| low cost integrated amp for newbie You have a very nice tuner indeed. I'm a little surprised the 4300 is not remote-controllable. (I owned the Nad 1700 pre-amp/tuner a few years back and it had a wonderful and simple to operate remote.) Check out this web-site; www.ccrane.com They ... | |
| low cost integrated amp for newbie Ann, I personally would consider either a new NAD int. amp (NAD C-320 BEE/C-350) or would look for a used Nad 312 int. amp (has a decent phono stage) or perhaps a Marantz PM-57 int. amp.(tons of features but doesn't have the power/headroom of the ... | |
| Help with I don't think having your spks. positioned too high will result in brighter sound since the tweeter is above ear-level. How is your 4TC terminated? You might try connecting your amp/spk. bare wire. This might smooth out the sound and refine the to... | |
| What is the best amp for a Mod Squad Pre Amp A few years ago I had a Mod Squad pre-amp (the less expansive version) and for me also I thought the sound was lean and thin, esp. in the bass. Replaced it w/ an Acurus R-11 and everything was much better. You have to be careful which amp you choo... | |
| QUAD L12 OR TANNOY R2 ? I suppose that would depend on the model of B&W's you're looking at. The Dm 302/305 used a soft dome tweeter which might be a better choice of tweeter type to use w/ your Arcam. You may want to add ProAc, Spendor, and JM Reynard to your list. ... | |
| My room 12'x 9' with 8' ceilings will it sound OK? I'm in the process of setting up a basement listening room. The dimensions are 14'x 12'x 8'. Bought used Marantz seperates, Technics SL-P4 CDP and JM Lab Chorus 705 Spks. Briefly set-up system for a quick listen and it sounded great! I really don'... | |
| Need your opinion on NADC320 BEE, please Hello Simon. I've owned quite a few int. amps over the yearsand I believe what you're trying to achieve (less grainy sound) will only be accomplished by buying something more refined...higher-end SS equipment. Many fine int. amps to choose from...... | |
| Mozarts boomy-help Did all the rooms have low ceilings w/carpet flooring? (I had a pair of JM Lab Cobalt 810's that sounded completely different when placed in different rooms. The room which was small and had low ceilings, very boomy. Larger room with high ceilings... | |
| Best IC & cable for Bryston B60 I personally, given your electronics and musical tastes, would look for warm IC's and spk. cables. Consider Cardas/Van den Hul. Audition within your own system on a trial basis to see what works for you. Audioquest Quartz IC's and Crystal spk. wir... | |
| Upgrading - - recommendations monitor speaker? If you're not afraid to buy used you may want to consider the Snell KII/III that are listed on this site. Nice wood veneer cabinets and I believe they have 8" woofer w/soft dome tweeter. Nice Spks. (I believe they have the same VIFA drivers as the... | |
| Looking for isolation suggestions... Take a look at "Herbie's" isolation footers. Priced at around $8 each I believe. I haven't tried, but, will do soin the near future. | |
| Another upgrade question Hello Ent2b. As far as interconnects go I would suggest you check out Cardas 300B Microtwin/ Van den Hul 102 mk3. Both of these would set you back less than $100. (Audio Advisor has the Cardas, so you would be able to audition in your home for 30-... | |
| Suggestions for small bookshelf speakers? Spendor S 3/5. Beautiful mid-range. Decent low-end and a soft top-end. Perfect for everything you're asking for except perhaps rock.(Any loudspeaker given this size would not be the best candidate for rock.) However, only 84db effecient, so you'll... | |
| Integrated Amp advice please someone help me I agree w/the Jolida hybrid int. amp consideration made by Ewha. I own the little 30w 301 and the JD-102b. Both sound very impressive and they are great values. The Jolida 301 for $350 retail is unbeatable for the price IMO. You will not regret bu... | |
| Another upgrade question I'm far from an expert but I will give to you a few of my thoughts. The most immediate change I would make are your interconnects/speaker wires. The line conditioners you mentioned are not going to give you as much improvement as changing the inte... |
