| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Half way there! So, I made my trip to divest myself of old stuff from the basement. Good or bad, here is the outcome. I traded my non-working Yamaha CR2020 receiver and a pair of KEF Q300 speakers plus a few box store grade items for a Yamaha M80... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Like the looks and specs of the Buckeyamp. Some unease due to short time in market. Looks like a one man show. Interestingly, he’s also a cable denier. Re: Marantz 30. Very much on my radar now. Stereophile class A, mm/mc phono input (variable). ... | |
| Hearing protection and Music You may be expecting too much. I use Sennheiser Momentum when I mow or use my gas powered trimmer. They are adequate for that noise level but you certainly can’t expect high fidelity. I would equate it to listening to the radio while driving on th... | |
| A Different "Analog" Question mach19, actually all the new Rolex watches are regulated to +/- 2 seconds per day. That is the tightest in the industry. | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. FWIW, I am not considering any tubed products. | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Mimi, I think you might have missed the part about my $2k budget. | |
| A Different "Analog" Question I was analogue until about 2 years ago. I’ve owned several Rolex. Never lost many on any. My last was a Submariner I had for some 22 years. Sold it for 3 times what I paid for it. I have become an Apple convert for reasons given above. Originally ... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. I will probably make a decision by this weekend. Taking a bunch of stuff I've accumulated over the years to a place in Kansas City that repairs audio gear and also buys. None of it, except for my Yamaha CR2020, is worth trying to sell online as it... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Those have all been on my radar. I've been obsessing and researching this for over a month now. The 1582 MK2 looks interesting. As far as NAD, I may be wrong here but I was bothered by the number of negative comments about their reliability and bu... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Budget is $2k. Not hard line but not willing to go much higher. Too many other things in life and considering I've been retired for 11 years so need to watch the cash outflow. | |
| 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... |
