| Cary SLP-98 vs Rogue 99.... and tube rolling? I own the 99Magnum and like it. I haven't compared it to many others but it sounds fairly neutral with excellent bottom end. It doesn't have excessive bloom but has a very clear, liquid sound. For the used prices they are going for these days(arou... | |
| Hi-Fi in Bay Area? I just found out there is also a Music Lovers Audio in San Francisco. The address is 2295 Bush St. | |
| Hi-Fi in Bay Area? Check out AudioVisions at 1603 Pine St. It's near the corner of Pine & Van Ness. I think it's the best shop in San Francisco. If you have a car, check out Music Lovers Audio in Berkeley. It's at 1995 El Dorado Avenue. There are some good shops... | |
| Question about bi-wired speakers The speakers in question are the Silverline 17's. | |
| Muse Model Nine Signature vs. Model Ten Mitch, thanks for your response. I recently bought the Nine Sig V4 and like it. I was just curious if there was a noticeable difference between the two on redbook. Did you find any ic's which worked particularly well with the Muse? I'm going from ... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. Jean-Marie Reynaud Twins or Dynaudio Audience 40/42-50/52's. The Dynaudios will need a bit more power to sound better. My friend owns the Twins and they sound great. Both can be found used in your price range. Good luck. | |
| Dynaudio 1.3SE v. Silverline SR17 I should clarify my situation. I own the 1.3SE's. I can get the Silverline for $800 less than what I could get by selling the Dynaudios. I think even the older SR17 models used Dynaudio drivers but I'm not sure if they are the equal of the drivers... | |
| Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE Erik, I had thought of going to a more powerful amp but wasn't sure if that would solve the problem. I may have to give it a try. I know the Dynaudios love power/current. | |
| Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE Perkadin, I'm using a McIntosh MC162 amp with a Rogue 99Magnum preamp and a Cary 303/100 cd player. I have read that Sim and Plinius are good matches for Dynaudios. | |
| Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE Goatwuss, yes, I've stuffed the ports but it seems to take some life out of the speakers. I used to own the Dynaudio 72's and while I liked them, they are not in the same league as the 1.3SE's nor should they be given the price difference. Maybe I... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... I have heard that you have to send the Prima to the factory to replace the output tubes. Is this correct? If so, it seems to be a bit of a hassle. | |
| Think I'm going to try tubes... You might want to try a tubed preamp with a solid state amp with the Dynaudio's. That way you can get a taste of tubes and still be able to drive the Dynaudios. | |
| Are Dual turntables any good? Rwwear, how is the CS-5000. I have a chance to get one for $275. Is that a decent deal? It would be replacing a B&O RX turntable. Would this be a major improvement? Thanks. | |
| McIntosh MC162 vs. MC7270 Unfortunately, I have no way of trying it out on my system before I buy. I appreciate the responses. | |
| When someone sells a Arcam cd92,what next? I moved up to a Cary 303/100. I like it much better. |
