| Dynaudio Sapphire - Amplifier matching "Is the power rating of the AVM´s sufficient to take the best out of the Dynaudios? "No they are not. The Dynaudio sapphires are incredible speakers but you will never know unless you feed them enough clean power. Dynaudios need a lot of power, al... | |
| Looking At CD Players Why are you needing to add a CD player when the OPPO 105 is one of the best universal players (it plays cd’s) ever made! And it has balanced audio outs already, connected to dual saber dacs! You cant get a better player unless you spend well over ... | |
| Considering stepping into streaming absolute newbie to it . OLESCHOOL, I would keep the Bel Canto DAC and add a streamer that has no dac, of course connection will be key. Does the Bel Canto have a USB AUDIO 2.0 Input? Its not mandatory, you can use RCA digital as well. The Aurender X100L ($2500 range) is ... | |
| Turntable for a Newbie! If I were the OP I would get a REGA P6 and be done with it! Matt | |
| Turntable " Myself? I just hate having to get up every twenty minutes to flip the record or put on a new one (PLUS cleaning, tick&pops, storage, etc.). Good luck. "And dont forget about all the new 45’s that only run for 10 minutes! Seriously though, Di... | |
| Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment? Not here! Craigslist maybe??? | |
| Dynaudio Focus XD First off these are completely different speakers. I think the best deal here is the KEF though, the KEF speakers when set up properly will really make you smile. It might take a better Dynaudio speaker to compete. At $2500 new the KEFs are a real... | |

| Phono Pre Upgrade from Parasound JC-3? Manley Steelhead= RCA only! I highly recommend if your amp has RCA inputs you should give this unit a try. It will deliver what your looking for balanced or not. | |

"SOMEBODY fill me in why knowledgeable people generate into nastiness in discussions..."We are giving advice for free, we don’t charge a consulting fee for all this knowledge, in fact its the sparring and blatant rudeness that pays US back in spad... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? "I wonder if there are softer sounding class D amps "Not gonna happen, I would suggest to swap the pre amp for a tube based model, like one from Audio Research or Modwright Industries or Manley Labs, this will inject some much needed warmth and be... | |
| Biwiring connections through Mcintosh Mc7100 O man I looked at the amp connections and I was thinking of the 5 way post, but you have gold plated block connections. Adapters! lol. | |
| Good Pre-Amps For McIntosh I use a MC352 and I have gone through several pre amps, here I will recommend two tube based because tubes will inject some real palpable sound with texture and awesome color with beauty of tone. The Manley Labs 300B would be my first choice. Has ... | |
| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? Rega Tables have a great jump factor, lively sound, the kind that makes you want to move something even if you dont dance. However, you will have to lift the platter and manually change speeds if you switch to a 45 or vise versa. Also, Rega dosent... |
