| Amp Search and Upgrade The normal path is to add an amp and use the Integrated as a preamp. | |
| If you had to downsize to smaller, more buget... agwca, I have downsized once. From a giant multi amp system to much more simple systems. I think downsizing is a mistake (I went back to a big system). You want the best system you can afford that fits into the space you have available. That's the... | |
| What does a subwoofer solve? Your loudspeakers are -6db at 28 hz. I can't guess the 3db point but a good sub will be flat into the low 20s. There still is some information down there that is worth exploring. | |
| Replacement for Carver Crimson 275 to drive Maggi .7’s Parasound ZPre3 I understand that pre to be half decent. I think you can use it for now. | |
| Rega Brio weird sound Cornwall 4 If the hiss is constant (doesn’t go up or down when adjusting volume) then it’s noise from the amp. The Brio has 40 db of gain, not a good mix with Cornwalls, I think. The Cornwalls really deserve a better amp. I would not put the... | |
| If you had to downsize to smaller, more buget... Downsize in price and size? If smaller, how small is smaller. What price is less? What do you have now? | |

They can suck up the power pretty quick. I think you would be happy with a Parasound A21 or A21+. | |
| $1500 tube amp for La Scalas? would the passive Schitt SYS preamp work ok for the time being for the volume control? With the right tube amp...maybe but I'd start thinking about a tube preamp, perhaps a Schitt Freya+. The LaScalas won't be their best without really good stu... | |
| Rega Brio weird sound And it have this annoing hiss. It sounds like your unit might be defective. | |
| Magnepan LRS with JC 1s Get the 1.7s and start getting a big taste of what a Magnepan can do. Make sure you are willing and able to pull them out 4 or 5 feet, same for the LRS. | |
| Tuner choice Yes, there are better tuners out there than the Dynaco. I see that Magnum Dynalabs has used units for sale. | |
| Empirical Evidence?...the gap between subjective and objective I Studied under Julian. Very cool. I read Stereo Review for decades, it wasn't until the underground Stereophile rag came out that I saw a different way, but I learned a lot from the old man. | |
| best amp for a Maggy 1.7i a nad will NOT be the answer Ditto that. |
