| Mark Knopfler Recommendations I'm really enjoying "Sailing to Philadelphia." Very well recorded. Great CD! | |
| Better power cord for Bryston I just bought a 4B ST and it sounds just superb w/the stock PC. I bought some used Blue Circle power cords, model 61 and 62, and it made a huge improvement w/the Bryston BP-25 Pre-amp. (The smaller 14ga. used w/the pre.) The larger guage BC 62 I'm... | |
| Budget amp suggestions for Totem Model 1? I'll might be listing my Bryston 3B amp very shortly unless the dealer whom I bought from originally wishes to buy back. Beautiful condition and its rated @120w per channel I believe, but it sounds like a LOT more. Another good choice from what I'... | |
| Pre-amp for Snell B Minors? Buy a used Bryston BP-25 pre-amp. Comes w/remote, headphone jack, outboard power supply. It's slender and sounds excellent. Very high quality w/the Bryston 20 yr. warranty. Phono stage can be added for $400, which I've heard is excellent. I'm usin... | |
| Inexpensive PC's? Blue Circle 61 Power Cords? Well, I'm using the BC61 Power Cord on the Bryston's BP-25 power supply and the larger AWG Blue Circle 62 PC on a B&K ST 1200 power amp. Both cords sound great and are a major improvement over the stock cords. I like the fact they are very fle... | |
| Inexpensive PC's? Blue Circle 61 Power Cords? I appreciate all your replies and it has made my decision to purchase the 61/62. The 61 will go on a modified Marantz ST-46 tuner and the 62 will go on the outboard power supply of a Bryston BP-25 pre-amp or possibly on my Nak Ca-5 pre-amp. Thanks... | |
| With all your knowlege you have gained over time, Excellent comments from everyone. I'd find some "audiophile" friend or friends whom have a vast inventory of equipment sitting around and have them put a system together for you. I'm sure something nice would emerge. Then buy music/go to concerts/... | |
| upgrade advice for budget-minded beginner I would get a better pre-amp and see how things sound. Consider the excellent solid state Nakamichi CA-5 Pre-amp. The Denon CDP would come next. I wouldn't necessary disregard older CD players. Rotel's RCD-855 is a great CDP. Don't laugh but my CD... | |
| Denon: a new DCM-280 vs. a used DCD-1520 The DCM 280 is a 5 disk CDP and the 1520 is a single disk player. Yes? I've owned the model before the 1520, the 1500mk2. Nice player. Very quick transport. Sonically, decent. Adding a DAC would be highly recommended. I believe the 1520, because o... | |
| cartridge on budget table? Oyster cart. which is on my Project TT (Least expensive model) is pretty darn good. The cart. retails for $60 I believe. Denon makes a high output coil cart. which is very good as well. DL something...retail around $130. | |
| help building a new system on a budget... Going w/tubes does not necessarry mean you're going to get the sound you want. Some inexpensive 70-80's Solid state equipment (Rec./Int. Amps) sound great and has pretty decent phone stages as well. The finest inexpensive spk. that I've ever heard... | |
| Salem, Va Sounds good to me! Larry and Debbie are some of the nicest folks around. A pleasure visiting and listening to music. Excellent selection/service and a relaxed atomsphere. | |
| Integrated Amp Choice: budget tubes or ss? I'm not familiar w/ the Marantz int. amp., but my feeling is to keep the tuner and get something other than the two int. amps you mentioned. Creek 4330 SE/R should be a consideration as well a used Classe/Arcam Alpha 8. I've been very impressed by... | |
| Arcam A-80 thoughts OOPS! ARCAM! That will teach me to have my coffee! I thought you were asking about an Acurus A80! Sorry. Arcam is very sounding equipment. It will be a major upgrade over the HK. Go for it!!! | |
| Arcam A-80 thoughts I owned a A100 once and I thought it was a nice amp. Mine had a very slight transformer buzz. I thought it sounded not as full bodied as the NAD 2600A I was using previously. Treble seemed brighter. When I bought the A100 I was told it was a bette... |
