| SS Pre-amps that can beat an Audio Research sp16 10-29-13: MapmanWhen I mention bandwidth, what I am really looking for is better low end extension. Sp 16 has very clean and articulate bass but not as extended as even my old Carver pre-amp, though the sp16 whoops it in most every other way.I hav... | |
| SS Pre-amps that can beat an Audio Research sp16 Personally, I don't think I could ever go back to a SS preamp, I know, I've tried. Probably the best I ever heard was a Threshold T2, which I liked better than others I had owned from the usual suspects (Krell, ML, JRDG, Ayre, Classe, etc.). Howev... | |
| How would you feel 10-27-13: James63What brand? I could use a $9000 amp for $3700. LSA, look at Bpinder's other threads. | |
| How would you feel I would feel slightly perturbed. Not much you can do though, the world-wide economy is crumbling.BTW, your other thread DID get posted. | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? Bose, Polk, Sony, Marantz, Denon, Onkyo, Rotel, etc. When you think non-audiophile, think mass market. | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? All other parameters being equal, I would lean toward the fullness side. This is another way of asking detail (resolution) or musicality (fullness). I have gone in both directions, but I find that when I go towards musicality my listening sessions... | |

| Dynavector XV-1s vrs Transfiguration Proteus I have heard the Dynavector XV-1s and the Transfiguration Orpheus (now discontinued), and both are very fine cartridges. I agree with Ptmconsulting that the Transfiguration was more musical sounding, I would even say more natural sounding. I think... | |
| RE: Percussion Album – Any Good Ones? Yim Hok-Man's "Poem of Chinese Drums" from my Burmester Vorfuhrungs (Demonstration) CD III always chases my dog out of the room. LOL!! | |

| NAD M2 "Protection ,right channel short" Well you say that you like to turn up the volume, and the song is very dynamic. Combine those facts with the fact that you are driving inefficient (83dB) Electrostatic speakers, and I would guess that this new NAD amp just doesn't have enough juic... | |
| Kaplan GS vs. Kubala Sosna Emtiions Speaker Cables Well Joseph, we're waiting......how are they??? | |
| Adcom GFP-565 pre-amp They seem to be selling for between $200 and $350 on Ebay, depending on condition. Just check the completed listings tab on Ebay. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D A couple of questions, first of all, are we comparing apples with apples? That means are you comparing solid state integrated amps with the two tube integrated amps that you are using? Separates could make a difference in what you are hearing. I h... |
