| Best $500-$700 amp/preamp or integrated Thank you for the correction, you are right it's the 1062, sorry. I am expecting a 1072 cd player tomorrow to play with as my potential replacement player. My confusion.I haven't heard the Roksan Kandy but the British hi fi mags just did a test wi... | |
| Best $500-$700 amp/preamp or integrated The new Rotel RA 1072 is supposed to be a great piece for the money. A great option used is the Primare A20MKI or i20 as it is now called. BTW: If the Bryston B60 sounded harsh I'd look at what else was in the system as it is a very refined soundi... | |
| Kimber 8TC with Energy Connoisseur C-9s? Not really sure what the "low end" spectrum means. 8TC is one of my favorite cables and I've used in with a number of systems with very good results. You may find that 4TC works pretty well for your short length also. I have no issues at all using... | |
| Best CDP under $1000 for Roksan Caspian Amp? ntnt | |
| beware ipod Beware anything that is electronic. Sometimes things do just go bad. I have had two 15g iPods for about 6 months now after owning a 10g I sold. Not a single issue and they are best sounding MP3 and formatted player I have used, while also giving m... | |
| Good amp for JM Lab Daline 3.1 Depends on your budget or course but there are many options as the Dalines sound good with tubes and solid state. They are very nice sounding speakers. Do you want an integrated amp or separates? They are efficient at 89DB so power should not be a... | |
| LK-85 vs LK-140 for Aktiv w/ Keilith I have two LK-85s running Aktiv Katans and its everything I could want given my budget. I haven't wanted more power but I am also using a REL sub. The Aktiv cards will allow much more efficient use of the amplifier so using two LK-85s have plenty ... | |
| Real "Bookshelf" speaker 4 bookshelf or wall-mount Linn Kans, Katans or Tukans will work well for your application and are very musical speakers. | |
| Too much gain on Audio Research LS9 If I rememeber correctly, it can easily be adjusted internaly. I have vever done it but it seems I recall there being a set of jumpers to change. | |
| Thoughts on the best "budget" amp/preamp combo? Hey, its all just advice based on my years of experience of trial and error. I certainly wouldn't want to come across as a know it all when I offer advice.I may have offended with sensitive cable difference talk it seems. A blanket amount of $200 ... | |
| Thoughts on the best "budget" amp/preamp combo? At that price and also considering you would need a decent cable of around $200 used to connect the two, I would seriously consider going to an integrated. An integrated such as the Primare A30.1, Plinius 8100/8150i would probably best most preamp... | |
| Energy ESM-2 Anyone else remember them? I had a pair. The best speakers I had owned up to that time 1989 I think. I really enjoyed them for about 3 or 4 years. I still have the receipt. Paid $309/pr at the Happy Medium in Madison Wi. | |
| Dynaudio Audience 52 or Quad 12L? I think you could be very happy with either speaker. Both are very nice. Another I highly recommend is the Linn Katan.I have owned the 12L and the Audience 50. I didn't care for the occasional treble glare in the 50s but that may be resolved in th... | |
| friend is looking for good $800-$1200 cd player The Linn Genki is superb and right in the ballpark at around $900 used. | |
| What used speakers would you buy under $600? 1. Linn Katan2. Spendor S3/53. Quad 12L4. GR Research Paradox 1All used at around $600, maybe more $ for the Katan. I've owned em all and prefer the Katans over any including the Totem 1 sigs and Arro. |
