| Rogue Audio vs Vincent Audio I once owned a Vincent SV-226 and thought it to be a very good integrated. Authoritative bass, smooth articulate mids and treble. Wish I had never sold it. I have not heard the SV-500. If needing a phonostage and your Vincent plays well with your... | |
| I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp Eag618, In my main system I also use a tube pre (Jolida Fusion) with a SS amp (BEL 1001 MK5). I also have (had) several Schiit products in house (headphone amps, DACs). So I agree with your approach with amplification and the value of Schiit produ... | |
| I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp Given eag618's response to MrD's question, with Klipsch in a small room I would think tube amplification to be ideal. With a budget of $2000 maybe a used PrimaLuna? | |
| can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp +1 on Schiit Loki. Can be used as described by yogi or kalali. | |
| SACD Multichannel player - $400 budget Old thread, however I own the yamaha BD-S681. I agree it is a great option below the $500 price point. I do not use it multichannel however. | |
| Worth of current system Al, yes I had to look up 'opprobrium'. My main system retailed at ~15K, probably have ~$7500 in it.Put together for placement in a small (12x15') dedicated room treated with DIY acoustic panels. | |
| Best sound in old late 70s early 80s receivers My 1st component based system consisted of a Dual 2019 TT w Sure V15 type II cartridge, Sansui Au-555 integrated, and Pioneer C63DX speakers. Also had a Teak 4010S reel to reel. Put together summer of 1970 on Okinawa. | |
| B&k EX4420 So the diode burnt out. I would not worry about it. I once owned the B&K ST-140, great amp. | |
| Music lover or audiophile? Addendum: Not to love music also seems senseless. | |
| Music lover or audiophile? Few music lovers are audiophiles. To be an audiophile and not a music lover seems senseless. | |
| R2R Dac choices. 99% of my music is CD based, either as disc or AIFF file. I am interested in both the Orchid and the Mirror Audio. I use a tube preamp however. | |
| Vincent Audio tube preamp SA-T7 & SP-332 power amp I believe the tubes are in the amps driver stage. The amp is solid state, running class A for the first 10 watts. I owned a Vincent 226 MK integrated and wish I never sold it. | |
| Budget? Again, what is the room size? It is easier to purchase stand mounts used (shipping). Can be more easily sold (again, shipping). | |
| Proac Tablette 10 Signature At your budget I would go with an integrated. If you would consider used, maybe a Vincent Audio SV 236 or a Pathos Model One MK3. Both are hybrids with tube pre and SS amp, smooth sounding. | |
| Need advice on what amp to get under a budget. What sources are you using?In addition to the aforementioned, I can recommend the NAD 326BEE (50wpc) and Yahama A-S701 or 801(both having phonostage and digital inputs and provide 100wpc, the 801 has additional USB digital in). The Odyssey in not ... |
