| Recommendations for used/vintage integrated for vinyl Audio Refinement complete integrated for usually around $450. You will need a phono preamp. 50 watts into 8 ohms but high current design. | |

| Most detailed budget power cord under 150$ used? You might want to try some Volex power cables 17504 10 B1. They are unshielded and run less than $7.50 ea. Check my system details, I use them in my system with my audio refinement, mogami, proac and rega gear. | |
| Is my amp the problem? I've never had great let alone decent results bi-amping my speakers even using 4 channels out of 5 on my audio refinement multi 5 amp. I do bi wire all on the speaker end with Tekton 6.5t monitors in the past and currently ProAc Studio 148 mini to... | |
| Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? . ProAc studio 148 with soundocity sev9 outriggers. | |
| Honing down the speaker shortlist ~$5K Any ProAc below $5K. Love my studio 148 towers. Plus the exchange rate is good now. Maybe not the 140s. | |
| A thin and elegant system? Like my slim ProAc studio 148s. Pair it with some older nice profile Linn boxes or Audio Refinement gear (separates or integrated). | |
| PS Audio Detect Power Center vs past PS Audio conditioners @tls49, yes I have a dedicated 20 amp line for my entire system. I am a big fan of minimal shielding (Mogami 2549 RCAs) or no shielding (Mogami speaker cables and Volex 17504 10 B1 power cables). | |
| Suggestions on a new /used amp for Focal speakers. I love my warmish sounding Pre5 and Multi5 audio refinement / YBA gear. I'm considering selling and extra Pre5 and Multi3 AR I have on hand. | |
| Used Pre - Ayre, Pass or Para JC2? I really like the audio refinement pre5 by YBA. All analog with lots of inputs, imaging and presence. I have an extra one for sale. | |
| Who's absorbing the cost? I don't understand how the (lack of) quality control exists in multiple plants like this will all the defective pressings. | |
| What makes an amp sound more direct ? Kevlar and sometimes carbon fiber midrange drivers in spears. Usually too forward / direct for me. | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes Stopped using the hockey pucks and, instead, using metal spike floor protectors (even though my listening room is carpeted) under the Soundocity outrigger spikes. | |
| Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500 ProAc studio 148s new. Great 2.5 way narrow tower speaker that goes deep with its flexible placement downward firing port. Many say the ProAc studio 125s get the classic rock midrange so right. I had a used set of 125s in my room while my 148s wer... | |
| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? ProAc Studio 148 mini towers in mahogany in Jan 2016. Check my system page for photos and details. Great speakers with amazing clarity in mids and highs plus the downward firing port helps with flexible placement and great bass response to 20hz. |
