| I hear a lot of talk about the higher end Audio Technical cartridges on here The AT-ART9 is their TOTL cartridge and can be bought from LP Gear along with the full line of all their cartridges...http://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.html | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA Sorry your post proves nothing as the systems and listening rooms are totally different. Its just your opinion and I'll bet your friends opinion who owns the Parasound is exactly the opposite. And he probably couldn't wait to get it home.But tha... | |
| Good options for monitor Audio sliver line You have now started three different threads Nesto in an attempt to improve your 2 channel listening and everytime an integrated is suggested, you keep going back to questions about HT stuff. We really are trying to help you. But they are two di... | |
| How much do I have to spend? Hey, I am sure the Job 225 is a very good power amp. I stand by my earlier statement though - that an amps PRIMARY job to drive a pair of speakers. It serves no other function. So the amp should be properly matched to the speakers it is tasked... | |
| Good options for monitor Audio sliver line You're welcome.Take a look at the Marantz Pm8005, PM14s1, PM11s3 all reference series integrateds built in Japan with HT Bypass. You up can also look at the Parasound Halo Integrated and Krell S300i. Any of these will drive your MA's effortlessly... | |
| Are marantz power amps any good? Sure, but not from Marantz. All their other power amps are HT amps that are made in China, fairly low powered and IMO, less than desirable for true HiFi.Why do you need 300 wpc like the MA9s2's anyway? What exactly are you trying to accomplish w... | |
| Are marantz power amps any good? I agree with the above.The 2 channel gear that Marantz makes at their reference factory in Japan is true Hifi and in another league vs. the mainstream HT stuff that Marantz makes in China.The MA9s2 is one of their quality reference series componen... | |
| Good options for monitor Audio sliver line Your speakers also have a sensitivity of 90db making them pretty efficient. Any 100 wpc integrated that is stable and rated into 4 ohms will drive your speakers to sound levels higher than you would be comfortable listening at.Also it is not the ... | |
| How much do I have to spend? The Rotel is giving you 200 wpc into 8 ohms, more than enough for the Tannoys. You most likely have power to spare on tap that your never using. I really don't think you need a different amp.Again, an amps primary job is to drive a pair of speak... | |
| Good options for monitor Audio sliver line Sorry, just a bit confused.You have a Marantz AVR, bought an Emotiva XPA power amp but then sold it the next day because you thought the AVR sounded better. So now you want to buy another amp?You already tried one and didn't like it. So why are ... | |
| How much do I have to spend? Components, especially amps and speakers should be matched by how well they perform together and not by price tags. Your Tannoys are 8 Ohm, 90 db speakers so they won't require a ton of power to drive them - just good clean power with high curren... | |
| Denon to Parasound You will notice a huge improvement moving from a 150 bogus wpc AVR to the Parasound A23 that will give you an honest 125 wpc with 45 amps of current to back it up. Something the Denon does not even dare publish with its small power supply trying ... | |
| Replacing stylus on a AT 150XML Very sorry to hear this. It sounds like the suspension collapsed. You are correct, the AT-150MLX has user replaceable styli so you did nothing wrong by taking it off. It is designed this way. Also MM cartridges cannot be retipped, they can onl... | |
| How do you spot an overplayed used lp without obvious scratches etc I agree with jerroot about used record vendors cleaning their records before they put them for sale in a shop or at a show. So besides checking the labels, pay close attention to the jacket. This will tell you a lot. Any of that white ring rash... | |
