| Mini Monitors: Sonus Faber Cremona or Micro Utopia Rlwainwright - I meant to thank you a long time ago. There was a pair of the KEFs here on A'gon for a reasonable price and I bought them -- after reading a bunch of reviews. They're excellent. I've sold the Dulcets and am not looking back. The KEF... | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences Thanks, all. This has been very helpful. I'm going to hold off on buying Druids or Essences. If I do go for a Zu speaker, it will probably be a Soul Superfly or an original Soul. $999 is a nice price, I have to say.But, based on these comments, I'... | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences Thanks, John. I thought about that option, but Zu isn't selling directly online right now. They have a notice up that says they will be again soon, but there's no date listed.I was also thinking - but I could easily be wrong - that the new line of... | |
| Experience w/Cabasse Farella 400s/Audio Note AZ2 Thanks for all your replies; I very much appreciate them. As it happens, I was looking at a pair of Farella 400s on e-bay that were priced at $419.00, but they sold last night or early today (after being listed for over a month, I believe). At suc... | |
| Fairly cheap SS preamp with a good phono preamp? Thanks Schipo and Jedinite. It's true; I've never heard any Adcom gear. I jumped right from 40-year-old McIntosh gear to Rowland, Plinius, Bryston, Pass Labs, etc. The 565 might fit the bill.I actually own a USP-1 right now as a back-up pre- for a... | |
| Fairly cheap SS preamp with a good phono preamp? Thanks, Transnova. The one here on the 'gon sold, but I found another one - new - for $700 that I'm seriously considering. | |
| A phono amp that beats the MFA Magus's phono? Grinnell, I've seen those come up from time to time and they've disappeared too fast for me to snatch one up. I also wasn't sure that they would best the Magus.Newbee, I was thinking of a phono pre that had volume controls that can run directly be... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Thanks again to everyone who responded. Getting the Hyperions up and running turned out to be a real hassle. One of the bass cabinets arrived partly smashed - even though the speakers were in their original boxes, shrinkwrapped, and palletized - a... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Thanks for your responses, all. I wound up going in a slightly different direction and buying a pair of Hyperion 938s. It was those or a pair of the Acoustic Zen Adagios, which were highly and frequently recommended. The Adagios seem to be availab... | |
| Do any amps have 6 ohm taps for 6 ohm impedance? Thank you all for your responses. I'll use the 4 or 6 ohm (if it has them) taps on my ancient McIntosh amp until I buy a new solid state amp. Kijanki, I was actually thinking about a Rowland 102, but I wasn't sure that the 100W would be enough pow... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Thanks again to everyone for your responses and suggestions. I've been researching all of them. I'm still very interested in Acoustic Zen Adagios and might wait for a pair to become available. I'm curious about members' experiences with the Genesi... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. I'm doing some on-line research. The Totem Forests have been recommended to me a number of times. Do they have enough bass in a big room without a subwoofer? I was hoping to avoid that route, and I... | |
| Jeff Rowland preamp phono better than dynavector? Thanks, Stanwal. You're right - I was confused about what the P-75 does. And I am running the P-75 into one of the high level inputs -- one of the "tape" inputs -- and not into the low input MM phono input. Does it matter which high level input I ... |
