| Budding Audiophile Seeks Speaker Guidance Kryptonian,My vote would be to go one of two paths:-look for a used pair of Monitor Audio GR10s on the forum or ebay. They are not the latest model, but are in your budget, are bookshelf, have the acoustic properties you are looking for IMO. Prior... | |
| mono amp advice Lots of great options - of the amps listed I would go with the Boulder. I'd also take a set of 7B-SSTs over the JC1s since you have short-listed them. Just my opion. I have a similar set up, and am thinking about going to ASR Exclusive II...maybe.... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi or Bryston B100 SST ? I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the above IMHO. The Bryston 100B-SST is simply outstanding and should be listened to, not that the Krell is a slouch. I just think that the 100B is a step up in performance, especially in the area o... | |
| Need CD interconnect advice. My advice would be to stick with the Kimber Silver Streak. IMO, they offer the highest value among high-end cables. There are better, but they are exponentially more expensive. One would even have an arguement for that "value statement" extending ... | |
| Does anyone hear Bryston pre-amp BP26? Chazzbo,I have had 4B/4B-SST and 7B-ST/7B-SSTs. I agree with you. The change from going from the B series to the ST series was significant; the ST to SST series results in a much, much smaller change. If you read the stereophile review (for what i... | |
| Does anyone hear Bryston pre-amp BP26? I have listened to the BP26 several times. I too currently own the SP1.7 (equivalent to the BP25 for 2-ch analog). The BP26 improves on the BP25 (to a minor but important degree). It sounds slightly more detailed and "big" in a good way to me. IMH... | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system Wstritt, I believe Sheffield is relocating and perhaps that why their page is down. http://www.regnar.com/Sheffield%20Recordings.htm (last CD on the list) indicates that one should still be able to order it. I guess I'll have to wait and see.Since... | |
| Bryston vs Simaudio ? While there is no "best" in this subjective hobby, I have owned the SimAudio I-5, and recently purchased a 100B-SST w/ DAC (3 months ago). To my ears, the 100B-SST has better bass control, resolution, imaging and neutrality than the I-5. The DAC i... | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system You Can't Always Get What You Want - Rolling Stones. Everyone is very familiar with this song and the many poor recordings of it. When someone actually hears the SACD remaster (Hot Rocks, Disk 2, Trk 7), I always get the same reaction...Wow! Not t... |
