| Is the B&W 600 series a good value? That would go above your $1,000 budget. Anyways the N805 will not only be a more composed speaker than the 685(more refined sound across the entire spectrum- better highs, mids and bass quality) but you are paying for the beautiful woodwork as wel... | |
| Phonostage & Cartridge Upgrade For Rega P5 Thanks for all your valuable inputs Ekobesky and Viridian. They were much appreciated and would give me some direction on what to do next to obtain an appreciable sonic difference at a modest cost. I think I'll concentrate more on the phono stage ... | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Well I tested the U2 vinyl on my low-end turntable and the sound is surprisingly very listenable, better than CD. It possibly has got a lot to do with the analog domain, or the CD just sucks and needs some kind of tube DAC coloration to make it mo... | |
| Is the B&W 600 series a good value? The new B&W series does look great and fit your criteria of being an aesthetically-pleasing speaker. I have heard the 684 briefly driven by an NAD and there is nothing bad about the sound. My impression is it is slightly more refined sounding ... | |

| Simaudio's New Moon 700i Integrated 10-12-09: JoeyboynjHi Rich, yes I have had many amp and pre-amp set ups. Recently, I have been enjoying the simplicity and savings of not having to worry about an extra interconnect, power cable, footers and shelf space. I think high end integrate... | |
| ATC Speakers...Do you use them with Grill On/Off I concur with Gregm. In order for the speaker to disappear(which is one of the more important aspects in any system), speaker placement is usually crucial. Since speaker placement is governed by the room in most cases, the size of the room will pl... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions Hi Fillmoor, may I ask if your Rega Elicit has the optional built-in MM or MC phonostage? If it has, I would appreciate if you can let me know whether you have tried any quality outboard phonostage with your analogue rig. I currently have my Rega ... | |
| Are Dipole Surrounds Suitable To Be Used As Fronts Thanks for the detailed response Javachip. I don't have any dipole surrounds yet and am curious about this design. After posting this thread I found some comments about dipole surrounds being labeled as a "dinosaur" design, and that omnipolars whi... | |
| Recommendation of a good nearfield speaker Proac Tablette Reference 8 Signature or Tablette 50 Signature used are below $1.5k. Forward sound and can be a bit bright with some solid-state amps. Detail and imaging are exceptional. Proac 1SC also worth considering. | |
| Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's That explains it. Cheers. | |
| Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's I recalled the integrated amp that was used to drive the Marten Duke. It was a Gryphon Tabu. | |
| Audio Technica AT33 PTG or AT33R Thanks for the sound advice Richard. It was helpful. I have read about the importance of phonostage and was urged by one of my friend to get a better one first before I look at a higher-end cartridges. Seems like the phonostage is the way to go be... | |
| Accuphase E408, E407 or E530 ? Sorry to butt in. There are so many Accuphase models in the integrated line. Apart from different power ratings, can anyone rate the following amps in chronological order from good to very good sound? E306E406E210E211E407E307E212E530E308E408E213Th... |
