| Advice on room placement of Paradigm 100 v3 ?? I just tried these out at the local dealer. When I had the speakers firing directly at me, the focus was good. It was only when I decreased the toe-in that I lost that focus and high frequency air.I know your post was back in September but, I hope... | |
| Budget amps that can hold their own. ATI's are a great way to have great sound without great outlay. | |
| decent beginner amplifier rec's I can say ATI without reservation. I have had 30 high end, expensive amps and this $650 ATI has nothing to apologize for. These guys were the ones who founded SAE, one of the hallmark brands from the '70s. They do all of their own work right in th... | |
| Amp for Maggies 3.6R I have been through quite a few amps with the Maggies and settled on a 200 wpc, GAS Ampzilla II at the end of the day. I picked it up off ebay for $700. | |
| Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm" Save yourself some money and time. Life is good with a Consonance Reference SACD 2.0. I was going to have my SCD-1 tricked out the rest of the way by Modwright when I looked at the cost. I sold the Sony, bought a Consonance (it has a tube output) ... | |
| Harmonic Technology Pro 11+:any opinions? I have great results with the cable. Just call a dealer and have some different products lined up to try. | |
| Maggie 1.6 - Best Amp? Thinking about tubes. I am using an Eastern Electric Mini Max tube pre amp going into a 25 year old GAS Ampzilla II that feeds my 3.6's.I have been through thirty amps in the past 15 years and that does include the VTL MB250's. The Ampzilla comes so close to the VTL's.... | |
| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? If you are going to hang onto it for quite sometime I would mod the Sony. Yes, new chipsets have come out since but, with the upgrades you can extend the "life" of the Sony. I would use both Kern and ModWright as they both have some mods the other... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? My Great American Sound Thaedra and Ampzilla II. They are vintage 1977. | |
| Which of these preamps should I get? Eastern Electric MiniMax! | |
| tube vs ss for pre-amp. The Eastern Electric MiniMax tube pre for about a grand. Galen Carol Audio, gcaudio.com, can even let you try it before you buy it. A giant killer of a unit. | |
| Why so many Sony Scd-1 for sale? Phild-The Sony project manager even admitted that they couldn't take this to the level they thought it could go as far as the electronics. The build quality and the transport section are the remarkable things of this unit. Just saw the Luxman-oooooh! | |
| Why so many Sony Scd-1 for sale? I thought mine were rather unspectacular, at first. I owned two; sent the first one down the road. I came back. I still have the second one. I went back to it because I did hear the smoothness and promise of what was possible. So, I had it partial... | |
| Graaf Power Amp Info Needed This is a beautiful amp. I wish I had kept mine. Better looking than the '100. | |
| Hovland HP100 hum? Good choice with the VTL. I had mine with MB250's.I only had hum when I had the blue illumination going. When I switched the lamps off it was gone. Alex Crespi, of Hovland, said that it was electrostatic noise, not hum, and that they were working ... |
