| Best used floor standers up to $1300 The PSB x2t would be an excellent choice. I really liked their predecessors, the T6. Another speaker you might want to check out is the Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2. If you can find them used they should be within your budget and with a bit of a disc... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx Hey, Sunnyjim, you might want to check out the amp that Hans Wetzel compares the Sphinx to: Arcam FMJ A19. The comparison is made in his review of the A19.It has the MM phono stage and no DAC. I'm using Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2 speakers and the A... | |
| Bang for the buck DAC Arcam irDAC. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass In that size room I think towers would be the way to go. The Monitor Audio Silver series Zd542 mentioned are very good. I had an extended listening session with the Silver 8 about a month ago. I could live with that speaker. Great bass, open full ... | |
| Naim Nait 5Si and Focal 807W Speakers Topten, I had the NAD 320BEE and 325BEE (still have them actually). I really like NAD gear. I've had the Arcam A19 for the past 15 months. From my experience the A19 is more open, transparent and smoother than the 50 watt offerings from NAD. The A... | |
| System assessment--should I change amps? Arsh, you have what appears to be a well thought out system with fantastic pieces from start to finish. You say you like how it sounds a lot. Since you are satisfied I'd say sit back and enjoy such a fantastic set-up. | |
| Shipping Heavy Speakers: Freight of FedEx I would do exactly what Peter suggests. I worked the dock for a time at UPS. It's just not a good environment (FedEx would be the same) for sensitive electronics or speakers. If it's up to me I would always have my equipment shipped by pallet.Chee... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days? @Mapman- Yes, with the rDAC Arcam was licensing USB technology from dCS. With irDAC they have used trickle down technology from their own reference D33 DAC. The irDAC also comes with a remote which the rDAC does not have. In the near future I hope... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days? You might want to check out the Arcam irDAC. It's been well reviewed. I have the predecessor to it, the rDAC, and have been very pleased with its performance and function. | |

| Infinity Primus P363 TAS review I feel like grasshopper. ;-) | |
| Infinity Primus P363 TAS review "Skepticism good. Cynicism bad." I like that, Onhwy61. Wise words. It can be a fine line. I have to watch that myself. | |

| Integrated to go with KEF LS50 Schubert makes a good suggestion with NAD. The C326BEE or 356BEE would be good choices. The Marantz PM8005 or PM6005 should work well especially with your Marantz cdp.You might want to check out the Arcam FMJ A19. It is known to be a great match w... | |
| Supratek out of business? You have a fine piece of equipment there, Tubegroover. I hope you can get a schematic and that the Syrah will give you many more years of musical pleasure. |
