| Small musical sub for PMC GB1i 2 channel system? Have a look at the Rel T5 or T7. | |
| Best speaker cables for Creek 5350SE/MA Silver RS6 Kimber 8tc is always a good choice. | |
| How to pick a tubed integrated without hearing one For $1k used there are not a lot of choices, unless you look at some of the Chinese brands, which tend to have pretty poor resale value.The only 2 brands I'd consider at your budget is the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum, or the Primaluna Prologue one o... | |
| looking for advice on bookshelf speakers Cardas Neutral Reference would suit. Might be just slightly over your price point. Cross would be your price point used. Depending on the amp/speaker combo, you might find it a little too full bodied, or maybe just right????The Exposure 3010s2 is ... | |
| looking for advice on bookshelf speakers I'm sensitive to high frequencies as well. Aerial 5's, Spendor and Harbeth are may favourites - you might also consider Cardas cabling. Not sure what your are using now, brands like Kimber, Nordost and Audience can brighten up a system to the poin... | |
| How to allocate my cable dollars. I've been playing with cables for a while, and settled on spending about equal on interconnects and speaker cables, about half that on power cables. I guess if you work it out, that's about equal for each individual cable (since power cables are s... | |
| Musical Fidelity A1 experiences If I'm thinking of the right amp, it's the little 20wpc class A. I owned one for quite a while a number of years ago. Nice sweet sounding piece.All the speakers you mention are not on the 'easy to drive' list. My guess is you are straining the lit... | |
| New REL T7 / T9 vs. older REL Storm III? I own the T7. It uses a 200w classA/B amp. Doesn't play ultra deep (maybe the high 20's), but integrates extremely well - fast, tight. Great value for money. | |
| How much would I benefit from an amp upgrade? I owned the SC25 for a bit. It was probably the worst sounding piece of equipment I've ever owned. Powerful, detailed, artificial, digital, unmusical.I switched to a NAD T765HD and all is well in the world.Just my opinion.I suppose you could exper... | |
| Reflections of another year in Audio I've been fiddling around all year trying to built a decent little set up after having abandoned audio for a while.Let's see, 3 sets of speakers, 4 integrated amps, 3 DACS, cables, well lets not get started on the cables that have come and gone.Th... | |
| Using protective discs under brass footers Just did. My new amp has inverted cone feet. Bought some relatively inexpensive cups - metal with rubber, about 2" round. Purpose was to protect the wood, but low and behold, the midrange opened up, more air etc. Who would have thought. | |
| The right amp for my system Martin Logans are tough to drive, with a wild impedance curve. No receiver is going to drive them properly.You are likely looking at a good 150 - 200wpc dedicated power amp with lots of current. You could use the Pioneer as a pre, but once you've ... | |
| Yet another DAC recommendation request I'm using the Calyx dac. About as good as it gets, as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 Spendor S5E or Totem Arro meet your criteria. | |
| Are Cables Better Than High Grade Speaker Wire? Well, most audiophiles opt for cable that is more expensive than 'off the roll' wires. So presumably they will sound better, or else they would not do it.I personally have quite a bit of money tied up in cables and I certainly feel it is money wel... |
