| Adcom, Acurus or McCormack How about a Power Modules 150A or 350A. Designed by Dave Belles. Check out their website, If interested? Give me an e-mail. Also look in Dec. Stereophile. WWW.POWERMODULES.COM/ You'll be glad you looked. | |
| preamps - vtl tl5.5/rogue 99/linn kairn Sedond, the VAC Standard Preamplifier "Limited Edition" sounds better than the rogue99 or the vtl 5.5. I've not heard the Melos or the Cary though. | |
| Tube Amplifiers? Hiflyer, I suggest an Atma-shere otl. Maybe MA-1MK11 or M-60 MK11. Both you may can find used at a good price(if you're patient) I've tried just about every amp on the earth SS and tube. I was avoiding OTL's because of the bad rep. they have ( tha... | |
| Help learn diff.between SS and Tube Your tube amp should be more holigraphic in it's imaging than the SS amp also. I totally agree w/Tomthompson less over exagerated bass is more realistic. You're just used to the SS amp and it's bass boost. This sells amps to the masses. Not all SS... | |
| Moon W-5 Or Marsh A400 Power amp You may want to consider a Power Modules from Dave Belles. The 350A is excellant, sells for $3500.00,has 250watts and is as musical as it gets. Read in stereophiles Dec. issue. | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less Power Modules 350A,Dave Belles makes a winner here. 250 watts per channel. They sell for $3500.00 new and I doubt you will find a used one. Best solid state i've heard. E-mail me for info. on how to get one, if interested. | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control I second the tube preamp theory. Everything i've heard sounds better through a tube preamp. Much more involving.( I hope I didn't misspell anything audiogon doesn't have spell check. Ha! Ha!) | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control Camelot Uther V2.0 is a great DAC w/ volume and several inputs. It's only 20 BIT, but as good as most 24BIT out there. | |
| Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps? Joe_coherent, Have you compared the Marsh a400 to the Belles 350A? I know that the the Belles 350A is a winner. I don't know much about the tha Marsh a400. But I have had exp. with the the Belles 350A. The Belles 350A is the greatested solid state... | |
| Perpetual Techs P1A DESIGN FLOOR! I had the same problem with P Tech. I sent it back, as I don't want anything to do with a Co. that sends out flawed gear out with the intention that maybe the customer's system will not reveal the flaw. And if it does we'll just send him another. | |
| WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers Some Manufacturers are designing speakers to be used with the covers. I wander why it's taken them this long to figure this out. | |
| Need Help with Speaker Selection I would dump the JM Lab's and the Silverline's. Listen to the other three and choose your preference, all three of these are excellent. By the way I'm a dealer for Soliloquy and Meadowlarks. If you decide either of these two I'll give you price if... | |
| Best Speaker I agree with Blbloom. The Meadowlarks are great. Very musical. | |
| Counterpoint SA 220,Comments anybody? Dkuipers, I have got the Talon Khorus now. I agree with Justlisten concerning the ARC gear.I've just about convinced myself to stay with my VAC PA100/100 or maybe a VTL amp? Thanks again everybody,Phile | |
| High Efficiency 2 way floorstanding or B Meadowlark shearwaters (Hot Rod). Great two way, probably the best. They are only 88db but oh the sound, 25 watt would be enough. |
