| Audiophiles and apartments: Oil and water? I respect the space and play my stereos at low to moderate volumes within the generally accepted hours (8AM to 10PM). I also would not use a subwoofer of any kind as it transmits vibrations, which are more annoying than sound. I am also the Coop p... | |
| integrated tube amp recommendations, with remote You could consider the Prima Luna Prologue 4 power amp ($1145) and pair it with a Creek passive preamplifier for $500. The Creek would fit alongside the Prima Luna pretty easily on a shelf. All in, it would cost new $1645. I think that you would... | |
| Help me put a system together for under $1k.

| Looking for budget reciever for second system. Eccbo:Given that you live in St Vincent ... are the brands that you listed above (as well as Marantz) the only ones that you can audition? Quite frankly at $300 your options are pretty limited if you are buying new and are buying a locally availab... | |

This particular model is well built; offers good sound; and does more things right than wrong, as it gets the trickle down from its bigger brothers in the line.

| Tube pre- or amp: does it matter? I did it the opposite way, as I already owned a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24, which is a solid state preamp/CD player combo. I replaced a Musical Fidelity A300 power amp with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 tube amp.With a tube power amp (36wpc), I notice t... | |
| DVD recorders as players? I had read somewhere that +RW and +R were the way to go in both terms of performance and compatibility with more DVD players ... don't remember why though. Regards, Rich | |
| DVD recorders as players? The SONY records to -/+ RW and not RAM. The Panansonics tend to record to RAM. The quality of the recordings is very good, but is dependent on the recording speed chosen (not unlike VHS recording). Convenience of recording is average ... not the m... | |
| DVD recorders as players? Some DVD player/recorders are better than others at DVD playback. So yes, a player may have an advantage over a player/recorder. The British magazine, What Hi Fi, will do these DVD recorder shoot-outs from time to time and they pay close attention... | |
| Are these damned brands or not good speakers? Newly:It's like anything else ... purchase from a well known or at least better known company and have access to product, service, support, predictability, reputation, R&D; etc. or purchase from a boutique company and get possibly better or mo... | |

| Nice looking - for living room? It sounds like your wife wants something that is inconspicious, given how it is going to be used. Why not consider an all in one piece like the Arcam Solo which is solid state or the Audio Analogue Enigma which uses tubes. Either piece will ru... | |
