| TWO CHANNEL AMP DECISION FINALLY MADE Hey Jack-Any thoughts on a tube preamp at all?I do agree on getting a dedicated preamp.Good luck! | |
| Stock McCormack DNA 225 vs DNA 1 Rev A I think there was a review in Stereophile or the like which essentially suggested getting the stock 225 over the dna-1 rev A.The reviewer had both units and liked them both.On the used market it appears the stock dna 225 is a couple hundred more. | |
| Sounds like a $5000 Integrated amp but only $1600 Geez, can we dispense with the xenophobia here?I doubt any of you own any components that do not have at least some sourced parts or some assembly offshore.It is a global economy and if you don't like it, start electing some people that will requi... | |
| Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars Thanks Bob.Interesting comments and a good read on the M&K site link.I have also read a lot of Robert E. Greene's ideas on AA.He really seesm to like the idea of two subs if set up properly. | |
| Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars You can verify whether the monitors are too small for your room with a simple SPL meter. If the level is adequate at the listening position, then the monitors are OK.I get 85 db at listening position when the integrated is pushed a bit which I con... | |
| Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars Been away from this thread for a bit.I did find another Titan (older version crica 1998-2000) just like mine that I am picking up this week.I also tried a bit of basic Room Tx and things are moving in right direction. | |
| Musical Subwoofer for 2 Channel System BUT.... I have to second the ACI suggestion.Any used Titan or newer models is a great deal and incredible value.I have upgraded my system countless times the past 6 years and the ACI Titan sub hasn't budged. | |
| advice re stand mounted speakers ACI Sapphire - any recent versions.There are used Sapphire 25th Anniversary Editions on Agon right now, and also a pair of Sapphire XL's on Agon which are the newest ones.Smooth highs, and very neutral.Great speakers. | |
| Tube phono stage I am using a Hagerman Cornet which is a kit, but I bought mine used built and upgraded by a dude over at Audiocircle.Very nice and I also use a Dyna 10X5 FWIW. (You can see my system in my sig)My vinyl tastes are jazz, reggae, and some older rock.... | |
| Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars OK guys-a couple buddies who are much more experienced than me have commented to me offline via email that Eldorado may be onto something here. :)I am always willing to learn new things in this hobby on how to build a system so maybe I will explor... | |
| Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars Thanks for the comments.-I think Musical Fidelity may have some amps that were made to match up with the amp inside the A 300-will check on that. They would be discontinued and I seem to recall they were not their better quality amps. There others... | |
| Bi wiring advice The catch is that my Crystals have bi wire speaker terminals (one of which is missing). So what I've done is hook up only one of the Crystal's +ve and -ve terminals to the speaker. Did you mean to say the AQ Crystals have bi-wire speaker terminat... | |
| Auric Illuminator on CD's I use Record Research Labs Shine Ola. Works great-no residue.Don't know AI, but something is not right. | |
| Use a seperate DAC with a Sony SCD-C2000ES TRL has modded this unit quite a bit with very good results.$550 price point and the sound would be hard to beat by any external DAC for that amount of money and well beyond.I had the Sony 595 TRL mod which is the non ES version of the 2000.The 59... | |
| Need a Sub Cable... DH Labs Subsonic. Good and reasonable price. |
