| Finally Defined My Requirements. Recommendations? Other suggestions? Although I have not heard it, the new Audio Reseach SP-16 looks to be a very good tube preamp. It costs right at $2K (line stage) or $2.5K (w/phono)new. It was recently reviewed on one of the audio sites and recieved much acclai... | |
| EMC1 mk2 vs Cary 306/200... Nice work Tok2000. A well delineated and written comparative review. | |
| PS Audio PCA-2 Pre-Amp ???? It may be that PS is jumping the gun and advertising this product when it's engineering cycle has not been completed. I have seen this happen before. There are several reasons for engineering delays - performance or reliability issues, parts avail... | |
| philips sacd 1000 as a redbook player The 1000 has a mediocre to poor reputation as a redbook player. Below is one very recent thread from Audio Asylum's digital forum on it's redbook performance. My recommendation would be to wait for the newer model (963 I think) however, I have not... | |
| Finest integrated SE under U.S. $ 6,000.00 PASS will kick ass, assuming you want no editing. | |
| Who's using the Jolida JD100? I have owned the JD-100 for approximately 8 months and am continually impressed with how good it sounds. Hard to b elieve this is less than a grand. Just no glaring shortcomings that leave one wanting. The player sounds immediate and dynamic with ... | |
| Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8 The RM-40s sure have garnered a good reputation and I would love to try a pair. But, at 240lbs each (or there-abouts) they are just too large and heavy. The weight is particularly bothersome, for me anyway. When I think about all the technological... | |
| Cary CD-308T The Jolida is a budgetary delight. More money does not necessarily mean more performance (your listening experience) in regards to CD players. | |
| Innersound Kilowatt Monoblock, how good is it? The following link includes a few comments on the Innersound amp as well as a couple others.http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/messages/6608.html | |
| What speakers for $5K Used? You may want to try a new pair of Magnepan 3.6s. The large, immediate and dynamic soundstage very well may give you a new lease on life. The Maggies have their drawbacks but, the large and immediate soundstage, and truth of timbre are not among th... | |
| OK, best speakers for 2500 USED...... Magnepan 1.6's. Se'em up right and they will continue to excite. A lot of speaker for the money. | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? The five that he sells, of course. | |
| Maggies and Talon Roc Good information here. I guess the set-up could have been less than ideal but, from a visual standpoint the subs were located beside and just inside the panels. Seems like a respectable place to put them. And the x-over from the Vandersteen 5 was ... | |
| 3-way under 1000 new. I have heard quite a bit of good things about he new Energy C-series (C-5, 7 & 9). These are under 1K and suppose to be very good. Auditioning is on my inteniary. | |
| Anyone compared the Rega Jupiter and Cary 306/200? Don't get pigeonholed with the Cary. In this price range you need to be sure and audition components. Like the Arcam FMJ-23. You will be surprised. |
