| Connections You can connect the Equalizer inputs to the Pre-amp outputs. You the connect the Equalizer out puts to the Amp inputs.The Dynamic Processor is something I would put in the Tape loop. You would connect its inputs to the Tape out and its outputs to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For some reason, when checking in on this thread, I'm always (or most always anyway) reminded about the Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby story. :-) | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio Forgive another brain fart on the Pass 30A which I find IS based on the 30.5 amp. But you knew that. :-) | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio Depends on which model you select I suppose, they are all voiced differently. But except for the late model Sonata which was a 'bit hot' they are fairly balanced with a warm(er) upper-bass midrange. On older model Preludes (or other models) you m... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio That is a very nice integrated amp. I've thought of getting one for myself. I think your instincts are correct, i.e. you might benefit from getting different speakers. I think one of the underrated speakers presently out is Silverline Prelude Plus... | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp New Production Mullards can do what you want quite nicely. On a budget that is what I would (and do) do. | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? Integrated is not a hard word to spell. I agree. Neither is boor nor pedant. | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? When you can't think of anything that will improve on what you already have. I don't own the 'best' of anything, but I have invested a lot of time in synergy and set up of what I have. I often sit and think how nice some other stuff might be, but ... | |
| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? IMHO most of the snooty attitudes that we experience come from salesmen who are pushing their own product and denigrating the product of others hoping to make folks insecure about their own stuff and buy something new from them. Most of these sal... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Gary, you didn't ask, but FWIW, IMHO, depth of field is more of a product of the distance from the rear wall (and side walls) than the design of the speaker, i.e. even the best design will lose depth of image in direct proportion to the distance t... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion I own the Bolero's and have listened to the Minuets, including stacked Minuets which I really liked, and the Sonata III. I thought the Sonata III was a bit over the top - they sounded much like a lot of other 'high end' speakers. They are all voic... | |
| Any problem with Cary SLI-80 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER You are not 'right' although a lot of folks seem to prefer it. I'm not one of them. I find that Ultralinear is a little more 'powerful' sounding and Triode is more recessed, power wise and soundstage wise. Ultralinear seems to have more emphasis i... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Donzi, Quicksilver makes a small tube pre-amp that is both relatively inexpensive (especially if you get one that isn't a remote control model) and of pretty good quality. And it might put some flesh on those bare bones sounds you will get out of ... | |
| Primaluna amplifier Prologue vs Dialogue Anyone heard both? Worth it? I have not listened to the 'Premium' units, but from what I hear they will be more linear and modern sounding than the earlier Dialogues. If that is so then they might loose a bit of the warmth of the earlier Dialogues. I would miss that. Another ... | |
| Primaluna amplifier Prologue vs Dialogue Anyone heard both? Worth it? I have owned the PL1, the PL3&5 combo, as well as the Dialogue 1 and the Dialogue 2. I sold off the Prologues a couple of years ago. The Dialogue 1 and 2 are both much better than the Prologue units. Better bass/lower midrange for one thing. I... |
