| How do you respond to this question? I listen to vinyl because...it sounds different than digital. To my ears, some of it actually sounds better so these end up being very special albums. With some other titles, CD's may sound better so when I am in the mood for that music, I will pl... | |
| Sonus Faber Liuto Or Vienna Acoustics Mozart Gran The Marantz PM11S1 is a very good amp that will easily drive either pair of the speakers you are considering. While I agree with others to always try and audition first, I also understand that this is becoming more and more difficult to do. And so... | |
| preamp/amp or integrated? That is the question I listen to: big Symphonies, electric blues, classic rock.And what speakers do you listen to the above through?Without knowing what speakers you intend on driving, I'm afraid any recommendation about amps is meaningless. | |
| 300 budget While I agree that NAD makes a very good, high value integrated for the money, many of the newer used NAD's do not have phono sections. So check any model your considering carefully.Also, if you're considering vintage, try and audition it first. M... | |
| opinions Which NAD 3020? The classic vintage one or the new Hybrid Digital? | |
| McIntosh MA5200 Also, I'm not trusting any reviews. A review is an opinion. I just quoted the specs. They don't support your argument, so you don't count them as valid. If the same exact specs supported your argument, they would be fine.You're only concern is to ... | |
| McIntosh MA5200 tend to speak my mind, not trust reviews and use listening as my primary method for component selection.I had to offend them in another thread. Its the only way that I can explain their posts.In the future, if you have an issue with me, come to me... | |
| McIntosh MA5200 The reality is that the MA5200 is designed for an 8 ohm nominal load, not 4. Given how well make Mc is, it won't fail, but it is safe to predict that it won't sound its best either.Well said. This is exactly why I stayed away from this amp as I ha... | |
| McIntosh MA5200 A German Hi Fi Mag. Stereoplay found 206WPC into 4 Ohm. McIntosh does not provide a 4Ohm measure.And that is one the reasons why I did not buy this amp and went with my Marantz reference unit instead. Anyone know the reason why McIntosh does not g... | |
| Ken Bernacky Stereo Surgeons Sorry to hear you got ripped off. But paying anyone up front, in full, before the work is done was your first mistake. Bet you won't do that again.Oh yeah, and never trust anyone that claims to be a god! | |
| What's best bookshelf speaker for an 8x10 room? Without knowing what amplifier you have, it would be impossible to recommend a speaker; even if was being used in a small room. Besides, speakers are so subjective, what sounds good to one person, may not sound good to you. If any component needs ... | |
| Amplifier for VPI Nomad Your Revels are not particularly difficult to drive being 6 Ohm speakers at 90.5 Db sensitivity. There are many solid states choices out there that can get the job done. Also your Nomad already has a built in phono stage so you don't necessarily n... | |
| Suggested Phono Preamp Which Dynavector? They make low and high output models. Ideally the phono preamp is matched to the cartridge you are using or intend to use.But if you're looking for a good phono preamp that can take care of both, along with any other cartridges y... | |
| Amplifier for VPI Nomad So your real question should be "what amp for your Concerta F12's"? Your VPI really doesn't care what amp you use. Your speakers will. Your Revels are fine speakers. So, do want a solid state receiver or a tube integrated? The models you site coul... | |
| Music Hall Ikura vs. Pro-ject 2Xperience Classic You forgot one...Ikura Butt Ugly and 2Xperience Classic Attractive, especially in Mahogany.Sorry, couldn't resist. But everytime I see an Ikura, I just can't come to terms with its styling - all that plastic! But that's me.Seriously though, beside... |
