| BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ???? B&N is not cashing in on a hot market anymore than the recent crop of used record stores that have sprung up where I live during this recent vinyl resurgence. Oh yeah, these used record shops also sell new reissues - the exact same ones the B... | |
| The best SS integrated amplifier for Focal 807W Prestige speakers Did you hear these amps driving your speakers in your room?Perhaps it's the acoustics in your listening room that is preventing you from duplicating what you heard. But if your confident that the various amps you have tried are truly the problem,... | |
| The best SS integrated amplifier for Focal 807W Prestige speakers Like the previous two posters, I too am a Marantz reference owner having a PM15S2. As much as I love this amp and would not hesitate to recommend it, after trying six amps with none satisfying you I would ask another question...How do you know it... | |
| focal 1038be or sopra 2 Never was much of a fan of Focals but after hearing the Sopra 2's in a lengthy audition a few weeks ago at AXPONA, made me change my mind. It sounded nothing like past Focals I have heard.I thought it was the best sounding speaker I heard in it's... | |
| looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp. But one pair of speaker ,time to time listen with a tube or s/s amp.If this the case, then strike off everything on your list and also what has been suggested so far. Time to start to auditioning speakers of higher impedance and sensitivity and f... | |

Btw, are there any Classe Cap 151 owner's here at Audiogon ? and what speaker mostly they match?At 150wpc into 8ohms and 225wpc into 4, just about any speaker ever made.Tube integrated amp ..next purchase after speaker. If this your intention, why... | |
| looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp. Here a few that I like but never audition , so I am depending on your honest advise.1. Nola boxer 22. Von Schweikert VR-13. Vienna Haydn Grand4.open ...??I pick No. 4, Open. But seriously, why don't you attempt to audition the speakers on your li... | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? My bad; these speakers are rated for maximum 300w at 4 ohms.IMO, power handling ratings for speakers are among the most meaningless spec there is. Impedance and Sensitivity are the specs that matter most.At 93db sensitivity, a good 100 wpc amp in... | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? I’m considering acquiring a new (for me) integrated, under $2k, to drive my KEF full range speakers. They are very efficient (93db) , 4ohm and rated for 50 - 200 watts. It seems that a good amp with 80 or 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms will take ... | |
| New Technics 1200 Again, if your looking for something positive about the Hanpin knock offs, you won't get it from me. Just straight talk.For the life of me, I can't figure out why someone would pay $700 for a Pio PLX-1000 when less would get you a good used SL-12... | |
| Lawsuits over "dots" You mean lawsuits like the long black robes the judges wear? Someone wants them to wear dots now? | |
| New Technics 1200 You were very clear and I addressed your question in my very first post. I will repeat the answer here...The next best thing to a new SL-1200 GAE would be a good used 1200 MKII. None of the other Chinese built SL-1200 knock offs will come close to... | |
| New Technics 1200 If you do Mitch, please give us a thorough review. And remember, if you get one of the next 900, you will be getting the 50th anniversary edition (SL-1200GAE) that will be a cut above the later edition (SL-1200G). | |
| New Technics 1200 Mofimadness is correct. The pricing has been well known now for a couple of months.And the Technics rep at AXPONA just this past weekend confirmed the same. So if anyone want this TT, makes sense to get one of the 1200 GAE limited edition as the... | |
| BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ???? The OP said nothing about a warp czarivey. I agree - that would clearly be a defect and not visible unless the packaging is opened. This discussion is about surface noise and this could be inherent in a poor quality pressing. It could even be t... |
