| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 I would not recommend Marantz or Luxman - never had much luck with those. Luxman seem to smooth the highs so they are glossy and Marantz sound dull like a vintage sound and current Marantz quality is not good (just look at the MM7025 and the poor ... | |
| Technics 3200 to Marshall Stanmore You need a phono preamp between your TT and your all in one Marshall speaker system. Because a phono stage is the one thing your Marshall doesn't have. Phono preamps start at around 50 bucks up to 5 figures.Connect the two RCA leads and ground w... | |
| MMF-7 or VPI Traveler As an owner of a VPI Traveler V2, I think you would find this TT a big step up from your current MMF-7. It was for me. My Traveler replaced a Pro-ject 5.1SE which was more similar to your Music Hall than different. And while I enjoyed the Pro-... | |
| Worth Upgrading Marantz 1504 AV Receiver with Power Amp? Yes, adding a power amp to your AVR will be a huge improvement and one that you will immediately hear. The Parasound A23 will be a very good choice.But do you need an AVR at all? If you only listen to 2 channels, then I suggest getting rid of it... | |

| Shopping for new speakers The SF Venere 2.5's are certainly a good match as far as your amps being able to drive them are concerned. You would have no problems.Whether they are a good match for your ears is another matter. So have you heard them and like them? If you ha... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers Big +1 to bcgator’s comments. Suggest you read his post again to help you achieve what you are looking forYour MA’s are very nice speakers but hardly accurate and a new integrated, especially one 2 to 3 times more expensive, isn’t going to change ... | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? But, is there any advise someone could give me? I want to get a pair of good stereo speakers for $2000 or less. There are literally hundreds of very good speakers that are at or below your budget.So I suggest a pair speakers that can be properl... | |
| Recommendations for used/vintage integrated for vinyl Don't buy budget. Invest in quality. As I said in my previous post, longevity and resale value can still be found. You just need to know what brands and where to look. Once you know what pieces you're interested in, wait for closeouts, open box ... | |
| Recommendations for used/vintage integrated for vinyl I am about to get a Thorens 160 in excellent condition in trade for some of my unused recording studio gear and I would like to get an older integrated of at least 100 watts 8ohm to go with it. I would like to stay away from brand new because I w... | |

| An all Parasound system - Good idea? I have told him focus on speakers first, then source components.Focusing on speakers first and then finding an amp to properly drive them is a generally sound advice but in this case, an A21 will pretty much drive any speaker he is likely to fall ... | |
| Best of both worlds? (Relatively speaking) Using it as a pre-amp, then sending it through the A/V amp seems to take some life away.I am not the least bit surprised. If you truly want the best of both worlds, I would ditch the Pioneer AVR entirely as that's what holding all your music bac... | |
