| Any gemme tanto v2 owners out there? With the Tanto 1 which I had owned, I had much better results with a high power ss integrated than with tubes especially with the bass response. With the tube integrated, bass was ordinary for a large floorstanding 2-way but with a 150w/ch ss amp ... | |
| mostly Audio Research now i need digital help? ? ? if you want DVD and CD there have been some relative bargains in Meridian transports which will do both here on AudiogoN ... there was a Classe model I looked at as well which plays bothif cd only is your interest the AR transport would be perfect | |
| no synergy Pass Labs has a couple of integrateds in their line-up ... I assume they can be ordered with phono or phono added but I do not know for sure. Since you HAD synergy with Pass, that would be the direction I would lean | |
| Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures I would try a Music Reference RM10 mk I or II as the amp ... if one is not enough (@ 35w per ch), a second can be purchsed in the future. This is a GREAT amp with Vandy speakers. Used the Mk II is @ $900; I picked up a MK I on ebay a number of yea... | |
| speakers close to the back wall ? Audio Note speakers work well near walls and corners ... also transmission line Jordan jx92 based speakers from Carolina Audio, Konus Audio and AudioWood among others would work well also | |
| Is my room too small If I recall correctly, this room and your seating position should work with the "AudioPhysic" set-up method ... hence Audio Physic speakers would probably be a good choice. Virgos are great sounding speakers, and the Mk I are a bargain these days | |
| Will it work? Copland preamp and Moon I-5 Int Amp same here ... never heard a Copland pre BUT the I5 I did own and I found it very competent as an integrated amp or preamp (never used it as a power amp) ... my opinion is if it is imaging you are after, a speaker change will get you closer than a ... | |
| Speakers suggestions for my setup and room please look at the Emerald Physics CS3 ... comes with a "room eq" to tailor its response in your home and your room at 18' sre is NOT ideal ... the CS3 is the latest and can be driven by a single amp. very efficient so it should be a good match with the ... | |
| I2S Cable while I doubt they will have anything stock for this application I would guess they would be able to custom make something for you:http://www.revelationaudiolabs.com/cables-digital/index.htmthey DO have replacement i2S for Audio Alchemy geargood l... | |
| Will it work? Copland preamp and Moon I-5 Int Amp well ... the Arro or Model 1 woud easily out-image the Hawks at some loss in bass response ... I also remember hearing at one time that Sim used the Totem Tabu as the speaker during the voicing of the I-5. Tabu should have similar bass to the Hawk... | |
| Newbie to DAC's The Peachtree Nova could be an option ... this would replace the Pioneer | |
| Will it work? Copland preamp and Moon I-5 Int Amp well it SHOULD work but I think I would sell the I-5 and get a SimAudio power amp or a Copland power amp to use with the Copland pre. Not sure that an integrated amp used as a power amp only is the best scenario.also, IMHO speakers are more respon... | |
| Newbie to DAC's to play music from your hard drives you will have to connect your laptop to a DAC you will need a DAC with USB input OR a USB/SPDIF converter to send the data to the DACif your Marantz is an older model with a digital output, it will most likely b... | |
| What did you own in the 60's? with the numbers that "rolled over" with an audible click each minute change ... I was born in 1966 so my high fi obsession did not start til much later | |
| SS integrated with a good DAC Tact M2150 if you do not use analog sources would be perfect ... there was one here recently. I am a former owner having moved to the very similar Lyngdorf TDAi 2200 with full room correction |
