| help with full system cable overhaul thanks everyone for your ideas. A few people have said cardas would be a good match, but I can't find any aesthetix users with that match. Since I'm already invested in the synergistic cables I see the sense ofusing them in other places, but don't... | |
| whats the best amplifier for me?? if size and weight is a consideration then maybe you want something like nu-force or anotherclass t amp. What's your budget and the rest if your system like? | |
| is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp? depends on your listening preferences. I have an aesthetix Janus pre and a bat vk-250 amp. I've been happy with the combo, although not blown away by the bat. I likes warm, present sound but didn't want anything too tubey, so this combo has been g... | |
| What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix? Azmoon: not to start a new thread, but if you're still looking to upgrade your phono section, you may want to look at the Aesthetix Janus as a one-box solution. I'm very, very happy with mine. | |
| What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix? Thanks everyone for your replies thus far.Azmoon: Can you tell me more about your system and what other amps you've used with the dali's besides the 402? Tusa: did you consider the 30.5 or just the x250.5? You had the BAT VK-250 as well? Can you t... | |
| What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix? I've heard the NuForce mono's and wasn't very impressed. I've heard other Class D from Rowland and Bel Canto and can't say I love it. Could just be a prejudice against digital amps, I know. Heat isn't a huge concern, but I don't want to start with... | |
| What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix? Ahh, that actually would be a problem. Not for me, but i have this wife who.... | |

| music server How much are you looking to spend? I think the sonos is very useful for casual listening, but the sound is lackluster. I think if you're willing to do some tech stuff to customize your setup, that a mac through external DAC is a pretty sweet setup... | |
| Need help moving from CDP to Mac Mini music server So I read up on the Buffalo and Yellow Machine 1TB NASs and I'm not sure this is actually the way to go, as both have problems (either interface, noise, or dependability problems). As I'm not going to use this setup for anything besides music, it ... | |
| Need help moving from CDP to Mac Mini music server First off, thanks everyone for the great replies..keep 'em coming.Pabelson: I'm pretty confident that the Benchmark is a great DAC (I've always felt the sony's only problem was it's redbook DAC, which was still pretty great). The only other DAC I'... | |
| squeezebox and home network If you figure 700 Megs per disk for 200 disks, you get 140 gigs. If you really want to be safe about it then you want to provide for the fact your music collection will grow, and that the computer's HD will probably die at some point (simple fact ... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso + MBL Power amp? I have not verified this myself, but have heard from others that Ayre and Aesthetix Calypso/Janus have problems together and that there's an audible hum. Has anyone else heard/experienced this? | |
| Best Balanced Solid State/Tube Preamps I own the Aesthetix Janus, which I love, but I've heard they have issues when used with Ayre amps, FWIW. | |
| Parasound JC-1 amps. Preamp advice?? I was on a similar exploration for a preamp with a good phono stage because I'm upgrading my turntable (and it appears everything else) in the near future. I actually got the preamp before getting a new amp, which ended up being a BAT VK-250 w/Bat... |
