| bookshelf speaker choice Jdfelice I don't think you have a bad choice either way.Don't forget your stands will cost you $200 to $500. My two cents...hold out longer for a used pair Usher BE-718.Enjoy the process and have some fun.Pierre | |
| Advice needed building a system over time??? Forget the components for 5 minutes and evaluate your listening room. Then consider:Two or four dedicated 20 amp circuits using either (PS Auido Power Ports, Shunyata SR-Z1 or Oyaide R1s) AC outletsDouble check grounding and line noise from the ma... | |

| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers Snakonmars,Don't forget you can always tweak the sound by using NOS tubes. Then you can look at Interconnects and Power Cords for the preamp to help refine the sound. But your tubes will have the most impact in sound refinement. | |
| Treble of Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand? I'm agreement with Dave.My beloved Haydns (HT) are paired with Musical Fidelity A308 power amp (250 watts dual mono.) It's a good match for the Haydns. Lots of clean current and dynamics. I get good midbass and I have no complaints about the trebl... | |

| Best speakers for compressed audio Michael try a power conditioner or new AC power cord if your getting interface. Then look into DAC (BenchMark or Bel Canto) if the hard drive has USB output. The DAC will improve Flac sound and mps (depending on the source) and the filter will cle... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound Excellent point Rodman9999. And I do know the difference between Zildjian and Sabians or a Paste. Or when the drum stick strikes the skin of the snare drum head in the middle or partial on the rim simultaneously. | |
| Vienna baby grand I agree with Dcstep. Consider stepping up to a larger amp that fits your listening needs...whatever that is. My Haydn Grand (used in HT) is powered by Musical Fidelity A308CR dual mono power amplifier...it is a killer. It's rated at 250 watts per ... | |
