| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace “is a Sunfire pre/pro an option to match your Amp?Happy Listening!”Yes, except I want one with a remote, which is about as easy as finding a unicorn. I should have grabbed one years ago when they were going for $800. | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Thank you for the ideas. I have decided for the moment I am going to focus on getting the room to sound good, then go from there to either trying a Schiit Freya or upgrading my bifrost to a gungnir. | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Leaning towards the Freya, but also eyeballing the Cary SL-100, which has a tape loop and trigger to turn everything on. Concerned about the amount of gain though as the Cary has 26db of gain and 63db of volume adjustment. As is I don’t hit unit... | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Kali,You must have a special 750, as mine does not have phono stage (nor do I believe it was ever an option). | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at the hoppesbrain and liked his stuff. He is not taking new orders and had a year long waiting list before that. I am about the world’s worst at soddering, so won’t try it myself as damage is almost inevita... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave In my glance, I noticed that nobody mention SPL levels. Just because a speaker can go down to 30hz, does not mean it can do so with any authority or cleanly at listening levels. I can build a 5 1/4" subwoofer that will go down to 20hz, but it will... | |
| Help with used "rock" speakers under 4K The Aerials are nice speakers and worth listening to. I would also suggest you listen to the Vandersteen 3A sigs. They will, with power behind them move a lot of air. I tried a pair as an alternative to my Maggie 2.7s and they moved a lot of air. ... | |
| Revel Salon vs Vandersteen 5A ivrobinson,My reference to the Revel's being an "accurate" speaker refers to the type of sound it has, very flat and lifeless when I have heard it. You ask then can an inaccurate speaker sound good? That depends, how are you measuring?Take the Rev... | |
| Revel Salon vs Vandersteen 5A I have heard both the original Revel's powered by all Levinson and Proceed gear (helped set up), as well as the Vandersteens. For me, it would be a no brainer for the 5A. The Revels always sounded like what most people term a very "accurate" speak... | |
| what's better Pradigm or Nht Two different sounding speakers. You really have to listen to both to see which you like. | |
| What amplifier should I get with Mag 3.6? I went through a few amps before I hit nirvana at my budget by accident. I had an Adcom GFA-5500 that I sent to Stan Warren to me modified and purchased a used Sunfire Stereo Amplifier to use until the Adcom came back. The Sunfire is wonderful wit... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 James,I don't think you have ever taken a serious look at Maggies. If you had, you would know that they have been using a ribbon tweeter on their high end speakers for more than 30 years (see the MG-III, MG-IIIA, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, Tymphani, MG-20, MG... | |
| dbx Home Speakers The DBX's sold by DAK were not the same as the earlier soundfields sold through dealers. Different drivers and designs. The Soundfields were really amazing, they were designed to be placed against the wall, and they maintained a solid image as lon... | |
| JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5 Personally, I would go for the pair of F110s. Two subwoofers are far more accurate than one subwoofer because of the manner in which they energize the room. While Missioncooney likes his REL's, I have been very unimpressed with them when I have he... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's DNE, when you say the Pass is really a 250watt amp disguised as a 150 watt amp, that is a bit misleading. Most well designed high end amps will handily exceed their rated output by 1-2db's, the amount of out performance you claim for the Pass. I t... |
