| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition B&W mate exceptionally well with Classe and Mac. No need to necessarily go with tubes w/ Mac power amps (unless you want to) as they use output transformers like tube amps do. I've heard the B&W/Mac SS combo and it floored me. Many swear b... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,Let us know what you think when you get it. What is the rest of your system that these amps will integrate into? | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition I think the SE version adds balanced input and higher filter capacitance. They may have upper the quality on internal parts and added a toriodal transformer. All in all it may be smoother, more musical and less harsh than the original. | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Is every one aware that the new Adcom is not the same company it was in the '80-'90s company. It was bought out about 8 years ago and they moved from the east coast to Arizona. The new company was a digital company offered better HT processing in ... | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? Lightminer,You are so correct. I'm glad you chimed in. It was considered the best amp at the time by many. The Aleph series sound right.Thank you! | |
| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio Please excuse the typos and grammar errors on the above post. I rushed it and posted it before I proof read it. | |
| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio These are all good suggestions and as I said in my post that a full bodied speaker it my choice. I believe they will compliment CAs quick detailed sound and the live acoustic space the system will be in. Paragon, Quad, and Totem my fulfill these n... | |
| Cambridge 640A V2 Volume Control Issue I also have the 649a V2 but my volume control doesn't react as badly. It is very sensative w/ the remote, but does require you to hold the button down a little longer than what is intuitive to move the control. At the very low end of the dial it c... | |
| Cambridge Audio 640c V2, 650c, or 740c differences Rotarius,Something to be aware of. Thanks | |
| Denon DP-47F arm return problem? Help needed I sold the Denon as a defective unit needing repair. I'm using my Technics SL-D2 (with an Ortofon Super OM10 cartridge) and it is quite a nice budget table, maybe even better than others in the same price range. I'd like to upgrade to the Technics... | |
| Two tube amps for your consideration please Old texas dog,I commented earlier on your request for Jolida 502/302 comparison. I see you are taking requests on other brands. One of the best deals out there is from a "Made in the USA" company. Cary Audio Design from NC has a budget line design... | |
| CD Player for my Jolida 707a In 2005 I auditioned the Jolida 100, Rega Planet 2K, Cary CD308, and Cary 308T. The Cary (non T) won hands down and I bought a used one for $750. I think the newer Cambridge's may better w/ better DACs and technology. | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? Good to here your comments on the comparison. But I disagree that the Aleph series are not classics. They sure are and have a following all the way thru Nelson Pass' kitchen table projects. The Aleph 30 is one of my all time fovorites. | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? I'm not sure your going to find someone that has experience with both, as they keep different company. I did have the Pass Labs Aleph 30 that Nelson liked better as it is an upgrade to the 3. Tighter bass, more dynamic, pristine clarity. I loved m... | |
| Cary 120s Cary Audio's "Audio Electronic Super Amp MkII" is cut from the same cloth as the s120 and is a big step up from the St70 at half the cost of the s120. And it is smokin' good, and will let you roll EL34, KT-66,7,88,90s, 6550 and others w/o any inte... |
