| cable advice Given that this is a new system, for someone possibly not haven owned a quality system prior, I think I would start with budget cables. She could then develop an ear for her system while it is breaking in and, in the mean time getting accustomed t... | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 As an update I have contacted Ralph (Atmosphere) and intend to ship him the amp for refurbishment. When I have this done and try out the amp I will provide my thoughts. Thanks to all! | |
| Klipsch Heresy? Crazy to consider? I have heard the Dynaudio X12s and think them wonderful. They were driven by a 120 wpc SS Simaudio integrated and do like power. If the Prima Luna drives them to your liking in your small room and you only are looking for deeper bass then I would ... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Yea, I believe that by the 90s the foam surrounds were abandoned for better materiel, at least in most speakers. | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 In defense of MentalÂs statement of 1/24, he was referencing expensive tweeks. I believe any system benefits from ÂtweekingÂ, which I see as a response to individual preference and system environment. However, I could not justify the use of exp... | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? I have been following this post, avoiding comment due to agreement with the early posts suggesting that Audiolover not worry about the situation as It sounds great as it is.However I do not agree that the generated discussion was Utter nonsense... | |
| Simplifying my 2.1 living room setup I believe you can pick up a Marantz 5004 which has been replaced by the 5005. It comes highly recommended in its price range and has a phonostage. Should be able to find one under $350. | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs Several speakers were recommended that have not heard, and therefore cant comment on. That said, I owned a pair of Sound Dynamic 300ti for 15 years and they are a great speaker and a great deal if one could buy a pair in good condition for under ... | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? I believe the question should be Can it sound better? I believe it can, however it often doesnt. For me it is not worth the cost as I can purchase several CDs for the cost of a Hirez download. | |
| Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe? Truly liked this thread. Much great advice given by those who know via experience. Have heard both amps, however never owned either due to budget constraints at the time. | |
| Help with a secondary system My situation is much like yours. I have primary system in a dedicated room in the basement and a secondary one augmenting video and providing background music in the living room. I own a pair of the Pioneer speakers and believe them to be quite go... | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs +1, Yogiboy. | |
| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre Been following your post. Good to hear a success story! Congrats. | |
| System upgrade advice Vjb, I think that Zd provided a very good response to my latest post. I also agree that it is likely the Paradigms are not to your liking, as they are bright with an 'aggressive tweeter. I owned the Studio 20s however had them mated to a Vincent ... | |
| Help with speaker cable under $500 for new system I also agree with ZD on this. Let your system break in and take time to get to know it. Then try cables. Congrats on the new system! |
