| Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap One person's budget gear could be someone else's holy grail gear so some specificity would be helpful. That said, I think a pair of Mark Levinson No. 536 monos should be on the short list. Not sure those larger Vincent monos are available statesid... | |
| Adcom? I stand corrected. Should have checked before claiming they were no longer in business. Their "new" products do look interesting. Curious to hear how they sound. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers "AND the choice might depend on the type of music..."I think the choice also depends on the amplifiers feeding the speakers. Based on my limited experience, I think you need a twice as good of an amplifier to make a Magnepan sound like a comparabl... | |
| A visit to the (Audio) Doctor This seems to be the norm here where someone takes the time to share their positive experience with an audio dealer and folks feel the urge to crawl out and claim there's a hidden agenda... amazing... | |
| Adcom? I don't think Adcom is business any longer but I've owned (and seriously abused) their products for the past thirty years and still do, and have not had a single problem, not even a blown fuse.Not sure I follow the point of your post. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Since he already got the Gryphon, it looks like you're the most likely candidate to try (one of) the rest and report back | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? I've heard that preamp with a VPI Prime front end and you'd need a very serious CDP to come anywhere close to that sound. Your turntable (or cartridge) is the bottleneck. | |
| Maybe tube preamp This question seems to pop up at least twice a month and the recommendations always include the usual suspects and/or personal favorites. The input impedance of this particular amp is high enough to allow most tube preamps out there so you can bas... | |
| Teckton OB Sigma speaker stoney40, please do post your impressions. I've been curious about those speakers for a long time and don't seem to hear much about them. Thanks in advance | |
| Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE Oh boy, sorry man. I was just reacting to the totality of the threads/posts around your journey and didn't mean to ruffle any feathers..... sounds like you're having fun and that's all that matters. Enjoy the ride. | |
| Amp selection for someone on a modest budget... Without a clear budget, this conversation is essentially pointless and will only result in a list of usual suspects. | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp Ralph, is the need for the very short speaker cable unique to the planar/OTL combination or long cable inherently causes low frequency roll-off? I didn't think the cable length should be that detrimental given a 1.75 ohm output impedance on the MA... | |
| Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE Maybe its just me but I find this conversation very confusing. Most of the posts from the OP seem to imply he's in audio heaven with his current system and not clear (to me) what are the specific characteristic(s) of the SQ that need improvement. ... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? dpac996, you start your post with asking what is a "tube" sound and end it by making the statement "If you are after "tube sound" cut to the chase; buy a tube amp and relax!" Makes a little sense.People buy what sounds good to their ears. Tube sou... | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. Ive also heard great things about the Elac AS-61 monitors but they might just suck every amp of current from your amplifier in order to sound as they should.The Calibre mentioned earlier is also very impressive both esthetically and sonically but ... |
