| Help First Audiophile system Brian, you can put an excellent system together for a song used. System maching is the key. Decide if you want a bookshelf or floorstander. Receiver/ Int. amp or seperates. Decide if having a remote is important to you. I've put systems together t... | |
| Can a component after complete breaking reverse ? Most times when I move IC or spk. wires around, it does take some time for sound quality to return to where it was before.(Smoother/warmer sound w/greater bass and generally less brightness.) Why that is so, I do not know. I don't think cables com... | |
| Choosing the right Bryston amp I personally would go for the higher powered amp. From personal experience, I can highly recommend the 4B ST. An excellent amp. | |
| Review: Anti-Cable Anti-IC’s 1 Meter Interconnect Nice review. What connector was on your cable? The website mentions two, I believe. I was contemplating ordering a pr. but wasn't sure which to order. By any chance, has anyone have any thoughts on how the DMN Reson cable sounds and might compare ... | |
| Starting a high-end audio shop... Am I crazy? I'd say go for it! At least you'll have no regrets later. It sounds like you have the background to be sucessful. Good Luck! | |
| 12AT7 tubes The RCA Black plates are worth considering as well. Eventually I preferred the Telefunken sound. Good Luck! Bill. | |
| tuner questions Since you have a NAD Int. amp, I would suggest a matching NAD tuner. (Especially if it could be remote controlled!) There are so many good vintage tuners out there which can be bought for a song. A good tuner will make a big difference sound quali... | |
| How to warm up cold-sounding Rotel/B&W system? I'm not familiar w/ your equipment from personally use, but it seems to me the logical choice is to either change the spks. or change the amp. An amplifier can have a huge difference in the way a spk. can sound. More refined w/better bass and an e... | |
| Good Advice Speakers are perhaps the most important part of a system. There are many great sub-$1000 spks. (Rega Jura, Tannoy's, Snell's, ADS, Spendor to name just a few....)But to get the most out of these spks. good amplification is needed to bring out thei... | |
| vintage integrated My Sony TA-AX6 Int. amp has the "Spk. strip" type binding posts. These are actually pretty decent. I did replace the Spk. B strip for some Superior Electric BP-31 gold-plated binding posts. A big improvement over the stock posts. Another Sony amp(... | |
| vintage integrated The brightness you mentioned could be caused by the binding posts used w/your TA-2650. I'm not sure these are spring loaded or some type of screw down, but you would not believe the difference a good set of binding posts will make. Also change the... | |
| vintage integrated Haven't heard vintage Sansui/Marantz but I'm very impressed by Sony's offering from the 80's. Great int. amps/rec's which can be bought very reasonably. Upgrade the cord/binding posts and you'll be very pleased w/the sound. Newer entry-level mass ... | |
| Sony 808ES Integrated Sony made some great Int. amps as well as great tuners/rec's. "Linear Legato" and esp. the int. amps which also included "ACT" are extremely musical and yes, most certainly "sleepers." (I own a few of these pieces from the 80's. One is these is a ... | |
| Advice on Arcam My memory of the NAD 304 is that it was a lean sounding amp. An enjoyable amp, but so much better can bought used for just a few hundred dollars more. Not familiar w/the older Arcam Alpha int. amp but I've owned the the Arcam Alpha 10 and Alpha 5.... | |
| new to tuners I would look for an NAD 412 tuner which did not come w/a remote BUT, I believe, can be made remote-controlable by using the your Int. amps remote and using the "link" RCA jack from the tuner to the Int. amp. Or buy a new Nad tuner. If you are not ... |
