| Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot Thank you all once again. And, as a correction, I meant that the amp is 60 watts, and the speakers are 4 Ohms, my bad. I will definitely look into the recommendations. | |
| Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot Schubert, how do I know if an amp is stable to 2 Ohms? Any you can recommend used under $1000? Thanks | |
| Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot Thanks for the feedback! I think my budget would be maximum $700-900 used. I have heard that the Totems are harder to drive. With that said, what is a more efficient, 8 ohm speaker that the Parasound I have would not struggle driving? Or is there ... | |
| Best Speakers For Electronica Music Thank you all very much for the excellent feedback and sound advice (literally). I think I will definitely consider getting a sub for now, then eventually looking at all of the brands you all recommended. Thanks everyone. | |
| Squeezebox 3 As A Preamp? Thanks for all your responses. I agree with R1_jazz's response, I came to the conclustion that it is too risky to run directly from the SB3 because of the glitches in the volume control, which would risk blowing the speakers with a high-powered am... | |
| Squeezebox 3 As A Preamp? What I mean is, being that the Squeezebox 3 has in internal volume control/preamp built in, could I not use it as the preamp and just get a high quality amp? Or does it make more sense to still get a preamp and use my NAD 3155 integrated as just a... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Trends Audio 10.1 integrated amp. I have had other integrated amps like the Rega Brio 3, Krell KAV-300i, and Cambridge Audio 540C V.2, and this tiny thing keeps up very well with them all. I would not say that it sounds better, but it sounds very ... | |
| Pre-amping a Trends Audio TA 10.1? How do you set up a preamp to the TA 10.1? I am assuming thtat it is simply just running the RCA's to the TA 10.1. Is it that simple? Where would you leave the volume at on the TA 10.1, or is it over ridden by the preamp volume? I would like to ge... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? I am in the same predicament you are in, I own Mordaunt Short Festival Series 2 from the early 80's that seem to sound really good for the most part. What I am wondering though is if, because these are the only speakers I have had in my place with... | |
| Preamp/amp far superior to just int. amp.? Hello Rich,The Mira 3 sounds excellent so far. I am a big fan of Rega, but some day when I have more money I am going to try out other manufacturers to compare, such as Naim, Prima Luna, Krell, Mark Levinson, etc. For now, with my budget and small... | |
| Preamp/amp far superior to just int. amp.? I took everyone's advice and upgraded to a Rega Mira 3. No seperates for now, just the Rega quality integrated. | |
| Preamp/amp far superior to just int. amp.? Rich:Excellent response to my question. I really appreciate your insight and I will definitely take it to heart and keep my integrated for now until I can eventually audition some tube equipment. Until then, I will buy a DAC for my Squeezebox and/... | |
| Rega Saturn and Apollo-How good are they?? I listened to the Apollo in a showroom with a Rega Brio 3 int. amp., Rega R3's, and Chord Company interconnects and speaker cable and it sounded amazing. I just heard it again today because I am considering switching out my speakers for new ones a... | |
| help me build a system for $1200 I would go with a Rega Brio 3 int. amp. and build from there. I auditioned plenty of int. amps and the Brio 3 was the best for the money, and a lot of audiophile magazines are saying the same thing. I have built an excellent budget system around t... | |
| Options to upgrade from Cambridge Integrated I had the same integrated amp and I liked it, although it didn't "blow me away" like I was expecting it to. So, I returned it and purchased the Rega Brio 3 and I am completely amazed at how great it sounds, it is much, much better than the experie... |
