| Rogers High Fidelity Integrated amplifiers I must say when I was considering going to an integrated tube amp I had considered the 65-V2. Decided to play with a tube pre with with tube and SS amplifier. Should I return to an integrated this one would be on my short list. | |
| [Tube Preamp][Need Help]Could you suggest a tube preamp matched with a SS AMP? With a budget of 1K, the fact that your amp has low input impedance, and those speakers are not a difficult load I must also agree that an integrated amplifier makes for a good choice. As one possible, the Vincent SV-500 is a hybrid, having tube... | |
| Speakers for daughter Which of the speakers under consideration can she audition? Given the 50wpc amplifier I would consider those that are easiest to drive impedance wise. | |
| Cheap $88 Sony SS-CS5 Speakers - Awesome @reubent That ARC integrated is a nice amp. Likely gets the most from the Sony speakers. Got me to thinking about a somewhat unrelated subject regarding persons just getting into audio on a restricted budget. My advice is to purchase a quality 5... | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? @decooney Well, I own a n Aric Audio Special Pre with 6SN7 tubes. I have paired it with both the XA25 and the Aric Transcend Amplifier driving Tannoy Sterlings. Great Preamp in both cases. With the Sterlings I believe I like the tube amp best. | |
| Raven Audio and Beyond... I believe you made a good choice. The Dynaudio stand mount speakers play best with solid state amplification that can drive 4 ohm loads. Should you find yourself with a speaker that is a true 8 ohm, and 90+dB sensitive then you can consider tube a... | |
| your first system- Well, my first audio device was a transistor radio purchased in 1960. I was 11 years old. My father co-signed for a loan at the JC Penneys store. Had to use my parents console stereo throughout Jr high and high school. First real system was pu... | |
| Budget integrated amp needed Congrats on the 316BEE. | |
| China built tube amps Congrats on your purchase. I once owned the Jolida Fusion preamp and found it to be a great buy. | |
| 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 ... |
