| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? OMG Erik, I wish I had $10K to put together a system! My systems, and I've been at this for about 30 years are always super musical and always way less then $10K. I'm a giantkiller type of guy, and love to put budget components together that sla... | |
| Tekton Pendragons - looking for low watt SET amp Do you know how loud 8 watts is? Back in the day, an elderly audio store owner in Philly used to have a watt meter hooked up for when us 20 somethings came in to hear music. The music would be blasting from a 100 wpc amp into some 88 db speakers... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Just read someone here on A'gon just scored a Counterpoint SA-20 at the Goodwill store for $150 - that was a $2K amp, was it not? That's a stupid good score - and it seems to work just fine too..... | |
| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 Yes, curious minds would like to know :) Interesting thread, I like reading about the Nait 2, I actually never heard one before but had a couple of Onix integrateds - the OA21s and the OA20/2 and they were both spectacular, often being called the... | |
| Need Power Amp advice B&K EX442 Sonata, 200 into 8, 360 into 4, 75 amps peak to peak - extremely tube like and you can score one for about $400-450.Also I've seen a Sonographe SA400 which looks really nice too for about $600. The larger Perreaux's look very intere... | |

| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Can't beat those Fleawatts! I've had a few of them and love Derek's creations. All very musical and stupid good for the $. | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Back in the day, in the mid 80's or so, Mod Squad came out with Tip Toes. For about $7 for a 1.5" metal triangle cone that looked like a large silver Hershey Kiss, I had them under my amp, preamp, TT and speakers. They were amazing and made such... | |
| Safe Way To Transport LPs To transport my 1500+ LP collection, I have found it much easier to break it up into smaller boxes. The free boxes from the local liquor store has the perfect small boxes that hold 50-75 lps each. It's light and easy to transport. My collection... | |
| Dearly departed Music Reference RM9 Along the same vintage as the RM-9, the Berning EA-2100 supposed to be an incredible sounding amp and the tubes are very conservatively run as well. I remember reading a review of this amp in TAS or Absolute Sound back in the day, very neutral, q... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? seanheis, which Gemtune 1501 do you have, the one with 6bq5's or the 6AD10's? I was thinking about one of these but went a different way when a reasonable Tandberg 3012 popped up. Always wanted to hear one of these Tandbergs, stupid good at $250... | |
| Integrateds, which one?????????????? I would have gone with tubes, if it were me.....SS just isn't as good, IMHO. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? The Paisley Research AE500's I found several years ago on CL for $75 was beyond stupid good, it was more like stupid f'in amazing! Definitely the best speakers I've ever owned. Bettered the $1400 Omega Grande 8's I had at the time and they retai... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? 11 x 12 is not a very big room, if it were me, I'd ace the Maggies and get a 3 piece system with 2 good satellites and good subwoofer. I recently saw a pair of ProAc Super Tablettes that had been totally restored for about 1K, I'd jump on those a... |
