| Looking for recommendations - vintage amp & preamp to go with Ohm Walsh 2's I upgraded my Walsh 2s to 2_100s3 ,6 years ago. Great upgrade. I have run mine very nicely with a upgraded McIntosh mc250 with an Acurus R11, modified McIntosh MA5100, and recently a new marantz pm8005. Also an ATI 1502. I would recommend a minimu... | |

| Please help ...integrated amp under $1200 I second checking out a Marantz 8005. I got one two years ago as backup to my Vintage McIntosh separates. I was curious to hear a modern integrated and auditioned Rogue, Marantz, Rega, Cambridge,NAD, Yamaha, others. I was very taken by the Marant... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound I had the same issue with the LS50. Instead, I got the KefR300. It is to my ears better than the LS on the bass end and a little less bright on the high. In piano black it looks great in my living room and my wife is good with the look. I thought ... | |
| An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers Might want to check out Rega Brio or the new Schiit Ragnarok. Both are reasonably priced and perform well enough to still be audiophile quality. Lots written on them online too. | |
| ATI amplifiers I have a 1502 which I like alot. I have had it for 6-7 years and it has been very reliable and a solid performer. I cycle it in and out of my rig along with a rebuilt Mac 250 and Marantz PM8500. I agree it is under-rated by audiophiles. | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? My 740c cd had issues about 6 months out of warranty. The tray was not operating correctly going in and out.

| SAE Technician Check the SAE group on yahoo. I belong and there is an extensive list of audio techs there with long term SAE experience. There are a couple who are former employees trained by James Bongiorno who I believe designed most of their gear. | |

| Marantz PM 8003 v Rotel or NAD sperates I think you would sacrifice sound quality. I have an 8500 and a variety of separates from McIntosh, Acurus,SAE,ATI,others. I bought the 8500 to try a modern integrated. I like it but its different than the other gear. Less warm and more sterile. B... |
