| @georgehifi Take a look at the NAD M22v2 | |
| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? Via Ethernet, I run Roon Core on a Small Green Computer i7 for Roon DSP device connected to an Innuos Zenith MKII streamer as my Roon end point. I use an iPad Pro, iPhone, or my laptop as a remote controller. | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners @gadios. Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try to audition that amp. The price is well within my budget. | |

| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I moved from a NAD M12 pre/DAC NAD M22v2 power amp combo to a used Herron VTSP-3A (r02) tube pre amp and Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE DAC with the M22v2. That combination works very well with my speakers. If you can find a used Herron in the ~2.5... | |
| You just won a $5,000 audio gear only gift card PS Audio DirectStream DAC | |
| Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range? The Techdas Air Force 1 is a really nice looking TT. If someone can show me where I can find it in the OP's $1800 price range, I'd sell my beloved 1200G and buy one in a heartbeat. | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners The F702's look very nice and a lot like my DC8Ti's. They are priced about the same. The F702's are more efficient and lack rear ports, which might be good depending on the amp I end up with. Going with a tube amp is a big decision for me becau... | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners @cd318 Thank you. I truly appreciate your comments. I also had way too much 80's and 90's era stuff from my military days, and began giving it way last year to my nephew, godson, and goddaughter. In the end, I can't take it with me: NAD 714... | |
| Higher End DACs As far as streamers, you should give Innous a serious look. Innous has streamers ranging from ~$1,200 Zen Mini MK3 to the Zenith Statement at ~$13,000. | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners @mulveling Thanks for the feedback. Never heard VACs. I’ll have to talk to some of the local dealers. I hope to audition Linear Tube Audio’s reference power amps next week. LTA is a local manufacturer, who will be at the upcoming Tampa audio show. | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners Thanks to everyone who’s responded. This has given me a lot to think about. My plan is to stay with separates, and to try a tube amp. I hope to audition the Audio Mirror Reflection 45 WPC SET mono blocks within the next two weeks and go from th... | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners I agree on the quality front. Great sound a given, I also want something that's going to last. For the amp, I set my budget at $7.5K for something new. I'm hoping to buy a demo or used amp at a much better price. I want to move into retirement... | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners Its all about matching the speaker and amp appropriately together. I couldn't agree more. The NAD is a pretty good match with these speakers. But, I'm hoping to hear that "tube magic" that so many folks talk about. @cd318 I have considered k... | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners David,Thanks for the specs. Why didn’t I think of that :-)!Unlike my youth, I now keep my listening levels low to moderate. I’m just trying to enjoy the music. My “rock the house” days are long over.The NAD pushes the Tannoy’s with ease. I have... |
