| Consonance A120 vs. Jolida JD1501RC integrated amp I have the Jolida JD1501RC in a secondary system paired with Dynaudio 52 monitors and a Pioneer Elite DVD player. It's been trouble free and offers decent bang for the buck. Sound is smooth & fatigue free, with good bass, but rolled off highs.... | |
| On a scale of 1-5 three / four | |
| $1000 upgrade budget- cdp or speaker? CDP would be my first move. Apollo & Cary 308T are both strong contenders. | |
| Which amps have 2 sets binding posts per channel Plinius SA series amps have two sets of binding posts for each channel. I've owned several Plinius pieces and found all of them to be a great value on the used market. The SA series also provide the option of running in either Class A or Class A/B. | |
| Speaker suggestions for Pass Labs x250? Dynaudio C1 ($4,500 used).... a robust & very well respected monitor that would be a good fit for your room & equipment. | |
| Just purchased Usher Be-718. Need Help with Setup Sound Anchors are a "can't miss" choice. | |
| Has anyone tried Simaudio pre with Plinius amp? You don't mention your budget, but I can recommend the Aesthetix Calypso with NOS tubes (Telefunken 12AX7's or Mullard CV4004's). Can be had for approx. $3,200 used. | |
| How often do you swap out equipment in general I've had my amp and CDP for approx. 1 year... speakers and preamp are relatively new additions, going on 3 months. I'm low on $$$ right now, so I'll make an occassional small purchase ($300 or so) on tube rolling till I get another large infusion ... | |
| Is the market changeing? I don't see the prices necessarily dropping, however, it does appear that things are not selling as quickly in the past, especially on higher dollar gear. It's a buyers market IMHO. | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? Listen to the "I Am Sam" soundtrack... many good Beatles covers on it. | |
| Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ? Sorry to muddy the waters... but I'd be looking at the REL Stadium or Aerial SW-12. | |
| BAT vk300x Special edition and dynaudio C2 I think the BAT will be fine with the C2's. I too upgraded from Dyn. 1.3SE's to the C2's and can highly recommend it. The upgrade is quite signficant. I've since moved up another rung to C4's... I'm done for a while ;-) | |
| Looking for $20k system for Mahler No 6 My blatantly biased suggestion...Speakers - Dynaudio C4's ($9K used)Amp - Plinius SA 102 ($2.8K used)Pre - Aesthetix Calypso... w/good NOS tubes ($3.3K used)Digital - choose from Audio Aero, Esoteric, Accuphase, Ayre ($4K used)Room Treatments from... | |
| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... I've never owned a tube amp, although I'll likely make the plunge eventually. However, I've owned a Plinius SA 102 amp (140 WPC in class A) for approx. 14 months, and have never had any problems with it heating up my 15' x 20' x 7' room. Yes, the ... | |
| SP Tech Timepiece 3.0-Dynaudio C1 comparison? I'm not familiar with the SP Techs... but I've owned C2's and currently own C4's, both of which are respectable speakers. Probably can't go wrong with the C1's, as long as you've got decent amplification and can live with pulling them approx. 4 to... |
