| tube amp for ProAc Response.. need suggestions somebody's listing a vincent hybrid sp-331 on agon in your range. great sounding amp. | |
| What next, after finalising components ? in all seriousness, some good liquor and a few new cds will improve your experience more than, say, a power conditioner. it looks like you've got great stuff--personally, i'd kick back and enjoy it | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings go to archive.org--every jam band in the universe posts their live shows for downloading--all free and legal | |
| NAD vs. Cambridge Audio i've owned the 50w nad c355 and the 80w model (i believe the c372) and prefer the cambridge. while the nads have undeniable virtues--great energy and oomph--to my ears they have certain unnatural grain at the top end and lack the transparency and ... | |
| smallest footprint cd player cambridge audio has a line of small-form components called sonata--the sonata cd player should work well for you--very nice stuff | |
| Buy LED, LCD or Plasma esp. if your room is dark and/or you'll be viewing at an angle, generally speaking plasma still does look better. panasonic or samsung--look at dealmac or bradsdeals to find the best online deals on a daily basis | |
| budget digital interconnect supposedly, although a regular old rca cable will carry a digital signal, it has a different impedance and/or looser tolerances than a specially-designed digital coax cable and thus will experience more signal degradation. on the other hand, digit... | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova i vote with br3098--for a 50w amp in a smallish room the von schweikerts or regas are a good choice, with the von schweikert being essentially full-range, while at $300 or so used the regas are especially good value. if you wanted to step up, the ... | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 Reference vs. Era D5 i've made a mental note to audition the eras again to ascertain whether i'm delusional, which is certainly possible. when i heard them previously, they were paired in a dealer showroom with a really good integrated (i believe a classe) and music s... | |
| Decent moderate priced speaker for large room of all of the thoughtful suggestions above, i'd go with the psb stratus golds, which i regularly see used for | |
| Upgrade question for newbie the maggies definitiely need a sub, so i'd start there, esp. since you're pleased with the sound of your amp. | |
| need DAC and Transport or good CD player cambridge 840 also very very good + has digital input to use as a dac with another devise | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 Reference vs. Era D5 looks like loomis disliking the eras unleashed a little squall ...actually, while i do enjoy flapping my jaw now and again, i've got no personal stake in dissing your tastes, or hyping my own--hell, i'm not crazy about some of the gear i've bought... | |
| Leon Russell i've always admired his talent, but never was a huge fan--for some reason he reminded me of schroeder, from charliebrown. however, "song for you", hummingbird" and "superstar" are three of the prettiest songs in the english language, so you gotta ... | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 Reference vs. Era D5 ya know, rebbi, like cars, vacuum cleaners or anything else, it's difficult to find a speaker from a reputable manufacturer that doesn't have scads of good reviews somewhere, if for no other reason than people naturally tend to validate their purc... |
