| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? Great choice Dhcod. I just recently went the same route having Keith perform the M1a upgrade to my amps. Everything that has been stated about Herron I full heartedly back up. | |
| In need of an Arcam repair A local dealer had mentioned Arizona Hifi as a possible. I know some of these dealers send the units out for repair. Really wanted to avoid any unnecessary handling.Thanks to everyone who chimed in! | |
| In need of an Arcam repair Thank you ZD542. Always nice to have a personal endorsement when doing some homework. Would be nice to find something near the west coast but we do not seem to have much of an Arcam presence. | |
| Vintage amp repair... Just made contact and amp is on it's way. | |
| Vintage amp repair... I used the email and phone # from that site. I have been very curious about his S500 series II mods. Specifically what is involved with turning it into full class A. I would certainly be intereted in any opinions from others who may have some expe... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... I am waiting for a pair of the Amperex Hollands to be delivered Bigshutterbug recomended. With a budget of near 3K I have not seen much used activity for anything on my shortlist. I will try to search out a listen on the Cary SLP-05...Thanks Tango. | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Well I did some more testing with impromptu room treatments and speaker placement. My conclusion is that on low volumes the bass seems to be fairly controlled. As the volume goes up the low frequencies start/can get muddy, for lack of a better ter... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Thanks Unsound...Good possibility. I assume you base that on me mentioning how bright or harsh some of the rooms large material surfaces are. The low frequencies negative affects on "everything" I know are real. It definately sound better at low t... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... The Dunlavy Contata's finally arrived and are now mated with the Bryston cdp, T-hold S500II and Belles 21A pre. Aside from the larger and more powerfull presence the Dunlavy's provide, much of my earlier tonal critiquing generally applies. I would... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Yes, just a CD player. | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Looks like the Dunlavy's will indeed be my next speaker. Any insight on what single-ended preamp possibles would compliment the combination with a T-hold S/500 II, Bryston cdp, and full Morrow cables/IC/PC set-up? | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Thank you for your input Unsound. My budget keeps me having to research and watch the used market to build a system I know I would otherwise not be able to own. I am very fond of the amp as I was the Polk speakers though I completely understand th... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Thought I would post an update. I was mistaken about the Belles preamp tubes being Mallards. Turns out they were RCA 5814A's. I installed the oem equipped Mallards for a oem base-line test. Heading Dayglow's advice I also purchased a Bryston BCD-1... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... I would like to extend "Thanks" to everyone who took the time to respond. The info has given me both something to ponder for a sense of system direction along with items to keep an eye for and contiune research on.Bigshutterbug...I am using the or... | |
| Preamp possibles for system... Sounds logical. Here is a few CDP's I have seen reference to with Pass gear I think would be in my budget. I think most of these are still near the ten year old mark. Would they be a marked improvement over the CD23?Ayre Cx-7Accuphase 65, 67Arcam ... |
