| Best Pre-Amp/Amp for Focal JMLab electra 920 Hello again Jaguarcondor, I am happy you've solved your problem. I know from experience how frustrating audio can be when you're trying to get rid of noise due to grounding issues, or can't pinpoint exactly whats wrong but know something isn't cor... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Jimi Hendrix was and still is the most incredible master of guitar. Don't get me wrong I love other great guitarists too, but Jimi's playing is on a whole other level. Its a damn shame his life was cut so short. Wonder what else he would have come... | |
| best used amp for Martin Logan SL3's Great speaker! Something with high current and stable into a low impedance will do nice. YBA amplifiers have very high current (even though "watts" rating may be considered low) and are stable driving low impedance loads. They also sound fantastic... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I think there are several reasons why high end audio is such a limited market. First of all the general public has no idea it exists. The greatest product in the world will not sell if no one is aware of it in the first place. Secondly, people nee... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Vinyl is still king when it comes to ultimate realism. Once you experience a proper setup tailored to your system you will wonder how you lived without it all these years! Happy hunting! | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I am lucky because my wife understands how important music and a quality audio system is to me. When I want to upgrade and finances permit she supports me all the way. | |
| B&W 801D VS. Focal-JmLab Nova Utopia Be Thanks Aball. I know a search looks for a word in any order. The reason I did this particular thread was to better catch the eye of B&W fans looking through the general B&W section. By the way I see you use Electra 926 speakers. I helped a... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Hello Mtkh1567! Unfortunately I haven't heard Emmlabs and/or Metronome. As you know its impossible to hear everything and there comes a time when you have to make a decision. I've heard many cd players over the years from cheap to ultra expensive ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money The best cd players IMO are hands down YBA. I own a YBA CD1 alpha blue laser and have heard some other models as well (CD3 and CD2). As a vinyl fanatic I wanted a player that would give me the emotion of the music in a way that a good analogue set... | |
| Best Pre-Amp/Amp for Focal JMLab electra 920 Good luck in choosing the right amplifiers. Remember with tube designs eventually you will have to replace tubes which can be costly. I am not saying that you shouldn't consider them just keep that in mind when making a decision. Respectfully the ... | |
| Focal -JM Lab Nova Utopia Be VS. B&W 801D Reply to Kmccarty. I know exactly what you mean. How many times do we hear great audio gear sound terrible at dealers, audio shows, ect... I have a pair of JM Lab Electra 920.1 speakers in my two channel setup and JM Lab Chorus in my home theatre ... | |
| B&W what amp is best solid state or tube... guess In response to Audiofeil. My analogy between a Challenger and a Honda was intended to make a point which should be obvious. Even if a Honda engine was tuned to match say a 426 hemi in horsepower the torque wouldn't be close not to mention how redi... | |
| B&W what amp is best solid state or tube... guess Solid state or tubes really isn't the question it's what amp you like the sound of best. There are designs of both types that are capable of handling B&W speakers. The key to audio is matching your speakers to a proper system (in particular a ... | |
| YBA System Thank you for your response Aball. Honestly I'll be surprised as well if anyone has heard the full system. Its worth a try! | |
| B&W vs FOCAL I would recommend finding a dealer who will let you a/b both speaker systems in your own room. Both speakers can sound amazing in a correct setup. It really boils down to what you like better. Make sure that they are well broken in before you make... |
