| B&K ST-140 vs 200.1 mono blocks I believe Unsound has provided you with good info. When considering an upgrade it is best to have defined what improvement one is looking for. If you are happy with the 140 and it drives your speakers to your satisfaction then keep it. Enjoy! | |
| B&K ST-140 vs 200.1 mono blocks What are you looking to gain by making the change? | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers You might want to check into a Vincent Audio integrated amp. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass +1 Simao. It seems that for some it is just too easy to take offense to something posted. Almost as if they are looking for that opportunity. Topen, I tend to agree with J135, in that with your budget of $4000 you are in a position to find an amp/... | |
| Sold in one day Generally I am conservative in pricing what i sell so that it moves. Also when I buy knowing I often will sell the item. I have sold many items within the 1st day. In regards to items I would like to buy that are severely overpriced, I will not bo... | |

| record out on integrated amp I must say that I am surprised that the addition of a buffer improved the sonics to that extent. Not questioning your result, just surprised. I am curious: What source (s) are feeding through the buffer? How much gain is afforded by the buffer? Wh... | |

| Rotel DAC Could easily be the cable. Has your friend tried different ones? | |
| How to divide a budget between components Most any allocation can be justified by the one making the expenditure. | |
| How to divide a budget between components I agree that opinions on this will vary widely, but what the heck, I might as well offer another.I believe it depends on budget. For example at budget under 10K I think a balanced approach of ~25% for speakers, amplification, single source, cables... | |
| integrated watts or amp watts Sorry, I meant advisors, not advisees. | |
| downloading music versus cd `s quality As Zd stated, yes CDs can sound as good or better ripped and played through a computer based system than through a disc player. I do both. On your Mac you would need playback software, CDs ripped as AIFF or WAV flies, and a USB DAC. I have found t... | |
| Matching Speakers to Components I dont believe there is a single way around when assembling an audio system. As long as the chosen components are compatible both electrically and sonically toward ones sonic preferences, one can assemble a system source to sink or 'sink to s... | |
| integrated watts or amp watts Thanks, Rlwainwright. However,as i tried to indicate, most of my post was a follow-up to previous advisees. Yes Wolf, paying for excess power at the expense of quality is not a good trade off. |
