| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range @balooo2 I know you are a noob, but FYI I believe you are looking for an integrated amp, not a power amp. You are getting recommendations for both but just wanted to clarify. A power amp alone won't really help you. I'm with others on the Par... | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy Consider me another vote for the "Sheryl Crow (or any 90's recording) is generally not where you want to judge a speaker" crowd. | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver @bound4h if you can get there Luxman is an excellent pairing, IMHO. I didn't realize the Hegel had no phono input. Definitely a deal breaker for many. As stated I use 509x with an older MA silver, the equiv of the 200 today. I do have a sub but... | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver @bound4h what @audphile1 says above is spot on. People suggest all the time that they just add power to their AVR and I cringe, because i've A/B tested mine and it's not really close. One more thing on the MA front.....when my dealer came over... | |
| Audio Research I/50 integrated? Thank you @sandstone that's part of what prompted me to bump this. I did see one at my dealer later that day and it's a pretty physically large unit so a bit restrictive for the WAF needed.....but the i/50 could work. OTOH I had a blast with my ... | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver Hint 6 yes, Anthem STR, maybe Pass Labs INT 60 or Luxman 507z or 509x would be my start points. I would imagine the Pass (and know the Luxman) can let you bypass the phono preamp as mentioned above. I’m also going to throw another vote for the Heg... | |
| Best music in 2022 I rather enjoyed the season 2 soundtrack to White Lotus. Great background music for the dinner hour. | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver @bound4h this is just one man's opinion but those speakers can take you farther in this hobby than your amp can. And the reason I know is because although I had big intentions of upgrading my MA S6's I've not yet gotten around to it because they ... | |
| Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps I'm with others, buy a US spec version and you'll be better off in the long run. | |
| Can you share your experience and thoughts on the Audio Research integrated? @ghdprentice I've become curious about the Vsi75.....have you compared it to anything such as PL, Rogue, etc? | |
| Audio Research I/50 integrated? Bumping this thread. Am curious about this unit and perhaps the Vsi75 as well. @poke33 I honestly don’t know how one can diss this one but endorse the Manley when it comes to visual impact. Unless i’m misreading what you mean by "optically". | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? I asked the same question and asked for comparisons recently as you can see here: consensus was no, not really worth it compared to modern gear. | |
| Songs of debauchery and excess Drugs with Friends - Car Seat Headrest. Not sure if I've found a better live rock n roll song in the past few years. | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Some people don't get satire @arafiq! Good lord, this feels like one of those corporate email storms where everyone just hits "reply all" and keeps it going. | |
| The Beatles Revolver Spent some time with this over the weekend. I don't know if the alternate version of Tomorrow Never Knows had been released prior but that is the highlight of this release IMHO. Overall I think the mix is excellent and this release is worth payi... |
