| 2 channel amp sound VS. HT amp sound Holding off until the move and using what you have seems logical. I believe the idea of purchasing a used integrated is a good one. The older Marantz PM800x series are very good products and contain a phonostage. You could also look for a HRT Musi... | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers Hit the button to fast.... Congrats on your upgrade and hope you hear beyond your expectations. | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers After retirement I replaced my primary system completely. Except for the TT which I purchased in 1983. | |
| And B&K owners here? As my system now resides in a bedroom, I also prefer 2-way monitors. Currently a pair of Esoteric MG 10s.I upgraded my B&K ST140/Pro10 to a Vincent integrated then went separates. Currently using a BEL 1001 MK5 SS amp and Jolida Fusion tube pr... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k Provided that the speakers have been determined to be 'the ones' for ones taste and room, I do not have a problem pairing a $1500 speaker to a $2500 integrated amplifier (or visa versa for that matter, though i generally am less inclined to advise... | |
| Finally absolutely satisfied with my system Always good to hear a positive story. Congrats on your achievement. | |
| Need Some Answers Building My First Home Audio System, and using Cornwalls As Lou stated, bare wire is fine, just be careful that all wire remains under screw. Wrap wire in direction that screw turns to tighten. You can also fine spades the correct size.For bananas I purchased these: "Gold plated copper spade/Banana fork... | |
| DAC for CD transport I am considering the Cambridge CXC myself. Use computer audio however still like to spin discs at times. | |
| And B&K owners here? Thanks Lou. I was very proud of that system for the money I had in it. I still own the Sonograph TT. It was my only source as I did not jump into digital until the year 2000, never thought early digital sounded as good as vinyl at that time. Now m... | |
| And B&K owners here? Back in 1985 I put together a system consisting of Sonographe SG3 TT w/ Sumiko MMT arm, Tasliman cartridge; B&K ST-140 and Pro10 pre; Vandersteen 2s (1978 models). Enjoyed it for about 8 years then replaced the Vandys with Sound Dynamics STi ... | |

| Looking to build a system for under $5k Joe, Yes soundstaging and imaging are very important to me also. My system resides in a bedroom (15x12x8 feet) and puts me front row center stage in a jazz club. Were you listening in rooms close to the size of yours? Thanks for the update. | |
| Are USB-SPDIF's relevant with today's DAC USB technology? I agree that upgrading beyond the HiFace for a PS DLIII is probably not a wise investment. I used this combination in the past. Then went to a Bryston BDA-1 with Audiophilleo 2 W/Pure Power. That was 4 years ago and I still use it today. Recentl... | |
| Older DAC connection to my Macbook?? I would go with a USB/SPDIF converter. I have used many with older DACs. Use an Audiophileo 2 with Pure Power power supply. They come up used here on AG. Wiith the added power supply probably run ~$500-$600. In the interim you might get a Music Fi... | |
| And B&K owners here? Loved my B&K ST-140! Bought it n 1985 and sold it here on AG in 2012. If I had it now I would consider talking to Musical Concepts regarding a refurbish and/or mod. |
