| Amp Recommendations: 2 Ohm Stable, ~300+ watts, and small... Crown XLS1502. $400 and 400+ wpc. Weight about 9 lbs.! Probably sounds as good as any four-figure Class D boutique amp! | |
| anbody ever hear of an outfit called dynagroove records? So all you RCA collectors, pass on those horrid Dynagroove LPs and check any Dynaflexs' for warpage! | |
| anbody ever hear of an outfit called dynagroove records? After Dynagroove failed to increase sales, RCA came up with another dubious scheme: Dynaflex. Pressing LPs with HALF (or less) the amount of vinyl! Supposedly to prevent warpage due to shipping! These actually can sound quite decent, as long as th... | |
| anbody ever hear of an outfit called dynagroove records? +1 bdp24! RCA's failed attempt to improve the sound by altering the EQ during the process of cutting the master. None of the resulting LPs made from this method sound good! Worthless junk, IMO! The record jackets stated on the fronts "Dynagroove". | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Johnny Winter at the Terrace Club in Stamford, CT (about a mile from my house) back in '93 (forget the month!). Not as good a performance as when I saw him at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY in August '91! A true legend of a guitar slinger... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. And from out of left field we have a speaker which few on Agon have heard or owned: the Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinder! Speaking from ownership experience these will kill everything mentioned above - and no need for any sub woofers! Incredible 3-D sound... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. +1 yogiboy! Yeah, but they sure have gotten expensive! I am glad to have gotten my Rogers cheap (under $1K) from a seller in Lithuania - of all places! | |
| can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp Buy a Soundcraftsman or SAE multi-band equalizer! | |
| Help me pick a turntable set up This is what I have presently in use: Pioneer PLX1000 with a Denon103R mc cartridge ($700 + $300 = $1K). Going into a Denon SUT and RGR 4 preamp ($400 combo bought used). Excellent SQ - musically satisfying! | |
| Should I add a Preamp to my system And you certainly do not need to spend $4K for an excellent preamp! | |
| Should I add a Preamp to my system Buy a preamp only for its phono stage and switching options if you want to listen to LPs! Otherwise if you only listen to digital no need for a preamp! | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. LS3/5A - designed to work in a recording van. | |
| Problems with Paypal payment? I have made hundreds of transactions via PayPal with NO problems! | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Regarding tube amps: unless they have an output impedance BELOW 1 ohm they will have a non-flat response when coupled to a speaker with a non-flat impedance curve (most of them). Ohm's Law applies here - not the untutored blather of the typical "g... | |
