| Mark Levinson 532H I heard one a year ago, driving Revel Salon 2s when I was auditioning speakers. Nice amp, especially in the mids. Quite neutral. Really liked it with acoustic and small combo music. But for rock I preferred the comparably-priced Plinius SB-301's p... | |
| Classe CA-M 600 vs Electrocompaniet NEMO Antonkk, I recall that you are in Russia, and so I assume you have 240 volt electrical service. Before jumping on the revolving gear bandwagon, I'd start with running good quality 10 gauge electrical wire hooked up to 30 amp circuit breakers, with... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Update - the Symphonic Line Kraft 250 monos have been in my system for two weeks now. While they didn't even have 100 hours on them when they arrived and so are still breaking in/settling in a bit, I can say that they are stunning with the Salon 2... | |
| Power Amp advice Lloyd, you're absolutely right that high-end choices have expanded. I can remember when I was in college in the late 70s-early 80s that there were not many hi-fi choices at all and a lot of what we had was really what we'd consider mid-fi today. W... | |
| Power Amp advice What speakers are you driving? What source components do you use? What sort of music do you like and at what volume? What are the dimensions of your room? It's pretty hard to suggest equipment without knowing those parameters. Lloydelee, the ML 53... | |
| Question on tube preamp The Plinius amp has a balanced input that I use with the Plinius pre, but the SL tube pre is single-ended only. | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions The SL pre-amp has been in place for ten days and the new ICs are starting to break in, so a few observations can be made.The Plinius M8 did quite a few things well, including deep bass with authority, good macro-dynamics, a quiet background and a... | |
| Question on tube preamp While my situation is not identical to yours gear-wise, it may be close enough to be somewhat meaningful. For the last week and a half I've been enjoying a new-to-me used Symphonic Line "The Enlightenment" tubed pre-amp. It is currently feeding a ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions The new (to me anyway) tube pre-amp has arrived - the Symphonic Line "The Enlightenment."This beat the pending arrival of a new set of RCA interconnects and power cords to arrive (was using balanced ICs and the Plinius M8 pre-amp is 240V). So righ... | |
| Cary SLAM 100 vs. Manley Snapper You just revived a thread that has been dead for three (3) years.Bored much? | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions I've heard the Salon 2s with the ARC DSi200 integrated amp (with ARC CD8 front end). The combo sounded very good but I think 200 wpc is the least amount of power it takes to drive them. Here's a favorable review of the ARC Ref250s: http://www.thea... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions "the key component that really brings the music to life is the BAT Rex preamp that I am using. The solid state amp with the tube pre is really a most musical combination. the sound is never tiring, and low level listening is just as pleasurable."A... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Thanks for the additional replies.I like Rowland gear but I think it would be more a lateral move from the Plinius stuff than a major upgrade.I really like the Ayre C-5xeMP player but will eventually add a DAC to handle computer audio, so good to ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I did hear the Salon 2s with an ML 532H while auditioning gear last fall. I thought it very good on acoustic music and liked the midrange especially, but prefer the Plinius SB-301's bass weight and control, ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Thanks for the comments so far. I have heard of the Carver AT180s and will investigate the 305 watt version. I did hear the ML 532H driving Salon 2s when auditioning gear. I thought it very good with piano and acoustic music and that it had a clea... |
