| Is there somewhere I can check vinyl sound quality? Are you buying new or used? Its been my experience that most of the new 180 gram reissues are sorely lacking in sound quality compared to original pressings. That's why I attend as many used records shows as possible and go to used records shops... | |
| Thoughts on Marantz AV8802a vs Rotel RSP 1582 To reinforce mgreen's position, serious 2 channel HiFi and HT stuff are two different worlds. And the biggest difference is usually found in the stereo preamp section of a good HiFi system. The preamp section in an AVR or a TOTL pre/pro like you... | |
| PSB Imagine T3 Floor‑Standing Speakers They are very nice speakers and its great that someone will allow an in-home trial for the cost of return shipping. Once they are opened and they are used and will have to be resold as an open box item. Paying for return shipping seems fair.And ... | |
| Thoughts on Marantz AV8802a vs Rotel RSP 1582 but 2 channel is REALLY important. Thanks in advance........If 2 channel is really important than get either pre/pro and another piece of equipment - a 2 channel analog preamp with an HT Bypass function. There are many available. Connect your ... | |
| How often is your system "good"? Just like you should never buy a car that was built on a Monday or a Friday, my system always acts like a lemon on these two days. Rest of the week, its just fine. | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart I rarely play CD's anymore, almost exclusively listen to vinyl, way more fun, toe tapping and engagingGlad to hear you have embraced vinyl again. Like you, this is my go to medium for 95% of my music listening. Not necessarily because it sounds ... | |
| Ortofon 2M Bronze vs 2M black any difference? I am not aware of any internal wiring differences, With the exception of the stylus and extended high frequency response of the Black, all other critical specs are the same. | |
| Help me pick an Integrated for Tannoy XT6F Your Tannoys are nice speakers and will not be difficult to drive. You did not indicate new or used, so I will assume new. One unit immediately comes to mind and that's the Marantz PM8005. At exactly $1200 new, it has everything your looking fo... | |
| Ortofon 2M Bronze vs 2M black any difference? The difference is in the stylus. The Bronze uses a Nude Fine Line with a frequency response of 20-29K Hz and the Black uses a nude Shibata with a response up 31K Hz. Other than this, every other spec the same.Whether you can hear a difference wo... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions for Dynaudio Contour 3.4LE I would recommend listening to the Marantz PM-11S3 if you can find one before they are all gone. Very conservatively rated, in you price range, and can drive Dynaudios effortlessly while giving that sweet Marantz sound.+1 to the above suggestion.I... | |
| Luxman L-550ax vs. L-350 AII The L-550ax is made in Japan and the L-350II is made in China. There's your difference in cost. | |
| Yamaha A-s2100 vs A-s1100 S/N ratios are higher by several decibels on the A-S2100 too. | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions I would be looking for an amp within my budget that could properly drive my speakers. So what speakers do you have?Also, are you looking for an integrated amp or power amp? | |
| Rotel over Integra? I hate to rain on this parade, but the OP said he wants a 2 channel system so I sure hope he has not bought a Marantz 5007 yet because that is an AVR. Not really suited for music. Not really hi-fi either. And why are you looking at another AVR? Pr... | |
