| Denon to Parasound Though you may not go wrong with either the Parasound or the Odyssey, with the Odyssey you can call the guy up who will make your amp, Klaus Bunge. The conversation alone will be worth it. I was strongly considering the Khartago, however happen ... | |
| Setting a price for Spica TC50s If the surrounds are damaged, they can be replaced. At a cost of ~$30/driver.These speakers, as is, are probably only worth $150, and only to one who already owns a pair and wants backup parts, or one who wishes to recondition. | |
| Good options for monitor Audio sliver line Have you looked into the Marantz integrated amps? The PM8005 ($1200 retail) might be a good choice for you. Has pre out for driving subs. Also 2 sets of speaker binding posts. The PM7005 ($1000 retail) has built in DAC. | |
| Setting a price for Spica TC50s Try tightening the screws for the drivers. May be the source of the buzz. I have seen these for sale on AG’s marketplace. Don’t remember asking price. | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Donzi, I think you heard me correctly. You are in a situation where you have the potential for a great system, however currently short of funds. Don’t panic, Buy a used preamp that can be sold when you upgrade. After all you can’t tell what you h... | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? OK, I finally decided to chime in:About 25% each on; speakers, Amp/pre, DAC & USB converter, cables. Everything bought at discount, hence percentage does’nt reflect retail price. | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? I can’t at the moment think of a $500 preamp that I would pair with the Bryston amp to drive the 3.6s. Many audiophiles think the preamp to be the heart of a system, having greater influence on the sound of a system than the amplifier. You have p... | |
| Looking for a $800 - $1500 used high powered integrated with sub outs Check out NAD offerings. | |
| Cheap Tube amp I have the Jolida Fusion Tube Preamp and think it is wonderful. Jolida equipment is not cheap, just inexpensive and great value. | |
| I read this on another site My BEL 1001 MK5 only makes an impression when in use, otherwise easy to overlook. The rack mount version, pretty plain looking. | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie In as much as I think my 2-channel system has a very holographic soundstage with music. There is however something in the coding of some movie soundtracks that expands that experience. For example, I was watching a movie scene where the actors ... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie I am of the opinion that, in less one has a dedicated room for establishment of a home theater, and one is primarily interested in a music system that in addition is meant to augment video, then a 2 channel system is best. Might include a subwoofe... | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh There are some products from the 60’s that sell for more than their original asking price; Dynaco ST-70 and PAS-3 Pre, Marantz 8 and 9, Mac tube amps, AR 3a speakers, as some examples. I have a ST-70 and will spend more than it’s original retail p... | |
| 50 hours of research = 1 amp for Totem Sttaf mrmittens, I can’t advise on purchase between the PrimaLuna and Rogue. However, my dealer friend wants to sell his Cronus Magnum. It is the original model, ~5 years old, KT88 power tubes. With a different cover it can take the KT120 tubes. The cov... | |
| I read this on another site For a short time, just to see how the NAD would drive my Esoteric MG10s, I replaced my Jolida Fusion/BEL 1001MK5 pre/amp combo with the NAD 526 BEE ($550 retail) and was impressed with how it performed.Room is ~15x12. |
