| Recievers, Pre amps and amps. As yogi said, if you don't need a tuner purchase an integrated amp (preamp + amp in single chassis) that includes internal phonostage. I would purchase a more recent model used over a vintage one however. | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Moskaudio, am I to understand that you are now considering replacing both the speakers and the amp and going to a 2 channel system? If so I would suggest that you search out the desired speaker first, pair them to your Rotel stereo amp, which seem... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Don't worry about the 300 watt rating on the speakers. That is a max level and no indication of what is needed to drive them in a particular sized room. If you can attain the volume levels desired and are happy with your amp/speaker combo then enjoy. | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. There are some older audio video receivers that have phonostages. Does yours? There would be a pair or input RCAs labeled phono and a grounding post nearby on the back if so. If not you will need a separate phonostage (phono preamplifier). Phonost... | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. Check out the Audio Technica PL120 TT. Cost about $270. A good most basic budget unit. Has a built in phonostage, however one that could be easily beat with an outboard one. Comes with the AT95E cartridge. Schiit Audio makes a quality budget movin... | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. So basically your are looking for speakers to finish your 7.1 surround system, and wishing to add a TT as an alternate source.Given you are happy with the system as is, continue to look for those speakers that match well with the L,R and center on... | |
| Digital inputs ....is one really better than another? The Audiophileo2 has a AES/EBU output that attaches directly to the BDA-1 AES/EBU input. Also comes with adapter that allows connection to RCA coax. | |
| Digital inputs ....is one really better than another? Rockyboy, If I were considering a DAC upgrade over my BDA-1, I would also be considering the Lampizator line of DACS. I have heard elsewhere that the AES/EBU interface is superior. I but would like to add that I use a Audiophileo2 connected to my ... | |
| Jolida Fusion Preamp I own a stock Jolida with the exception that I replaced the original tubes with new production Mullards. In talking to Jolida, they recommend mods based on the owner knowing the nature of sonic change he/she is seeking I suggest that one own the s... | |
| Jolida Fusion Preamp Guidance please Underwood Hifi has the Fusion/DAC on sale for $599. Look them up online. I have purchased from them and they are good to deal with. Can't help to think that it wouldn't prove superior to a AVR as a preamplifier. | |
| Jolida Fusion Preamp Guidance please I own the Fusion preamp and think it a fine preamp at it's price. I am not familiar with the DAC/pre. I suggest that you compare the two preamps on the Jolida website, and then call Jolida and ask as to how each might best fit in your system. | |
| Flooring advice on basement listening room. Sonic considerations only, assuming a concrete floor, I feel carpet and pad is best. Basement water issues can be a concern due to leakage through walls or floor, plumbing leaks. | |
| Headphones to Improve Upon AKG-Q701s I have recently purchased the HiFiMan 400s headphones to serve as an introduction to Planer Magnetics. Soundstaging, imaging and resolution has improved over the AKG 701Qs. I will likely upgrade beyond these at some point. Now I am looking for a ... | |
| Entering the world of audio, help with first setup- speakers to pair with Peachtree 220SE Lots of B & M stores in your region. Take your Peachtree with your and audition some speakers. | |
| Integrated or Receiver? Yea, within your budget or beyond you are wise to stick to an integrated. So many great ones available today and you already own a tuner. If you are concerned that the Yamaha may be too bright, the Marantz may prove more to your liking. The models... |
