| Which amplifier (integrated) would you recommend for Monitor Audio PL speakers I've heard Creek Evolution 50A integrated and I thought it sounded great. Depending on your budget you can also consider the 100A model which delivers more wattage. | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? "...went to a 6SN7 based amp. Mapletree and Atmasphere make this kind of pre, but they aren’t going to yield you more detail."Does this mean these provide less detail at the expense of more midrange bloom? Can you please elaborate since I’m really... | |
| iPhone into Bel Canto 2.5 ?? I don't think you can use the iPhone charging port as a digital out port. I use the headphone jack with a mini jack -> RCA adaptor but that's analog output. | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's.... Hmmm. no one suggested an Audio Research preamp? I think an LS27 can be had in that price range but no phono. Or a comparably priced SP model. | |
| Help Me Choose (new) Bookshelf Speakers, and Integrated Amplifier for $1300 and under! I heard a pair of Wharfedale 10.2 speakers paired with a Creek Evolution 50A integrated last weekend at a friend's house and I thought the system sounded very good. It was set up in an average size bedroom and filled the room nicely - his son's ro... | |
| Some Stereo Speakers Appropriate to my Setup and Around $500 or Less (if possible) I was (very) lucky to find a pair of Vandersteen 2Ci speakers with Sound Anchor stands locally and bought them about a month ago. They look truly brand new and I only paid $450.They do come up for sale occasionally but they are very heavy, especia... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? +1 on gears need to match. Some CJ preamp models tend to have unusually high gain and depending on the pairing amp you may not be able to move the volume control past 9 o'clock for most listening conditions. Check the (gain) specs carefully before... | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 OP, coincidentally I have the same preamp and was/am in the same quest as you are. The usual popular choice in preamp upgrade path is Conrad Johnson and I watch the classifieds and read as much as I could to find a good choice. I had the opportuni... | |
| What's needed to Steam Tidal Stick with a sure thing, I always do. That said, you should be able to get comparable quality sound from Ayre based on what I've heard. | |
| Some Stereo Speakers Appropriate to my Setup and Around $500 or Less (if possible) An audiophile friend of mine recently bought a pair of Wharfedale 10.2 speakers - hooked to Creek Evolution 50A integrated, for his son's birthday. I heard them last week and I thought they sounded really good in his moderately small bedroom. The ... | |
| Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 amplifier Recommendation Much easier to make vocals sound good. You know you have a good synergy when you can listen to western classical and rock music at moderately loud levels without hurting your ears. | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 OP, which model NAD preamp do you have? | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering missioncoonery, you may not consider $9,000 speakers high end but many of us out there do. To each his own. What do you have in your system? | |
| Preamp for ATC SCM 19v2 and Merrill Thor mono's? You can quickly rule out quite a few brands if black faceplate is a must. That could (unfortunately) include some of the best options out there. | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions My very simpleminded/layman observation is some amps put out more power as the load is reduced which implies a near constant voltage delivery. Others behave the opposite which seems to imply a constant current source. The former is better for low ... |
