| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? Thanks very much for all your suggestions. I had the VTL S200 a while ago and I loved the sound but I found it a bit temperamental and I found dealing with the company not the easiest thing in the world. They do make a wonderful product. But it is... | |

| Disadvantages of buying old solid state. I bought an ARC pre new. And for some reason I have in my head it will sound better used fully balanced rather than single ended. People have praised how wonderful it sounds with an 80s or 160m but unfortunately at this time those are not in my bu... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... I have very limited experience compared to a lot of people here but I've heard all three in my system and one was the clear winner. I would agree pre amp is the most important thing which has had the greatest effect on my system. | |
| For lovers of the 1961 West Side Story soundtrack lp. 'The recent film was a surprise for me. Much better than I expected and I thought musically wonderful. | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Definitely audition the xa-25 if you like Pass. I had the 350.8 and loved it but it was like have a storage freezer in my small living room. I also found it hard to move when I wanted to change things and it has its own air space. The xa sounds w... | |
| Allnic h-3000 power supply issue You want a big jump in sound? Add in the HA3000 head amp. No need for the other stuff unless that makes it even better. But then that would give you more glory when you've already had enough. | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? Speakers and pre-amp. Analogue get yourself a fabulous quality cartridge that costs a fortune(you need to come into money for this) they really are better and a great phono stage. | |
| Anybody have strong opinions about the ARC ref 6 versus the ref 6SE? 'If you want more info, go to the audio aficionado forum. Preamps like the Ref 6/ SE are average preamps among members…' That's interesting because in that price range I thought it was considered among the best. No way can I afford a Boulder or D... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? Yes the pre has them. So it would be rcas from the amp, which is all it has, to the rcas on the pre, which has both rcas and balanced. I could also use the neutrix adapters which avanti above suggested. 'At the amp I use a neutrik female XLR t... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears In Rodzinski's Nutcracker on Westminster one of my all time favorite recordings and I'm not even a fan of the work! but it is just so splendid, the moment where in the middle of the night when the Christmas Tree grows. The music is so exciting and... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? @avanti1960 So you’re saying a female balanced adapter on the arc pre from the pass rca could work out better than se to se? | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? What shape are they in, are they saleable? Many widows are getting rid of their husbands collections So the market could be glutted except for the prized stuff so you might have some work on your hands to go through everyone. Would this guy even ... | |
| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. Thanks for your resonses. The phono stage I am using now is an inexpensive pro-ject after selling off a beautiful Allnic in frustration. But through the help of a friend I was able to try various stages and found the exact same problem. I have t... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Have an LG 86" which I like very much. Can’t imagine anything smaller for my relatively small living room and I don’t even consider it very big for my space. Kind of wish I had gotten a projector for 120".Robert Harris the great film restorer(Lawr... |
