| step inside Klipsch fans and fanatics Joe, I have not yet made comparison of the Klipsch to the B&W indoors. I have listened to them after breakin outdoors and find them to have a bit of an edge in the upper mids and treble. I do believe your Yaqin amp to be capable of driving the... | |
| NAD C 316BEE vs. NAD D 3020 Based on your other thread you are using an analog front end (TT & phonostage) therefore I think the 316BEE to be a better fit. | |
| NAD C 316BEE vs. NAD D 3020 These two NAD amps are quite different. The D3020 is a class D amp and includes a DAC. The C316BEE is class A/B and is a line level integrated only (no DAC) however has more analog inputs. Choice would depend on ones needs. Several reviews are ava... | |
| Phono Stage for Marantz 5009? +1 paraneer. In addition, both cartridge and speaker, as transducers, have much to do with the character of the sound one hears from their system. Are the new speakers less bright, maybe provide more warmth, than the prior ones? | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP +1 veroman. I thought I had posted similar thoughts yesterday. Must have not pushed the post button. A quality 40-50wpc SS amp would best suit your needs and budget. | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? Makes sense when considering the power/price ratio and that many SS amps benefit in warmth and bloom from tube pre-amplification When budget is not a major consideration, then maybe not so much. | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP Tube rolling refers to the practice of replacing tubes with different ones to 'tune' a product to ones sonic liking. To roll tubes in an all tube integrated amp would cost at least 1/2 your integrated amp budget. Tube amplifiers are more expensive... | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP Have you had a chance to hear the Dali's compared to the Klipsch's? Which speaker do you like the best? The NAD 316BEE is a good budget SS amp that would serve the Dali's well. Could be bought new within your budget. A factory refurbished one is ... | |
| Got an Adcom 5300 to power my Vandies and MA Silver 6's... Now What? I own a Schiit SYS. Worth trying one out at ~$50. Use short interconnects (0.5 M). | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP +1 helomech. Check out Music Direct. I like the Marantz 6005 recommendation. Don't know if $400 will buy one however. | |
| Got an Adcom 5300 to power my Vandies and MA Silver 6's... Now What? As jafant stated, use the Sony as pre for now. Take your time to best identify your needs and the marketplace.If in need of a DAC for computer audio, one option I use in a 2nd system is a HRT Music Streamer USB DAC (which can be found for ~$80) wi... | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP If you want tubes I like Wolf's recommendation, check out Jolida. Otherwise I believe that SS options may be a better fit budget wise. What are you willing to spend on an integrated? | |
| Advice for Speakers to mate with McCormack DNA .5 I agree with unsound. I use a pair of 2-way monitors (Esoteric MG 10s) in a room very close to your room in HxWxD. I use a BEL 1001 MKV with a Jolida Fusion tube pre. Though I don't have the bottom octave, the bass I am presented with is very tigh... | |
| Looking for a new pre-amp!! Wayne, I have not owned the SA-31. I have owned the Vincent 226 integrated and thought it outstanding for it's price class. Great soundstage with good resolution, not overly analytical. Convinced me to stick with the tube pre/SS amp concept. I thi... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Yes, I believe the use of short interconnects to be advantageous with the NAD 326BEE. I use 0.5M AQ Diamondbacks on mine. |
