| What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp? amp or DAC? It depends on the system and other variables. In one system the the DAC is the weak link, it will have a better impact. Or you may drop a component into a system and it will have great synergy with what you have so it will have a great... | |
| Is upgrading worth it? Digepex brings up a major problem for a lot music audiophiles like. It can be very frustrating investing a ton of money in your system only to have a lot of your favorite music sound worse. There are brands however that can put some life and air i... | |
| Cary SA 200,2 I put in Mazda 12au7s from Upscale Audio. | |
| Cary SA 200,2 I noticed the SLP 03 has been beat up some on some other forums. I was not expecting much when I got it based on what I had read. However, this game is about synergy, and the SLP 03 and the Cary 200.2 amp have it in spades. It works great with the... | |
| Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters? Dave, what is you budget? I listen to rock/pop too and I found the VSA Unifield 3s with the right electronics is an excellent speaker for this application. There is a pair on Agon right now. Good luck. | |
| Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters? Elac FS 247s. I have not heard them but they sure do look nice. | |
| Cary SA 200,2 Just an update from me. I ended up getting the Cary SA 200.2 and Cary SLP 03 from the Audio Connection. Stellar combination!! I even like it better than the ARC Ref 5/Sim Audio W7 combo I had. I have had them for a a few months and I don't even th... | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 I have owned the VSA VR-1s and the Green Mountain Audio Europa and I agree those are excellent choices and are great buys, especially on the used market. I also own Mark and Daniel monitors and you should be able to pick these up on the used marke... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range Well don't hold back Audiozen, let us have it. :). | |
| Comments on Amphion Speakers, Please I just heard my old pair at my brother in laws place. His room is inherently better than mine and the sound is excellent. Good dynamics, warmth, and extension. Don't hear much about Amphion on the boards, but this is a very underrated brand for sure. | |
| Cary SA 200,2 I have heard the 200.2 with the SLP 03 combination and it is amazing. Just from doing a search on the SLP 03, it doesn't seem really highly regarded and some even bag on it a little. But, when it comes to synergy this combo really has it. | |
| Why magic at 80 db? yeah, I noticed that too on just about every system I have put together. I think it is a major challenge to put together a system that really comes to life at DB less than 80. So between 80 to 85 is where I mainly listen. From a hearing protection... | |
| Anyone ever hear Volent Paragon VL-4 Loudspeakers looks interesting. Six Moons gave it a good review. | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? absoultely a deal breaker. I have a laptop as my source and I can switch cds/songs very easily. Becuase different recordings have different volume levels, I need to adjust often. I also have my 2 channel set up hooked into tv so I need input selec... | |
| Amp more important than speakers? I think the room/speaker interaction has to be addressed first and foremost. Some speakers work better in certain types of rooms or some designs are better for small rooms ect..I was always trying to fix my system with new gear. I could take that ... |
