| New Parasound JC1+ vs Used/Like-new Mark Levinson No 536 - under $18k I have heard good reviews on JC 1+ and can get new one for the same price as used No 536 .... The JC1s are very nice sounding amps, good match for 802D3. | |
| 6H30 replacement The Tubestore shows E-H and Sovtek tubes. You might also try Audio Research they use that tube in a lot of their gear. | |
| All In One CD Player and Speakers Try to find a NIB Bose Wave Please don't, they are awful. My father had the large double stack one and some music was unintelligible. They lack a full frequency range so some music is missing so much information it is unlistenable. Buy the 99 b... | |
| Favorite Horn Jam Big Latin Band, Henry Mancini. Still a favorite. | |
| [Tube Preamp][Need Help]Could you suggest a tube preamp matched with a SS AMP? You might just want to get an integrated amp. | |
| Hegel H590 with BW 800D I wasn't sure if something like the H590 would have sufficient "power" to meet that standard. It's a good stout amp, no worries. 800wpc is a whole different deal but that type of system is for the seriously dedicated guys. | |
| All In One CD Player and Speakers I'm not really up to speed on the new stuff but what you want is a bluetooth radio and you can stream music from your playlist, pandora, or any radio station in the world. Amazon has a ton of them. You don't want to juggle CDs while you are in the... | |
| Oppo UDP-203 My Oppo 203 sounds the same no matter what disc it plays and it sounds pretty darn good. | |
| Recommended Power Amps For Focal Sopra 2 Towers. $10K Budget. GO Get a Parasound Halo JC5 and cable them up and enjoy! ....or an A31 if you need 3 channels. | |
| Hegel H590 with BW 800D That should work fine. You could do a lot worse. | |
| Cartridge incompatibility, Soundsmith and Luxman I can't recommend a particular cartridge but the right outboard phono preamp will give you the adjustments you need to keep your current cartridge or any future cartridge. Perhaps a high output MC will work better for you. Personally I would not h... | |
| Cartridge incompatibility, Soundsmith and Luxman but I'm not going to add SUT with additional cables and all that complexity. It's the best option and makes your system future proof. It's not that complex and you can stash the preamp anywhere. | |
| Help matching am to Kef 104/2 The Rogue Sphinx 2 is a pretty good unit. Changing to a PrimaLuna as example will not get you much if any improvement. You would be getting something different but not necessarily better. Your loudspeakers are the weak link, the Sphinx can support... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Doubtful there are many other brands that will hold their value as well as McIntosh No problem with you liking the Mac gear. But resale value has nothing to do with sound quality. Perhaps a relation to build quality but perhaps not the top tier... |
