| Small Floorstander? +1 For Spendor. Own the A4s, small and easy to move, great punch in the low end. Warm mids, and just flat out beautiful sounding. | |
| Do you have a defining musical moment from your early years? Christmas, when I was in 5th grade, I received a Sony Discman and a copy of Beck's ODELAY. It was the only CD I owned for about a month, so naturally it was overplayed. I remember writing down all the songs' lyrics and trying to figure out their... | |

| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? jwh2I owned the Lyngdorf 2170 and Micromega M100. My quick take - Lyngdorf has better room correction, the Micromega just flat out sounded better to me. More power and control over the speakers, and a richer tone.But.....as mentioned above, room... | |
| Help with picking new integrated for under 3k OP,I'm guessing you have an older version of the AppleTV that has optical output? If that's the case, the the Musical Fidelity probably wouldn't be a good fit, as it only has USB input for digital.You also have a pretty nice phono preamp, so you w... | |
| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? A member I know got a great deal on a lightly used ph10 and psu10 together. They had owned just the ph10 previously so had some baseline to compare. Their thoughts were it helped a little but might not be worth an $1100 purchase as an upgrade... | |

| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I started off with the Pro-Ject Tube box as well. It was pretty decent, especially considering its cost. Moved on to the iFi iPhono 2, and then a Parasound JC3 JR.Each was a step up in SQ, but just a little bit each time.Then I found the Gold No... | |
| RIP Mark Hollis of Talk Talk True genius. When I was teenager, a Tower Records employee recommended Laughing Stock, so I bought on a whim. Completely changed my outlook, and taste of music.His albums will be cherished by many forever. | |
| Upgrading Integrated Amplifier - Musical Fidelity? I like Cambridge as well, I've owned the CXA80, but it does not include a phono input. | |
| Upgrading Integrated Amplifier - Musical Fidelity? Check out the Marantz PM7005. Just a bit over your budget, but you can find them used for less.There's also a used PM6006 on here, for under you budget. | |
| Bluetooth headphones: are there any? If you're using a cell phone as source, and you have an iPhone then make sure the BlueTooth headphones specifically state they are ACC compatible. Most of the newer models are, but always good to double check.If you're using a Droid phone, and it... | |
| Denon PMA-2500NE or similar "do it all" integrated in US? @ron325 I'm a little late to this post, but I just recently purchased the 1600ne model. Honestly, blown away doesn't even cover it.I've owned many integrateds in the $1k-$5k price range, and the Denon is by far my favorite. The DAC is fantastic,... | |
