| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Dayton Audio class D amplifier - for less than $100 it punched a crazy sound! Amari LP10 turntable - around $500 in China. Very very good at this price. Dali Zensor 1 speakers. Surprisingly fantastic entry level speakers. Pure Avalon tabletop r... | |
| 4 speakers in a large room @paradisecom , that’s a simple solution that might work in this particular space. I’ll try that arrangement. | |
| 4 speakers in a large room Thank you all for the suggestions. The house is still under construction and I am planning ahead. But I think I can try both methods and then choose what I prefer - the A+B from one amplifier or the way Dekay suggests. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. I’ve heard many models from Line Magnetic paired with many different speakers; and I owned the big LM219 (predecessor of your 845) and tried it with some different speakers as well. The best results were always achieved with high efficiency speake... | |
| Denon DL103 vs Goldring 1042 on a Spacedeck Nedhogan, my apologies for this late response. I've been so busy for the past two years, that I simply don't have time to follow the discussions - or even worst, I don't have opportunities to enjoy my audio systems. My beloved turntable is stored ... | |
| Louis Chochos from Omega Speaker Systems I own both brands, Omega and Zu.Super 7 monitors from Omega and Omen Def from Zu. Very different speakers for different rooms/purposes. The Omegas are located in a small intimate den for quiet listening. The Zus are in a party room to listen to ve... | |
| Cayin A 300B I asked King Ip about that. His answer is Yes, you can use those tubes (274B and 5U4). | |
| Cayin A 300B You're welcome. By the way, I found the comment from the user toro3, here in Audiogon, regarding tube rolling. Looking at his KA-101 I saw a different rectifier tube. When I asked about it, this was his answer:"...that’s the smooth black plate RCA... | |
| Cayin A 300B T_ramey,I never tried to bypass it because I don't have a decent preamplifier. My Kingko always worked as integrated. But according to King Ip, you will get better results if you use a good preamplifier; the preamp section of the KA-101 is not as ... | |
| Cayin A 300B I totally forgot about this thread, but since Mozartfan revived it, here goes my follow up:Some time after I started this thread, I went to audition the Cayin 300B. Didn't like it. Like all Cayin products, the amplifier was gorgeous and very well ... | |
| Different systems playing same music simultaneously Meanwhile I did a short research and it seems the most effective devices for what I need (at a reduced price) are the Chromecast Audio, the Dayton Audio Wave Link and similar products. | |
| Different systems playing same music simultaneously Thank you for the suggestions. I see some interesting solutions...What I have right now is a bunch of old style amplifiers. Some solid state, some tubes. No streamers, no modern receivers/amplifiers with network connectivity.So I'd like to try som... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? For a very honest product, within the UK, try Temple Audio from around Manchester. I did a similar research one year ago and considering my limited budget I ordered a pair of their monoblocks. I'm very satisfied and don't feel the hitch to change.... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I never heard the Rega nor the Technics, but I own a very very old Spacedeck. I bought it used (much cheaper than a new one) after having fallen in love with Nottingham turntables through many auditions at a local store. The sound is sweet, full b... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K For the past few years I've been listening to many products from Line Magnetic through many different sets of speakers. And although these amplifiers are versatile enough to drive almost everything, they always sound better paired with high effici... |
