| Help Please With Choosing An Integrated Or Separates For My Secondary Sysytem Seems you have no need for onboard DAC or phonostage. Therefore I would put my money on a line level only integrated. Music Direct has new NAD326BEEs for sale at $450. Also the NAD 356 here on AG looks good to me. | |
| 8-16 ohm budget speakers OK, I have been using the Contrasts with my ST-70 as driven 1st by a Schiit SYS passive pre and then with my Jolida Fusion tube preamp. The ST-70/Contrast pairing came across a little lean, lacking in bass when driven by the passive pre. I am not ... | |
| Upgrading Integrated Amplifier - Musical Fidelity? There is a used Yahama A-S501 for sale here on AG. Has Phono and digital inputs as well as sub out. | |
| Splitter question Given your situation, I would be inclined to use the SYS. Has the two inputs you need. Would probably use it full open for vinyl playback which likely has a lower voltage output. One could turn the SYS volume down for digital playback such that th... | |
| Volume level for slightly overpowered amp You must also consider the source input voltage. The volume setting that drives the amplifier stage in an integrated amplifier to full rated output will depend on this. With digital sources this often occurs prior to the volume control being 80% o... | |
| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. Glad it worked out for you. | |
| Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates I would not describe my Pathos as 'Digital' bright. I still own the Jolida preamp and BEL 1001 amp. Couldn't part with the BEL. Use the Pathos in a second system, though could have easily remained in the primary. | |
| Wolfson dac The Onkyo 7030 seems to be a very well built (possibly over built) product at it's price point, weight is ~15 lbs. Customer feedback is very positive. If I was looking to purchase a new player under $300 I would probably buy it. I am not in that ... | |
| Integrated under 1k (hopefully 500) for Wharfedale Dentons & Snell Well, if listening at low levels in a small room, a quality 50wpc amp well drive any honestly rated 6-8 ohm speaker having 85-90dB sensitivity. Pairing the right one to a particular speaker to suit one's preferences is the key.I have owned the NAD... | |
| smaller room monitors I think that a Monitor speaker that is flat to 50hz would work great for your situation, near field listening, room that opens up, sub available. What is budget? | |
| Nuforce STA200 I agree with mrdecibel, the SYS is a good way to explore the merits of using a passive. I would probably upgrade from it in my main system. The SYS is not the most basic as it allows two inputs. | |
| Which speakers for a Yamaha A-S2000 I agree Klipsch Heresys are best with tube amplification. | |
| smaller room monitors There are many monitor speakers that work well in a 2.1 music/video system. Sub is great addition with video, and can be with music, depending on room dimensions. In some circumstances you might find that you don't use the sub with music. Much to ... | |
| Phono Pre-Amp stopped working out of no where Could have loosened a solder joint? Just a guess. Can you open it up and check? Is there a fuse in power supply? | |
| Nuforce STA200 Looking forward to your thoughts on the SYS/STA200 direct into your Zu speakers. |
