| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? New Rogue AmpGoldprintaudio,I did see those amps were shown at CES and was interested in hearing what they were capable of. I greatly respect Rogue, as an American manufacturer, and especially the value they offer. I've found the character of the ... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Missing posts??? Ralph recommended some higher sensitivity speakers to me in a post he made in this thread on Tuesday, which I read that night. Last night, the Audiogon forums were unavailable when I checked back. Now, both that post, and at least... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Again, thanks to everyone for the continuing comments and recommendations. I appreciate all of the advice and perspectives being offered. Several people have mentioned the possibility of changing speakers and thats a fair question. I do really lov... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? John,I greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter. I've come very close to jumping on the Pass bandwagon, because I greatly admire what Nelson has done. I've especially targeted the 30.5's because they have tested out at 140wpc A/B. However, I... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Tony,Thanks very much for your thoughts. I've done some research and it does not seem likely that any Spectral amps could be had within my budget. I have heard they are tremendous, though, but the requirements for very expensive MIT cables, by its... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Oops, I forget to mention a Plinius SA-102 as an obvious contender. | |
| Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used? 01-23-12: Swampwalker"Why did you skip over the M-60s when you dismissed the MA-1s?"Unfortunately, in my small listening room the M60's (which essentially double the heat output of the S-30) would literally create a sauna. I've even had this discu... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player "Do you have a DAC? If not, then the NA 7004 may be a more logical purchase than the sbt"I do own an excellent DAC, the Bryston BDA-1. My original thoughts, if I went with the Marantz NA7004, was to bypass its internal DAC and use the digital out ... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player "Given this statement, I certainly would not invest at the Bryston level until you're sure. The Touch is a great, inexpensive, way to get your feet wet here and, even if you get the Bryston (or other device) later, you can always use the Touch in ... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player Richard,I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts after spending the time with both units. Also, you mention it being nice to play high rez files without having to turn on the pc. Aren't the files stored on the pc's hard drives? | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player Richard,Your observations on both units are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for the perspective. | |
| Anyone have experience with Olive 06HD? The weakness of the 4HD is the dac, which is not nearly as well implemented as it is in the 6HD. I own an 04, and have it routing its signals to a Bryston BDA-1 DAC, and the resulting sound quality is exceptional. If you already have a quality DAC... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player Thanks to all for the input. I've seen nothing but raves about the Bryston, and am not averse to going that direction. It's just with the high cost of Hi Rez downloads, I'm simply not certain how far I will go with this. I would love to buy the wh... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player "My advice? Don't bother. I get the best results running high Rez from a macbook (decibel software) into a Musical Fidelity V Link and out into the Dac."Well, I don't have a Mac, but is this option viable from a Windows PC? | |
