| 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... | |
| room treatment I second GIK Acoustics. I just added 5 of their 244 panels and the results have been excellent. Very helpful staff and excellent prices. | |
| Any Aesthetix Calypso VS Cary SLP-05 comparison? I currently have the Calypso and like it a lot. It appears you've got yours rolled with the ultimate NOS Mullard 10M's... so I'm assuming you've maximized the sound of your Calypso, and your still not completely satisfied? While I have no experien... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Power Cord I use a Cardas Golden Ref. PC with my Calypso. No complaints. | |
| Looking for the "better sub" That's a large room. I'd recommend either the REL Stadium or Aerial SW-12. | |
| REL R-Series vs. B Series I can't speak to which series is better for your application, although I would say the B series is a better quality sub, and better suited for pure audio appications, and the R series is better suited for home theater. However, if I understand you... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck. Does anyone know if the spider puck would work with my Capitole 24/192?Also, how/where does one purchase the Electrocompaniet spider puck. |
