 1987-)NAD2200,Mcintosh2002,Counterpoint sa12,Classe DR10,Sonic Frontiers 80,Krell 50s,Cary 300sei,Bryston 4bst,Cary Rocket 88(ahhhhhh),I'm so ashamed! | |
| What speakers for a 10 x10 room? I was recently at a dealer who had one small room about the size of yours.He was using Soliloquy 2a3 mini monitors on and off with a Soliloquy sub.The amps were Cary 2a3 monoblocks(5 watts set) or a Cary rocket 88(20 watts triode).Boys and girls,I... |
