| What vintage speaker might you use today I have tannoy hpd 315 drivers from i think 1976 in new custom made cheviot cabinets. These are outstanding speakers. Very much the opposite of modern hi fi and for that reason many may not like them. The sound is sweet, musical, with great presenc... | |
| Gallo Classico Subwoofers No experience with the classico. I have a gallo trd3 supporting tannoy speakers and previously tekton speakers in a large room (30x45). I find it musical and fast and it adds some weight and texture and blends easily with my system. In my room it ... | |
| Best integrated amps under $9k You might want to start with speakers you love and that fit the room well then look at a good integrated match. Also not sure your speaker budget but a rule of thumb is to spend more - some say twice as much - on speakers. I am sure there are exc... | |
| Please help - WHICH INTEGRATED AMP? Consider used hegels like the h80 or 100 if you find them in that range. To me a good match for sonus as they have power and richness which would match well with your speakers. | |
| Amp recommendation in the $6000 range Good ideas. Another direction would be to look at the new vinnie rossi modular integrated system. His past products were all very good for the price. The components in the new line look outstanding. Not sure his policy on auditioning but well wor... | |
| What amplifier for spendor D7 Hegels work great with spendors. The h160 comes with a dac and is i think in your price range. Could also pick up a demo h300 or h200 on the gon now. Other options might be vinnie rossies new modular line - havent heard it myself. | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx One idea is to get one of the Hegel h 200 demos on sale now on audiogon. It has the great sound signature of Hegel without the bells and whistles (and dac) that the newer models have. Sufficient power to drive many options for future speaker upgra... | |
| USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable? Very interesting conversation. Not completely on topic but related, i have been confused as to why i have found better results using usb vs optical cables to connect my macbook to my rega dac. I would think that bits would arrive cleaner by having... | |
| Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range Many great ideas here - thank you all very much. I'll keep you posted on what transpires. Trying to listen to as many as I can for a few months before purchasing. | |
| Best way to hook my new iMac to my PS audio PWDAC2 I found the usb out better than the optical on my macbook. I am confused as to why but this has been the case with three different dacs and three different optical cables. To me an optical signal would eliminate any interference from the pcu and p... | |
| Is this piece worth anything these days? It's not a bad sounding amp. It is very laid back and natural with decent power. It's great for a second system or to start building a good system by focusing limited funds on speakers. | |
| Rogers amps Cant do a comparison and havent owned them, but for what its worth, I spent a few hours listening to a rogers in a retailer, not with my music, on large martin logans. I found the sound very musical, rich but still with hi fi precision. I was very... | |
| Anyone Attend RMAF? Robsker - I didnt attend the show but have similar feelings on the trend with some super high end name speakers and systems I have heard at dealers. Precision bulldozes musicality. My best guess is some people enjoy sound more than music. To each ... | |
| ELAC Speakers - Opinions? My limited experience is they like power so it could be a match with your amp. If you have a hesitation already about the sound of the tweeter its unlikely to sound better to you over time. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Grant green for jazz. I live jerry garcia. For texas roadhouse blues anson finderberg. Fir modern blues rock big head todd is outstanding. The guitarist in the cure - simon gallup- is outstanding if you see them live. |
