| Purchase from Canada I have bought from Canada on several occasions from interconnects to a Consonance Droplet 5.0 cdp at about 60 lbs to a pair of Xindak monoblocks at about 50 lbs each. I was hit with customs on the interconnects only and that was through UPS. Whe... | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? I've had the Kimber and wouldn't call it warm. I played around with various wire doing the DIY thing briefly and came across Polar Wire Products (www.polarwire.com). I was told a pricey power cord used their copper wire in a doubled up configura... | |
| How does the Equi=Core MK II version compare to the original 1200 or 1800 thanks lowrider57---I'm mostly considering the new Equi=Core 1000 based on physical size. Still, I like to purchase used when possible to save $$$ Thanks for the info | |
| What used amp should I pair with my newly acquired Monitor Audio GR60's? I had a pair of Emotiva XPA 1 gen II a while back very briefly. I wanted the power for a pair of newly acquired BG Corp Radio 520 loudspeakers as I only had low powered tube amps at the time. I could get moderate volume from a 45 watt push/pull ... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... I posted back at the beginning of February asking about higher powered options to replace my SET amp (JAS Array 2.1), inquiring about Class D in particular. There were some interesting options, most prohibitively expensive. I eventually settled ... | |
| Which aes/ebu cable? CCA Magnum Opus, Audio Sensibility Signature, or RAL Prophecy Ref? auxinput---I certainly believe you about the Oyaide Focus xlr. Strange how different a creature the Iego 8095 AC plug is then. I actually have used that plug to tame a peakiness in the upper midrange which is where I usually hear brightness. I'v... | |
| Which aes/ebu cable? CCA Magnum Opus, Audio Sensibility Signature, or RAL Prophecy Ref? wturkey----unfortunately, 2 are on the used market so no sampling and I recently had Mel at CCA work on a Master Class interconnect and then offer a good deal on a digital cable I inquired about. He clearly states that all sales are final and th... | |
| What used amp should I pair with my newly acquired Monitor Audio GR60's? ring30----what amp did you settle on? | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i If you are trying to decide between the two, let me offer another option. I had a single Pathos Classic MK III and found it lacking. By that I mean it ran out of steam at listening levels I thought lower than the power rating would indicate and ... | |
| Xindak Seems like the stats are mixed between 2 different Xindak models. There is the smaller XA8800NMU mini which is 160w and maybe 85 lbs for the pair----you can get these used for a lot less than $1600 and then there is the MA8800NME which is rated a... | |
| What used amp should I pair with my newly acquired Monitor Audio GR60's? At that price point I have found the Jaton Operetta AV 5140 to be an excellent all-around performer. I prefer a more detailed sound with sharper image focus/outlines and a tighter bass. These Jatons are frequently available in 4 or 5 channels s... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options brianlucey---I picked up my first JAS Array 2.1 for an even trade for a pair of Monarchy Audio SE 160's and then a few yrs later bought a demo JAS for less than $1500 shipped. Add about $600-700 for tubes and I had great sound for well under $250... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options boomerbillone----what 300B were you using? | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options boomerbillone---sounds very interesting and what a nice price. Where did you purchase yours and are you missing any qualities in the new amp vs the Elekit? Thanks for the recommendation!speakermaster---with regards to vintage amps, back in the d... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Charles---I probably won't (ever) be able to swing the Mola Mola or Soulution amps but am interested in the Benchmark. I'd be much more likely to seek them out if the used price were lower though. How did you feel about the Benchmark's sound? I... |
