| building on a budget--looking for amp advice I would stay with Rotel. I have B&W 602s3 speakers and have used: Arcam A90, Nad 318, Rotel 1062. The Rotel sounded the best to my ears. Rotel is known to have a nice synergy with B&W speakers..... The Arcam and Nad are both nice amps also... | |
| Help me choose a receiver,Rotel1550, Arcam 400 or My local dealer also carries Marantz (which I like), but doesn't mate very well with B&W in my listening tests and the dealer doesn't like the pairing either. They usually demo their Marantz with Focal speakers. I would think you will be VERY ... | |
| Help me choose a receiver,Rotel1550, Arcam 400 or I have owned the Arcam A90 and Rotel RA-1062 integrated amps and used them with B&W 602s3 bookshelves. I preferred the sound of the cheaper Rotel with B&W and my local dealer also strongly recommended Rotel gear with B&W..... I thought... | |
| Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between? Sorry, should have elaborated more.... I have owned Mac Seperates (solid-state), Sunfire Seperates, Rotel and Arcam, and NAD Integrateds. The Bryston was the most balanced, best sounding unit to my ears. It has warmth, detail, great bass control..... | |
| Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between? The best SS integrated that I have used is the Bryston B-60SST. You should be able to find one used at your budget. Great sound, bullet proof build quality, excellent customer service and warranty! | |
| Cable Recommendations for Entry Level I own a vintage NAD integrated and just upgraded to SupraPly cable. This cable is exremely natural and the treble is amazing! (NAD's can be soft) It replaced audioquest type4 which is good budget cable. I think I paid $2.50 per foot unterminated, ... | |
| Yaqin Tube Buffer I just purchased the Grant Fidelity 283mkii which I believe is the same unit as the CD3. The reason I purchased this model was: (1)It has a on/off power switch. (2)It uses 6SN7 tubes instead of the 6922 family of tubes. The stock chinese tubes sou... | |
| SACD & HDCD Player I believe the Arcam converts to PCM. I currently own the Arcam DV 137 and love the sound, it is excellent on red-book cd's. My only complaint is the disc spins quite loudly and is normal for these units. If I did it over again, I would purchase a ... | |
| Integrated Jolida, Xindak, Doge, MF Agree with Mcgarick. I was recently in a similar position as yourself, and decided to try an ARC tube-hybrid pre-amp. It worked beautifully with my Citation SS power amp! | |
| Bryston B-60R SST vs. Arcam A38 integrated amps I owned the Bryston b60 sst and an arcam a85 integrated. The Bryston was much more refined to my ears. I think the bryston would be a much better amp. The only complaint was that it was harder finding the "sweet spot" when adjusting the volume on ... | |
| Onkyo Digital Integrated Amps I listen to my system from about 7 feet away, in a condo at low to moderate volumes. I am a little weary of NAD products because of reliability and have owned Rotel in the past. I prefer smooth sound over hyper-detailed.. I would go with a sub and... | |
| Good CD Player for a Bryston B-60 Amp? I really like the Rotel 1072. I have run this with my b-60 and b&w 602s3 and was very pleased. | |
| cheap high quality power strip I also got a power strip from "Gene Rubin audio" and absolutely recommend it!I've tried a few power conditioners and after buying this, I will never plug into another conditioner. You will not be dissapointed! | |
| Need speaker advice for new Rotel system I've listened to Rotel gear played through both Focal and B&W. I think B&W is a much better match! | |
| Just Starting..Budgeting up to 1K for next upgrade I think your epos speakers are good, I would change the amp! I worked my way up the integrated chain owning:Rotel,Arcam,Rega,and Bryston. Bryston is my favorite, but I really loved the sound of my Rega Brio.(if you don't need a remote or a ton of ... |
