| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Not really hung up on watts. The Yamaha A-s1200 is only rated at 90wps @ 8ohm.However, it has a 624 v/a toroidal transformer and will happily drive 4ohm loads, Solid build at around 48 lbs. I've tossed around the idea of a tube amp. Most high-qu... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. The Shiit combos Go over budget. Gotta ask, any love for Emotiva here? The Yamaha I was eying is gone. Emotiva BasX series looks really good from where I sit. X A2 amp is 160wpc @8 and 250@4. PT2 preamp has an awful nice feature set. All in for ab... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Don't have golden ears. Far from it (I'm 75). My interest is getting the most I can from my new KEF R3 Metas. My Yamaha R-N500 will certainly play loud enough but in the interest of getting the best from them in terms of what many people here talk... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. To be clear, my BlueSound node will handle my digital needs. Only missing a phono amp. Streaming, Bluetooth, wi-fi and hdmi ARC so my only preference in an integrated is for a phono stage. | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. No interest in a receiver. I am intrigued by the Emotiva combo. 160 into 8ohms and 250 into 4. The JBL is class G and pumps 200 watts into 4ohms. Don’t know about reliability. I am also strongly drawn to the Yamaha A-S1200. I have a long history w... | |
| Advice on speaker replacement So, the jury is in and money has changed hands. I deviated from my original plans and ended up buying a pair of KEF r3 Metas and a Bluesound Node 2i, Being a member of the cheap "audiophile" club, I scored a pair of open box KEF r3s and a factory... | |
| Advice on speaker replacement I think I've made a decision. After countless runs through available resources, I messaged KEF with several questions. To my surprise, an actual human being from KEF called me Friday and we had a great discussion about several options, and he rela... | |
| Advice on speaker replacement I kind of think that the KEF r3 is probably the higher end of this group. Unfortunately, I don't have any reasonable way to compare them. My previous speakers were ADS L810 II that I purchased in 1978. I'm afraid if I vacillate too long, the r3s ... | |
| Small, Effective Subwoofers? No personal experience but Klipsh just came out with a new sub series. The smallest is a 10' with a -3db @ 19hz rating. List price is around $750. | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? Back in the late 70's, I assembled what for the times was a pretty decent system. Not state of the art but it was what I could afford at the time. I had a Yamaha CR2020 receiver, ADS L810 ii speakers and a Denon DP790 turntable. The turntable an... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time While I despise modern day country music, it is nowhere near as bad as rap/hip-hop. Of course, what would you expect. I’m just an old white guy in my 70’s who came of age during the folk scare and saw the Beatles live while in high school. | |
| It was 61 years ago today... Saw the Beatles live at Busch stadium in St Louis, August of 1966. All in all, a totally underwhelming experience. Too weak sound system for such a large outdoor space. It rained and what little sound we heard was largely drowned out by the scream... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Gordon Lightfoot (post aneurysm). Some don't know when to retire. Chris Christofferson Yoko Ono | |
| Any Discwasher D4 users out there? I have an original D4 kit with the brushes and Zerostat gun in a walnut holder. Also have a spare bottle of the D4 fluid, still in the blister pack. This is all the original made in Columbia, Mo. The blister pack still shows the price of $2.50. ... | |
