| What's a good amp to pair with SF Grd Piano Home Plinius SA100Plinius SA250 is better.For the Lower budget you should go for Bryston 4b-st or sst. | |
| 2000 for turntable and arm..... I stay with my Michell Gyro SE/Incognito RB300. A great combo for $2000 but you'll probably have to search for used to fit into the budget. Hook it up with Benz Glider that have literally any suitable output for any descent phono stage and finally... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction here we go: we ain't talkin' here 'bout differences in cables or power cords. we're talking about burn-in or break-in which in reality more issue of mentality and adoptation rather than any physical proccess involved. i read a commets about "resid... | |
| Help me with preamp choice. OOOPS!!! I forgot to mention Adcom GFP750. Ivanj, right on!Don't spend too much on cables for passive preamps. AudioQuest DiamondBlack tended to work the best with passives. You can also get VanDenHul Type2. I've never heard F.T. audio but in gene... | |
| Help me with preamp choice. I believe that you should be OK with passive preamplifier. In my case I tried lots of preamps bellow $1500 but was only successful with passive setup with slight loss of dynamics but with great gain of transperency and naturality. | |
| MC Vs MM - apologize for the stupid question let me make more precise corrections to the above answers.good mc cartridge costs much more than good mm. there is a point that for the certain budget($150...400) the mm cartridges are much better than mc. | |
| Bryston B60 or old 3B + .5B I was not impressed from the B60's performance: Extra-bright and coloured. It's far away from music. Creek 5330 is the tru-way to get music for the same buck. Now I want(just for the sake of the hobby) to give a try to listen to Unison Research Un... | |
| Help me with preamp choice. A descent preamp that do not colour the signal cannot be cheaper than $2k even used. The only way to get a great uncoloured budget performance is to get a passive preamp that will literally smoke anything under $2k. By getting an active preamp you... | |

| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Is there any other proof that burn-in break-in improves the components and/or cables other than voodoo or act-of-God kinda-stuff??What is the physical internal proccess there that even dealers believe but don't understand realy what's going on? | |
| Creek 5350 "U" bars Mbhcid, soldering is not the best solution even sonically, especially if you want to use this amp as power amp or preamp only later-on. | |

| Why would 1 SS monoblock run hotter than other? the hot one is probably clipping and needs to be serviced. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction FACT: If equipment sounds like $HIT out from the box it will never sound like HONEY even after recommended 300 or N00 hours. Usually if you upgrade a component or a few it should sound better to YOUR ears no-matter if you get it NIB or used.FICTIO... | |
| Orchestral brass and fanfare - analysis of system Judit, it's right-on Vandys3a with Pass X-350 will certainly handle this situation much better. Vandys3a have one of the best top-end extention among the speakers of its class and higher. |
