| tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel Just want to say thanks to everyone for your opinions, you have no idea how helpful you have been. Any thoughts on running the Thiel 2.3s with the VTLs?Thanks so much. | |
| 2 Classe ca 100's vs 1 Classe ca 200 ? with what you're looking for, you may even consider going with the ca300 if you can, i've read that the sonics and low end are much better than the 100 or 200. it may be stretching your dollar, but it's a thought. looked into it quite a bit as i w... | |
| What's the best preamp for my system? I'd also consider the Audio Note M1, a great deal for the little piece at only around $1000 retail. Very quick, extended and neutral. Another thought might be an Adcom GFP-750. Inexpensive used and Stereophile Class A, supposed to be a hell of a d... | |
| AR vs Cary vs Blue Circle vs... Thanks for all the thoughts. Any preferences for preamps with the BC28? The M1 is pretty neutral and quick, not your average tube pre. Also considering a solid state pre. Any thoughts if I go this direction? | |
| AR vs Cary vs Blue Circle vs... One other thought I've had would be a Pass Labs amp, like the X150. Just a thought. | |
| 6922 tube question Just wanted to say hello and thanks for all the replies to my inquiry. So you know, the speakers are spiked. I've played with position a bit, but should do more. I have a feeling, after reading your replies, some of the warmth comes from the oil c... | |
| The Amp Game, You could also look into an Odyssey Stratus. You can get a used one in your price range. I doubt you will be disappointed, unless you need a lot more power. But that depends on listening levels, etc. | |
| NHT ST-4. Great deal and sounds funny Help GURUS I owned the ST-4 for a short while. I'd say they are very neutral and detailed balanced a little heavy on the low end. I guess a bit layed back overall. I compared them to the similarly priced B&Ws (604s I think) and liked them better. I think... | |
| CDP with volume control A wonderful player. Can use the tube with volume control or the solid state out through a preamp. This player puts a smile on my face every time i listen. Good luck. | |
| used sony or modified music hall i would tend to go with the music hall. the only reason i say that is i have auditioned the sony XA777ES at home and didn't like it much at all with redbook. very uninvolving and boring. bass was very lean as well. if you listen to SACD, then it's... | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension I currently have a EAR 834L. I can't speak to it's exact bass extension, and it's most likely not at the level you are looking. But I found the extension stronger and lower than what I was achieving with with my adcom pre. Just a thought, you may ... | |
| Speaking of PS Audio... Socrates...Any recommendations? Locally, I'm not finding much to check out before things get really expensive. The PS Audio set-up is the best I've found for the $$ so far. I'm interested in tubes which is why I was thinking of the Jolida.I tend t... | |
| tube pre-amp feedback... Appreciate the thoughts. The pre is not on other equipment, though cables could be crossing. I'll check that as well as tube treatments.As for the sound, I prefer it over the Adcom GTP-502 I had been using. While the Adcom sounded great for it's p... | |
| Totem's "Hawk" and "Forrest":How Hi-End Are They? I spoke with a Totem dealer recently about these two models. I was told that they both sounded good, but the Hawk could not be driven to the same levels as the Forrest. He said people would demo the Hawk and end up cranking it up because they were... | |
| Best line conditioner??? Well, I haven't used all the conditioners, but I recently got the Chang Lightspeed cls 3200 and it did make a difference right away. I highly recommend this product. If you don't want to drop the $300, try the monster hts 1000, or 2000. I've heard... |
