| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Look for an amp with at least 125 watts per side and doubles down into 4 ohms. This is why the BAT works so well - lots of power and unconcerned by drops in impedance.Some other suggestions:1. Musical Fidelity A5.5 Integrated amplifier or used A52... | |
| anyone listened to iTunes Plus on high end system? I tested a version of Jennifer Warnes' rendition of "Ballad of a Runaway Horse" from the Famous Blue Raincoat recording, comparing a CD burned from an iTunes plus download against the original AIFF CD version of the same release of the same song, ... | |
| speakers fo PrimaLuna Prologue One. Try Dynaudio Audience 52 or 52 SE - both used now. These lowish sensitivity speakers seem like they would be poor match for the relatively low power ProLogue one, but they sound great together. Put the 52's on a nice stand and give them some room ... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? So Sharon Isbin would actually be your "guitar momma"... I just bought one of her CDs based on these recommendations - very nice work. | |
| Speaker and Integrated Amp Dilemna Make up your mind yet? I just heard the Nait XS for the first time and was totally blown away. I was paired with a very expensive older Naim CD with outboard power source and Naim floor standing speakers and all stock Naim cables. Have to say I ha... | |
| New preamp & amp? I apologize, think I misread your original post. If you were to keep your CD and Speakers, you have a lot of good new stuff to choose from in this price category. For mostly rock listening, I might recommend your $2-3k investment go to something l... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi - hope all is well. | |
| New preamp & amp? I actually think the Alpha 9 is better than I had originally thought. My neighbor has the Alpha 7 and it doesn't hold a candle to any of the players I recommend. I think rather than "better", the new NAD 565 will be "different", perhaps a little m... | |
| power cord length Dwhitt,Hey, how's it going? Interested to hear about your new system when you are ready to expound.Don't worry about a short cord, its not the length that matters, it's the flow! I would go to a reasonable custom cord manufacturer like Signal, Zeb... | |
| New preamp & amp? Nice speakers. The key weakness here is your old adcom amplifier. Your CD player has also been eclipsed by a rash of new and very sophisticated and great sounding models available for near a grand and up.For mostly Rock music:Idea 1. Naim Nait 5i ... | |
| Who is that incredible jazz bass girl? Her latest CD certainly has it's moments - she sings and plays like she is from Rio, but I think she actually grew up in Portland, OR. She's something of a prodigy.Here she is on Jimmy Kimmel Live:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8gynGy8pSgand this... | |

| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? Sounds like Lindisfarne has direct experience with this matching. I do not but have never heard a smallish stand mount or floor stander sound bad with the Nait 5. The XS has more steam than the 5, and so should be able to starch the ATC's shorts f... | |
| Cambridge 640A V2 Volume Control Issue R1g_audio,From your last comment - it sounds to me like your problem has more to do with the mechanics of your nob than with the electrical performance of your pot and associated parts. I suggested the Rothwell attenuators because they would reduc... | |
| Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner???? It's number 37 on the periodic table instead of number 45 - and they both start with "R". Brain fart. |
