| The best room upgrade: $2250 @tweak1 now all you need is to add impact windows and you will get an insurance reduction along with further noise reduction. You won’t even hear the hurricane outside, | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... You should consider the Spatial line of speakers. They look very modern and fit in to the aesthetics of most room furnishings. Don't require massive power and sound great. Also, I think they still have an in-home trial period and a 5yr warranty. | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I have decided to upgrade my digital end going forward and not invest any more resources into vinyl. I love vinyl and the ritual of listening to it but realize that over the past few years my listening habits are skewed to 95% digital streaming. ... | |
| buget used amp ? I've been using a NAD 2100 with my Adcom GP555 ii preamp to power my Theil CS1 speakers for over 30 years with no problems. I think you can find one for around $200. The more power the better though. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Since @1111art seems to have an appreciation of 70's prog, I will suggest: Nektar- A Tab In The OceanNot sure if that is obscure or not these days. If you reside in a state where pot is legal, it will help. | |
| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k @larshepping, I sympathize with you. I just went down the same rabbit hole with my system. I have Spatial M3 triode masters apx 95 db efficiency as well (16ohm). I was considering Don Sachs new Kootenay integrated tube amp but he is backlogged fo... | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices Thanks @supabayes. That is very helpful. Good to know that the F7, XA25, and the LM219IA may not pair as well as i hoped and that the Kinki, though good is cold. | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices Thanks @atmasphere your article will be my Christmas weekend relaxation reading.Thanks @kettle7830 for the additional choices to consider. Thanks @doneaton for your experience powering the Spatials. | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices Thanks @aldoallen and @jjss49 for the owner experience advice. The guy i got my M3s from was using an LTA Zotl 10 which he highly recommended and did sound fantastic. Unfortunately, I do not have the budget for it or @atmasphere s equipment. I'l... | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices Thanks @atmasphere , @jackd and @jjss49 for steering me strait. I can definitely tell that my old NAD 2100 is not up to the task of adequately driving the Spatials it works great until i start increasing the volume over 90 db and just doesnt seem... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed How about Spatial M3 Sapphires open baffle as an alternate speaker to consider? Check out New Record Day review to get an idea of whether these may be what you are looking for. 60 day return policy if you decide they do not work for you. Plus 92 d... | |
| Are there any bookshelf speakers that sound good on a bookshelf? I recently auditioned a pair of Audionote speakers purposely placed on bookcase shelves to demonstrate how well they worked and I must say they sounded fantastic. The room was aprx 16x25x8. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? It was Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced". I was 9 years old then and listened to it on a console stereo my parents had. I think my parents were very worried for my well being after they heard it at the time. | |
| Need advice on upgrade path Soix thanks for the tip. will check them out. I have heard that the Belles Aria integrated is a great match for my system but i still think i want to try seperates instead. Any opinion on Conrad Johnson PV 10a with phono vs the Linear Tube vs Au... | |
| Need advice on upgrade path Yes the cat survived. The tech said "there was liquid in the bottom, do you have a cat?",they had not seen such a thoroughly burned and melted amp in many years. I will add Rogue and Modwright to the list. Has anyone had a chance to compare any... |
