Budget integrated amp needed I +whatever the Yamaha A-s301. The NAD 316BEE can be found used at your budget. I am familiar with both and can recommend. | |
Power Cable Suggestions - Budget In that case you could try plugging the amp into one outlet and a power strip into the other. Get a power strip with IEC input so you could use power cord of your preference. | |
Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier @jay73 Well, in November I purchased an Aric Audio Transcend tube amplifier and have been listening to it since. Haven't spent much time with the XA25 over the summer and fall. Will be moving my system into another room shortly and will get back... | |
Need sensitive bass situation Well I don't have your issue with my neighbor's daughter, but I would surly like to listen to those Dadaelus speakers. | |
Why spend more than $25 per piece of equipment on vibration reduction? I find it interesting that when many describe what they use for isolation never mention what is the foundation for their system. Concrete or subfloor? | |
Power Cable Suggestions - Budget Adhering to the question posed, I would try running your amp directly into an outlet. I am using Pangea AC14se with my pre and source equipment. Likely not the best one could do but makes an improvement over stock. Any chance of isolating the ... | |

Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I own a Pass XA25 and it has more than enough power to drive my Sterlings. | |
Can one have too many tube components in a system? @oldhvymec I loved that response! Most of those that use multiple of tube components know what they are doing. I am still exploring. | |
Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k? For under $1000 I also think the Schiit Freya+ to be a good option. Otherwise used is a great way to go. | |
Can one have too many tube components in a system? I should add that I have a system with tube DAC tube pre, and tube amp. My speakers are 91dB, not overly sensitive. | |
Can one have too many tube components in a system? With recognition that I am not the most experienced with the proposed scenario, I have come to learn that having compatible gain across all components in the system is always a concern and I would agree that this can be even more critical with tub... | |
Raven Audio and Beyond... You have nice speakers. They do best with more power than the Raven delivers. I know the 14s are an easier drive than the 12s were but still they are voice with solid state. They are surly capable of responding to an amp upgrade. If you are lookin... | |
Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 Vs PSB Alpha P5 @milpai Yes use of a more traditional integrated open up possibilities, speaker wise and opportunities for a higher wattage integrated. Problem with stand mounts is that many of the best ones at reasonable prices do drop below 4ohms in the bass r... |
