| the cart or the horse? The Omega 7's are the hidden jewels of the Omega line. Go for a quality hybrid tube integrated ... Rogue Sphinx 3 (new @$1600) ... and you should be in business. Stereophile review - Rogue Sphinx Sphinx Info Sheet Rich | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice 6 X 9 rooms ... sounds like the 8 X 10 room I had in an apartment in Astoria years back. I used a Marantz 2216B receiver with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s and a bare bones TEAC CD player and it was pretty damn nice. If you want that vintage look, I ... | |
| ACUSTAT MODEL X Hi - The manuals do seem to be available with a little digging - http://www.audiocircuit.com/Home-Audio/Acoustech/X http://www.hifi-manuals.com/Acoustat/X/downloads There also seem to be some YouTube videos out there. Best regards, Rich | |
| Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement Just curious ... how would floor standers not work in a 420 square foot room, unless the room is naturally divided (bed area, sitting area, on suite bath)? You would be talking a 21 X 20 room. Even if that were the case, slimline floor stande... | |
| Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement Placement on top of a dresser or even on top of a bookcase, will yield much better results than inside a bookcase. Inside a bookcase leads to a box inside a box situation and that is just tough to work around. I have had speakers placed in this ... | |
| amplifier longevity I have a Rogue Audio Sphinx in use for the last year with no reliability issues. But you would expect that after a year. I have two Prima Luna tube amps in use, a Prologue Two Integrated and a Prologue Five Power Amp, with absolutely zero issues... | |
| No more Zu Dirty Weekends replacement suggestions Hi - There is a pair of the Zu Omen floor standers in the ads. One up the line from the DWs. Rich https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaec38-zu-audio-omen-full-range | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? @flasd - yes, you are going to hear a big difference. How could you not hear a big difference given the two very different turntables & associated equipment that was in use? Two questions (at least) - Is the difference worth what you are abo... | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? The pettiness & snipping is getting to be something else around here. Given everything we have heard about supply chain shortages (hell there are prescriptions I need that I can not get), why take aim at anyone or anything? In any event, p... | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? Some random observations, 1) your choice of amplifier, especially if you are considering a class D amp, will be very speaker dependent. In my case, I was driving a pair of Opera Platea's with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 (primary system) and tried... | |
| The Sun Sets On Omen Dirty Weekends It's a bit of a bummer. I purchased a pair just about 3 years ago & absolutely love them. Zu Audio seems to be re-working its offerings as the two bookshelf models are no longer advertised on its web-site. For a grand, the DWers were an ey... | |
| How much should I pay for 2nd hand Opera Quinta SE Hi - Big fan of Opera speakers. I still have a pair of Opera Platea's. The Quinta SEs were/ are a USD 6K speaker new. Opera speakers come with a 5 year warranty, so would these speakers still be covered under the warranty, assuming that they... | |
| Desk top speakers at low cost I like this model in the Kanto line quite a bit. They also make a smaller version (YU2). https://www.kantoaudio.com/powered-speakers/yu4/ | |
| KLH DA 1402 CD Changer, other models: Info??? Only a guess, but the KLH CD players were most likely manufactured by some OEM and then re-badged as KLH.KLH stopped being the KLH of respected audio manufacturers at least 40 years ago. KLH comes after Acoustic Research and before Advent. CD pl... | |
| fisher stereo Keep in mind that the older stereo compacts with RCA jacks for the speakers were rarely that powerful. Not sure what speakers you were planning to use, but they would need to be fairly efficient. Good luck. I had a SONY HP161 compact in HS &... |
