| want to build a 2 channel system where do i start I agree with Chadliz, but you must also decide what you want from a system. Do you want a turntable, do you mind lots of components or do you prefer to keep it simple. if it was up to me, I would devide my money like this more or less.Speakers $8k... | |
| Need Help: Integrated 'Tube' Amplifier for Arros Oops sorry I didn't see you wanted a tube amp. I know nothing about them. | |
| Need Help: Integrated 'Tube' Amplifier for Arros I am sure you will get a million different replies but I would say Symphonic Line RG14 edition. Nothing fancy and with a proper phono pre. | |
| Old power amp with newer preamp? Grats on a nice buy. I own a rotel pre and power combo. RC980bx and Rb1070, and I agree that the Rotel pre can be a bit bass shy. I had mine modded. Someone added an current amp that adds 0.25A also the opamps and some other minor thing changed, t... | |
| Seeking amp help or thoughts, please :- I don't have any answers for you but I just wanted to say I like what you are trying to do.The only thing I can say ia maybe buy a seperate AV pre amp/processor and 5 mono amps or so. | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Don't know if someone already mentioned it but. For $250 you should be able to buy a 2nd hand Clearaudio Basic. | |
| Jeff Rowland model 3, are they any good I think you can roughly say $1=1 in second hand and new audio. A VPI scout retail in the Netherlands for about 1900 the US retail is $1800. Up to half a year ago the Scout retailed for about $2200.It all depends a bit on the brand, a second hand... | |
| Vincent Audio I am not really sure about Vincent. Never heard them myself but I have mixed feelings about them. Some of the stories I heard are to good to be true. I read stories the people where replacing top power amps for the SP996.But it may be worth the ga... | |
| Jeff Rowland model 3, are they any good The shop is asking 2300 for a pair of model 3 mono blocks. The told me the original price was about fl 10.000,- But now with the euro it is a bit hard to say if that is a decent price.One problem I have though is they are balanced and to get the ... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Are Jeff Rowland amps truly balanced or do they just have an balanced input. Many brands of CD/amp etc have balanced in/out but every few of the are build 100% balanced. | |
| Linn klimax gear with Sonus Faber Cremona TDa2200About 8 years ago I was in the market for an amp. Back then I reviewed Linn, Creek, Rega, Naim, Rotel and Arcam. Linn, Creek and Rega all sounded veiled to me. I have to say in the case of Linn it could also be the speakers. All the amps I ... | |
| OpAmp Swap? Bur Brown op amps have been difficult to buy since they were taken over by texas instruments. At least it was 2 years ago. Don't know how it is today. An other nice single opamp is the AD 797 but I heard it is rather tricky. I tried it in my pre a... | |
| Linn klimax gear with Sonus Faber Cremona Personally I would go for a more neutral sounding speaker. Linn has warm/romantic sound and SF is also not the most neutral speaker manufacturer out there. I really do like SF but a combo with Linn might be a bit to much colouration. I think Dynau... | |
| VTL MB450 monos Vs. BAT VK 60se monos? Personally I would stay away from tube power amps. For reasons mentioned earlier. The pre amp you have is really good, can only dream of that kind of gear. If I were you I would buy some (maybe class A) SS mono amps. Place those amps close to your... | |
| Rega Elys II cartridge: Is it worth the money?? If you want a rega cart buy the exact. Either buy a MM or low output MC. Never really understood the purpose of high output MC's. |
