| Basic Preamp - suggestions? I noticed you have a Rotel amp. I have a Rotel preamp that used to drive a Rotel RB1080 and I was very happy with it. Might want to consider the RC1070 pre. I have since upgraded the amp to a tube amp and I am now in the process of upgrading my pr... | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies Great!! You made my day. Now I can go thinking I did help someone, at least once! This forum has been great for me, but I've been taking more than I am able to give.BTW, as mentioned above I'm considering a crossover as well. How are you implement... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Luna and others: anyone has an opinion about the sound differences of VTSP-2 vs. Lamm LL2? It will be used with a McIntosh MC275. I understand the differences in ergonomics and other features, but can't listen to both. I've talked to people who ow... | |
| DIY Anti-IC project Sounds like the CAT5 speaker cables by Chris Venhaus of VH Audio, doesn't it? http://www.venhaus1.com/diycatfivecables.html | |
| McIntosh MA2275 int tube Amp...OPINIONS PLEASE MA2275 compared to what? I have a MC275 which is essentially the amp section of the 2275 and love it. It is my first tube amp and a keeper for a good while as far as I'm concerned. However there are always better sounding options at different pric... | |
| DAC/PRE Some more options:- PS Audio PWD- Esoteric D70 (older, but among the very best you could buy at any price around 2004)- Wadia 27 or 27ix (same as with the D70)- Audio Aero Prima- Weiss Minerva and DAC2- Berkeley Alpha- Tact 2.2XP (and you get room... | |
| Cost to treat a room? One way could be to buy and read a couple of books (ej, Everest's and Floyd's books) to understand what's going on, get an SPL meter from Radio Shack ($60?) and a CD with test tones and start experimenting with home furnishings, comforters, etc to... | |
| Preamp suggestions Rowland Capri? | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Mitch,If and when you get the Herron, please post your impressions. I'm especially interested in how it compares with your Lamm, as these two are in my short list and I have no way to audition both in my system.Thank you and have fun!Horacio | |
| Upgrading from my Rotel RCD-1072 Miner,I have not heard the two players you are contemplating, but I guess it would be hard for anyone to provide any feedback without knowing what it is you are trying to improve and what the rest of your system is.FWIW, I own an RCD-1072, and whi... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Kclone: no, not a deal killer at all. BTW, you didn't mean dealer killer did you?? you don't like your dealer too much, ah? :-)Just wanted to know to understand what one gets for the price. The LL2 and the First Sound don't have a phono either, an... | |
| Is McIntosh 6900 enough for B&W 802D? Enough to make them work? Certainly.Enough to get the best out of the 802D? I don't think so.To sound decent? Well, that means different things to different people. Some here "can't stand" some VERY expensive CD players...I tend to think any of th... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? FWIW, I meant RC1070 + RB1080 + 804S sounded harsh. With the CM4 the 1070+1080 sounded good to me. | |
| Primare I30 and B&W 803D, enough power?? Demianm,In light of what is being said here, including your preference for integrateds, may I suggest you wait until you save more and get a large McIntosh or Classe integrated? these two brands are generally considered good matches with B&W (... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Thanks guys for the very good feedback!It's really too bad I cannot listen to any of these components.It's not the first time I read something about the First Sound leaning to the lean side in some systems. I'm thinking it might be too risky with ... |
