| Best used integrated under $5k Thanks guys. Really appreciate all the inputs. I have found a dealer that has Luxman, Hegel, PrimaLuna & Simaudio. So feels like a good place to compare these. Also planning to visit 2nd place to compare Naim, Hegel, Pass, Audio Research. Whil... | |
| Best used integrated under $5k djones51 and dtximages - thank you for pointing me to Anthem. It wasn’t on my radar. While I am was originally looking at brands that have more of an audio heritage, makes sense to look at Anthem too. Djones51 - in my post yesterday I did thank ev... | |

| Best used integrated under $5k Will look at PrimaLuna , Ayre and Moon too. BTW I was talking to folks at Wilson. They pointed to Pass, Hegel and Luxman. | |
| Best used integrated under $5k Corelli, fair point. Hopefully the following will add some value to the exchange:Here is the type of sound I like:1. A tad bit warm while still having a lot of punch (nothing muddled about it)2. Vocals (Diana Krall, John Mayer etc) have a level of... | |
| Best used integrated under $5k Jjss49 - not sure why you say H360 doesn’t have a DAC. It does. However I will have to get a separate phone stage with it. While I am planning to use this with my TT, it’s nice to have the flexibility to stream too. However none of these units are... | |
| Turntable and amp combination Hey guysa little bit of change in plans. As for TT, thinking of UltraDeck and Technics 1200GR now. Have read all of the previous threads now. They generally end with something like -poster says “ UltraDeck is more laid back and Technics is more ... | |
| Turntable and amp combination Thanks guys. I feel like I have a good amount of guidance here. Turntable candidates (increasing price)1. Project Espirit2. Marantz TT 15S13. Technics SL1200GRAmp Candidates1. Marantz PM7000N2. Cambridge Audio CX813. Parasound Halo IntegratedAs fo... | |

| Best used speakers under $10000 Finally listened to A3 today. Will add my notes shortly. Happy new year everyone. | |
| Compact DAC + Amp Thanks guys. Tried Simaudio Moon 240i today. I think I liked the sound of Naim Atom better with Kanta 2. But on Wilson Sabrina I liked 240i better than McIntosh 252. | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 Hey guyssorry for going silent. Between the move to NYC and settling in here, last couple of months have been very hectic. So finally resumed the auditioning and tried Kanta 2 and Sabrina. To to recap what all I have tried so farIn AU1. Focal Sopr... | |
| Compact DAC + Amp Thank you. I guess other options would be Sim 240i and Rega Elex R, though their footprint becomes larger. Of the discontinued Naim models, what would be a great buy? | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 Thank you everyone. Top two two contenders seem to be Hegel H360 and Luxman L590, followed by Accuphase and BAT. I will look into those two and may even try all 4. | |
