| How much gear do you own? Had enough equipment for three systems plus. Upgraded my speakers and realized the potential of my main system. So, this past month, I’ve sold a ton of gear, the proceeds of which will now go into my main system. In fact, I’d down to deciding on a... | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... How about an Atoll IN50 Signature? French made and priced very conservatively. You don't hear much about them, but when I started seeing them in audio shops that carry lots of high end stuff, I started asking about them. I have yet to hear anyo... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Thanks to everyone that responded, provided feedback, or provided suggestions. I have decided to stretch for the Audio Research Ref 6SE. Now on to cables. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please To everyone who has made suggestions or constructive comments, thank you. I aapreciate your time and effort. @Soix Some time ago, I bought a smoker before I knew what aspects were important to me, or how to use it. A few years later, I was a... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please @fuzztone - thanks for your responses. The existing Dartzeel equipment is not in my budget. I searched fo any announcement of a new preamplifier, but could not find any information. Would you elaborate please? | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please @arcticdeth - phono stage has balanced output and the streamer/DAC, so I need two balanced inputs on a preamplifier. Ruled out Sugden Masterclass for that reason. | |
| No response from seller Just a different perspective. I listed an integrated amp for sale here. The system didn’t send me any notifications. I later found an offer that I would have accepted, but it was about two weeks old, and the potential buyer didn’t respond when I s... | |
| Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used I second the recommendation to consider Monitor Audio, specifically the Silver 300. | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. You should consider Monitor Audio Silver 300. On the Stereophile recommended equipment list, and the MSRP is $2,200, so you might get a small discount and be right at budget.https://www.stereophile.com/content/monitor-audio-silver-300-loudspeaker | |
| Reference 3A MM de Capo Be - how do they sound? @soix This will be a third system, and I will build it around the speakers. Currently, I have a pair of Moon by SimAudio 400M amps, a pair of Parasound Halo JC1, a pair of Benchmark AHB2, and a Cayin A-88T tube integrated. I sort of assumed I’d lo... | |
| Reference 3A MM de Capo Be - how do they sound? @testpilot Thank you for your insight. Would "lean" also be "cold" or "bright". The new version II is offered in Rosenut, either satin or gloss, and high gloss black. | |
| Reference 3A MM de Capo Be - how do they sound? @grinnell Thank you for your response. This is helpful@akg_ca I thought I’d watched every YouTube video on the MM de Capo Be, but I had not see this one. I had seen previous videos by the same person, so thank you. | |
| New/Used Amp recommendations for about $3k-$4k? Stretch a few hundred dollars and grab a pair of Parasound Halo JC1 monoblocks. If I understand correctly, they were on Stereophile's Class A rated amplifier list longer than any other amp. With the newer JC1+ out for about a year, these are sel... |
