| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Matti, why do you find the Rowland recommendation confusing? Is it because the Rowland 5, which I recommended, will deliver 600wpc into a 2 ohm load and it might be too much power for the Stage? Honestly, Aragon is nothing more than a glorified mi... | |
| what's better than a milk crate? lol Currently on Audiogon: 1 Pair Atlantis 15 inch steel speaker stands, $45 obo. There is more than one opinion on speaker stands. Most audiophiles will tell you to raise the speakers so the tweeter is at ear level. By doing this you are moving the s... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Unsound, I don't think Loveitloud is going to get a recent Rowland class D amp that fits into his budget of under $2000. | |
| Need advice on next step Any CJ preamp would be the natural match. You just missed 3 reasonably priced CJ preamps here on Audiogon. A Sonographe SC-1 for $260. This is probably the preamp sold with your amp. A PV-6 for $300 and a PV-11 for $750. By sticking with the same ... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Class D would be fine for your second system Clavil, but there is no class D amplifier in the same league as the Rowland. Besides, the Rowland 5 and the Stages are the same vintage. Apogee and Rowland sound wonderful together. A lot has changed. D... | |
| what's better than a milk crate? lol Hello tiger, I need a little more info about your speakers like how many drivers, the size of the drivers and their configuration ie: is this a 2 way? Where is the tweeter located? And so on. | |
| VTL 2.5 vs. ARC SP3A-1 or SP8MkII I have owned the ARC SP3A-1 and the SP8 MKII preamps and I can tell you they are totally different. I have not owned the VTL 2.5, but I have owned the VTL Deluxe and the VTL Ultimate preamp. None of these preamps have anything in common with each ... | |
| Covered my TV...What next? Do whatever you can do to improve the sound with my prior suggestions before you spend any money. You may be satisfied with the sound without buying anything. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Jeff Rowland Model 5 is your perfect match. Currently listed on Audiogon for $1600. | |
| Help with Marantz 4270 quadradial Xiekitchen, True, most all vintage solid state receivers provide A-B speaker switching and when both pairs of speakers are driven the sound is degraded. | |
| Are all Coax digital transports the same? I have always been amazed at how the sound takes on the character of the transport. | |
| Covered my TV...What next? Edge, You have an awesome room. I am sure many Audiogon members are jealous after reading about your 25'x23' room, I know I am. Actually I have a pretty good size room too and it is nice because big rooms offer a big sound. You may have opened a h... | |
| Power Cords Pokey, Read "Shorten those lengthy power cords?" 2-08-10. | |
| sonic frontiers sfl-1 or bryston 11b ? Mati, You are welcome. Let me know how you like the SFL-1 when you get it. | |
| Shorten those lengthy power cords? Schipo, You are right. It is unfortunate so many audiophiles make an insignificate change like a power cord and hear a difference and most of the time any change is perceived as an improvement. I recently read a posting from a guy that was willing... |
