| Is it me? Comments on the Rega Mira integrated. An integrated that matches your requirements very well, I think, is the Audio Refinement Complete. I haven't compared it to a Rega but mine is certainly accurate, detailed and musical. | |
| The next step? I don't have any experience with the Jolida but you probably can't go wrong with either. They both are players that are recommended by a lot of people whenever a question like yours is asked and even if someone does have experience with both, thei... | |
| Mccormack or muse or forte Sonics aside, a strong argument for the McCormack is the ongoing support and advice that Steve McCormack provides through SMC Audio and even on this forum.I owned a DNA 0.5 Deluxe for several years as part of an all-McCormack system and absolutely... | |
| The next step? A great option for a CD player within your budget is to find a used Music Hall CD25, which usually runs $350-400, and upgrade the opamps, which would cost you somewhere between $50 and $150 depending on which ones you buy.It's a simple do-it-yours... | |
| What sub for music budget A used HSU VTF-2 is a bargain at $300-400 | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener Any of the Canare speaker cables would be a good choice and give you the option of easily bi-wiring because each cable has four internal conductors. Even the heftiest of them, the 4s11, is only $.69 a foot at markertek.com. Canare is widely used i... | |
| Ls 3/5a sound without the price..... Your idea about looking at Ruark is a good one. I've owned a pair of Epilogues and they're absolutely wonderful at the price. They're beautifully made, as well. | |
| Sub usefulness in constrained placement situation I used an HSU VTF-2 in the configuration you're describing, behind the couch, but with less space between it and the back wall than you're describing. It worked extremely well in my space. Give it a try. The sub fit perfectly underneath a very nar... | |
| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat I've bought both Meadowlark Kestrels and Soliloquy 5.0's for use with Rotel amps for friends. Both sound exceptionally nice, though different. The Kestrels are floorstanders and the Soliloquy's are monitors. I'd think almost any speaker from Meado... | |
| Need best mid-price ICs for new ss M/C amp... Dh Labs interconnects are excellent for the money and reasonably easy to find online or used. I've had both the BL-1 and the Air Matrix and found them to be very nice sounding, well-made cables. | |
| How to add subwoofer to my main speaker. I don't have an SVS subwoofer but the specs and images on the manufacturer's site make it seem as if it has essentially the same options as my HSU subwoofer, with both low-level RCA inputs and high-level speaker cable inputs and outputs.After tryi... | |
| Which of These Budget SS Preamps? The only one of those on your list I've owned is the Parasound P/LD 2000 and it's a fine preamp but one I like better is the McCormack TLC-1. It's a beautifully built piece of gear that completely got out of the way of the music in my system. They... | |
| Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi? To paraphrase George Carlin's riff on 'stuff,'"My stuff is hi-fi, your stuff is mid-fi." | |
| speaker cable question for linn classik I bought the Linn connectors from a local Linn dealer and attached them to some speaker cable I already had. It wasn't a difficult process and the connectors themselves are only a few dollars each.I was told the Nordost Z-plug banana connector wou... | |
| Very Small Desktop Speakers I have a pair of Acoustic Energy Aesprit 301's that are designed to be surround speakers but the lack of a rear port makes them ideal to put on the corners of a desk against a wall. They're beautifully made, with cherry cabinets and very compact. ... |
