| Preamp recommendation $300: see desired features You can get NAD 1600 pre/tuner's with remote for around $200 used. Older model, but I really like the sound of the older NAD stuff. Smooth and sweet, but very little sound stage compared to more expensive equipment. I am listening to mine in my of... | |
| new to tuners I have vintage 80's NAD equipment in my office. NAD tuners of that era are respectable and fairly cheap. Not good for AM however. | |
| MF A3.2 Preamp worthy upgrade to the Anthem TLP1? Sanjay,I have both the MF A3cr and A3.2cr. In my opinion, they are great pre amps! Not just for the price. I don't have any experience with Anthem equipment, but I have had both Audio Research and Conrad Johnson entry level tube pre amps. The MF i... | |
| Looking for preamp to go with my NAD 2400 I have a musical fidelity A3cr pre amp in great shape you can have for $675. It is a great preamp for the money and mates with a variety of amps. Would be a huge upgrade from your NAD 7140 as a pre. That said, I have also owned Conrad Johnson's pv... | |
| Warm interconnects recommendation I have found Synergistic Research actively sheilded alpha and kaliedescope cables to match very well in my system. I have Musical Fidelity electronics and B & W 802 matrix speakers. The cables were just warm enough to keep the system from bein... | |
| Coolest looking vintage tuner..... I like my 1973 Kenwood 8005. Big, bold, silver/copper face. To each his own. Listening to it right now. | |
| What preamp should I buy ? I love my Musical Fidelity A3cr. I think it is a great pre at that price range. The 3.2 is suppose to be better and could still be had for a grand. | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Hi Chris,In the budget cables, I have always liked some of the older Audioquest stuff. I originally had AQ Crystal as my introduction to decent but cheap cable. Currently have some midnight and cobalt versions unused in the basement. Audio Advisor... | |
| Which warm sounding cd player for under $400? In my humble opinion, the Music Hall CD25 is a great player in this price range.Regards,Paul | |
| Guilty Pleasures? I can't believe no one has mentioned Barry Manilow! I even named my daughter Mandy, but told her it was after the Boston song (which came out two years after she was born) | |
| Tuners that do it? I purchased a Kenwood KT8300 here on Audiogon and had it shipped directly to Don Scott who cleaned, aligned and modified it. It is a great piece that I enjoy very much. I see two KT 8300's on sale on Agon now. I agree with Warnerwh. Go to fmtuneri... | |
| B&W and Musical Fidelity I use the A3cr pre/pwr combo with B&W 802 matrix series 3. I think they are a very good fit as long as I don't try to crank it to loud. The 802's are a demanding load. The MF has plenty of current but is only 120 watts. The 802's could handle ... | |
| Good match for Adcom 555? I have a very nice pair of Spica TC-60's in Oak that you can have for $400 plus shipping. They are in very good shape and I am the original owner. Imaging champs that work well with solid state amps like the Adcom. Let me know if you are intereste... | |
| Musichall 2.1 or Project 1.2? I may have an mmf 5 availble. If you are interested drop me a note. I feel Music Hall has done a great job of taking basic Project tables and tweaking them to be slightly better at very good prices. Yes you can spend much more, but you will not be... | |
| Best speakers under $650 I still like the Spica TC-60 for under $500 used. Has a magical quality that few speakers can match. Best on vocal, chamber, jazz etc but has enough punch to play classic rock, just don't try to play it to loud.Paul |
