| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? Has anyone heard the Primaluna 6 and 7 monoblocks, and how would they rate them in comparison to other amps in the 3K range. | |
| Best Bang 4 the $ Intergrated Amp Audiolab is bullet proof. We moved twice and none of the tube gear survived, it had to be retubed, while the 8000-C Audiolab is in use at this moment. Although it's a pre, it looks identical to the intergrated amp with MM and MC phono sections. | |
| Soundstage depth and width On a serious economic note; if top of the line Radio Shack was all I had, that's all I would have until things change. Good music sounds good on top of the line Radio Shack, and bad music sounds bad on top of the line high end. | |
| Soundstage depth and width Your new speakers have gotten some fantastic reviews, and they are at a real world price; enjoy. | |
| Soundstage depth and width Ballywho, what kind of speakers do you have now? I've been able to turn "midfi" speakers into something close to high end by upgrading the capacitors in the crossover. If you can solder there are ways to upgrade what you have. | |
| Soundstage depth and width I was just kidding, you can hang out with the "big boys". On a serious note, it's unfortunate most of those places where you could audition high end equipment are no longer around. Although the equipment on Agon is a lot less, knowing what to buy ... | |
| Soundstage depth and width Rrog, it's apparent you are an "audiophile wannabe". This is a serious "audiophile discussion", come back when you're qualified. | |
| Soundstage depth and width Rrog, I've spent much time in many bistro's listening to many of the same people I have on records, and if you think you can reproduce that at home, you must be in a different universe. | |
| Soundstage depth and width Ballywho, what pre and amp were you using, and how much importance did you place on them in regard to the deep soundstage? | |
| Soundstage depth and width There are times when I sound like a "know it all audiophile". There is a reason for this. 25 years ago, there were three well stocked "high end emporiums" in my area. I spent so much time auditioning, that my wife swore I was seeing another women.... | |
| Soundstage depth and width Each sound was produced in space, and I consider it an audiophiles highest achievement to reproduce that element of space on playback. | |
| Soundstage depth and width I consider "the rest" to be a refinement in speaker wire and interconnects. If you compare this to cleaning a window that you thought was clean, you will get the feel of where I'm coming from.Some go by the name of the wire or interconnect, I pref... | |
| Soundstage depth and width While I don't disagree with anyone in regard to "timbre", especially since it's taken me years to get the right timbre; I consider it just another aspect in the complete package. DB in regard to loud is not something I take into consideration, whi... | |
| Soundstage depth and width I think we can all agree on a "three dimensional image"; what is most interesting, is how the various components contribute to that image. I'm curious to learn what others know in regard to this. | |
| Soundstage depth and width If I had to pick one or the other, I would say "depth"; however, they both are very important. I think "dipole" speakers contribute more depth than box speakers."Timbre" is very complex. How can someone state "unequivocally" that they have the rig... |
