| Quality required to hear vinyl Should be good enough to give you a sense of what what vinyl can do. Also depends on what CD player and phono cartridge you are using, but the Regas should sound "different" in any case. | |
| Fatigue reducing interconnect? Goblue711,Also, are you using stock power cords? Better PCs can reduce some of the "edginess" associated with poorer quality digital recordings, and better recordings sound even better. | |
| Fatigue reducing interconnect? Glad to hear you are making progress.I have listened to these electronics in systems with slightly warm to boarder line bright speakers for hours without fatigue. I agree with Rooski about the impact of wires in general to a point, but I have also... | |
| SS Amp Recommendations? NAD C270 or C272 are newer possible choices. McCormack would be better, B&K at least as good as NAD. If you need an integrated amp at that price point, then the large NAD C370 or C372 could work. In addition to Carver, Parasound and Hafler are... | |
| HELP Amp for Revel M20? Bob,Good advice. I notice an amp with high dampening factor reduces the perceived wooliness in the bass considerably with these speakers. High passing them with sub could be very good solution. | |
| speakers to go with Musical Fidelity a5.5 amp Tbone1,You said "I like the look of a more traditional box type speaker rather than towers or some of the oddball looking stuff that is favored by many. My room is about 15' x 20' with carpet and a 10 foot ceiling. Rock and Roll and bluegrass are ... | |
| New/ Used speakers, 500-800 bucks CAD Loose,Pair of Silverlines available on Audiogon right now, could try and resell at little or no loss if not satisfied. Interesting take on Quad and Totem Arro - haven't heard with your amp, but thought both would work. Just goes to show how system... | |

| Need good Pre-amp $1000 if you are interested in solid state, I would listen to the NAD C-165BEE. | |
| What's best amp for around $2000.00? Check out NAD C-375BEE. At $1299, will leave you some for turntable and Bellari VP130 phono preamp. NAD has a built in phono stage, but not as good as rest of package. HiFi Bargain. | |
| speakers to go with Musical Fidelity a5.5 amp Revel Performa M22 - a nice combination with this amp. Might also look at new B&W CM5. Harbeth and Spender are great also - Harbeths are little warmer sounding to my ear if that is what you like. If you can spring for 5 grand, check out the To... | |
