| SS amp - which one ??? The SF Power 2 is a 110 lb monster and uses more tubes, and puts out more heat by far than any prior amp I've owned. | |
| SS amp - which one ??? Hello again. I wanted to clarify my post. My current amp is a Sonic Frontiers Power2 amp. Overall, my current set up is the best sounding system I've had but to be honest I have not tried much of what is mentioned above by other Agoners. I'm sure ... | |
| SS amp - which one ??? Thanks to all for the feedback. Another option I just thought of could be a hybrid amp. The Vincent SP331 seems to have steller reviews (for its price point), good power, good bass, layered mids, and is certainly within my budget. Many years back ... | |
| Audibile Illusions, Modulus 3 vs 3A I previously owned a Modulus 3 and purchased it from another Agoner who owned both models. I asked him the same question and he prefered the older 3 modulus. He thought the 3A was not as musical (tube like) even though the 3A offered more detail. ... | |
| Basic Preamp - suggestions? I agree with Bobgates - go for the B&K PT3. Tremendous value for that price plus has a tuner. | |
| Basic Preamp - suggestions? My friend has B&K gear. The preamp is a CS-117 model wih built in phono section; not sure on the amp model. He runs Paradigm Monitor 9s and has a Pro-ject Debut III table. He acquired the B&K preamp for around $170 used. For money spent it... | |
| VTL 2.5 preamp not too shabby (Shakey) I do not appreciate your comment '... almost laughable'. There's no need to knock someones choice in gear. The purpose of the Forum is to share information and offer support. If if you feel this way about my Power 2 amp there's certainly ... | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? 3 or 4 years ago I started having issues with occassional ringing in the ears. Too many concerts and amp/eqs in the cars I owned in my younger days. I now wear hearing protection - for all power tools.....yard work.... and play my stereo at modera... | |
| Recommend a cd player About 2 years ago I acquired a Jolida JD-100 Underwood Lvl1 mods -tube cd player for around $675 here on Agon. I've been very happy with it. | |
| Where to buy a good quality wall wart Jameco.com is another one | |
| Amp to compliment Sonic Frontiers pre?? Hello,I'm doing the opposite. I picked up a SF Power 2 amp a few years back. I've recently acquired a VTL 2.5 preamp and like the match. I primarily use a Jolida tube cd player for source. The SF amp leans on the analytical side but with careful m... | |
| VTL 2.5 preamp not too shabby Bottom line is that I prefer 'tube' sound, but not overly tubey. The SF amp is not really tube like but mates very well with the VTL 2.5. Certainly sounds tube like yet with good bottom end and snappy dynamics. I'll be keeping this preamp for a wh... | |
| VTL 2.5 preamp not too shabby My version has the plastic remote. I will acquire some 12AT7 Mullards soon and give those a shot.The VTL 2.5 (line stage only) just replaced a TAD 150 Signature which is also a nice preamp for the price range. The TAD had slightly wider sound stag... | |
| Speaker upgrade to go with new Arcam AVR 600? Check out QUAD 22L2 speakers. | |
| Vintage loudspeakers....Sleeper models.... Well, not sure what qualifies as vintage but I had a pair of Mirage M7si speakers (made almost 20 years ago), also a pair of M5si prior to that. Some consider the Mirage 'M' series speakers their best effort. These speakers were very well made - q... |
