| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Jack, at Command Performance we talked about the Hegel H360 a little bit, but the focus was mostly on the speakers being demoed.Inna, I was reading up on the Accuphase amps tonight, but they are priced too far over my $6000 upper limit. Tomic60i. ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. 2psyop, I'm really concerned with the quality control there and would feel like a fool if I went to that well again and ended up with more Chinese junk, especially at such high price points. I am very often disturbed by Chinese products breaking d... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Yysantabara, I checked out the new Mark Levinson’s amp link you provided. they sounded perfect until I got to the price, a couple thousand or so out of my already inflated price range or $5000 to $6000. I might have jumped up another $1000 for the... | |

| Best building material for vibration free shelving N80, thanks for pointing out you were goofing around. Some of this audio and audio engineering talk gets a bit over my head at times. I used have a good sense of humor, and didn’t need jokes explained. A saving grace is that I still laugh at all m... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Builder3, glad you had good luck with your used amp. I’d likely be the one with bad luck taking the same chance. I think my Dad’s many years of selling used cars taught me to stick with new, so you’re sure what you are getting. His used cars came ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Kosst_amojan, thanks again for the additional information on Class B's and C's, and the links you provided. Those squawk boxes used at fast food drive up windows must employ Class B technology, They generate almost pure distortion on a good day.In... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Just read the "Is Hegel made in China? thread". Apparently they are, so that eliminates that integrated amp choice no matter what Alon Wolf recommends. I'll take a closer look at some other brands like Luxman, Macintosh or others.Shkong, I will d... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Terry, I’m going to get back to you when I start researching cables. You’re talking a bit over my head in their description in your post, but I learn quickly. Since I’m probably going to purchase the Hegel H360, I now have to figure out what price... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Yysantabarbara, you're absolutely correct about the power requirement. I'm on it.Onhwy6i, yes, that's easily done.Inna, so you think I should stay with A/B's. OK, I'll look into them. I rarely except on occasion blast my music any more. Low to mo... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Firstnots, woud have liked to have heard some Joseph Audio speakers, but the closest dealer was in Pennsylvania, too far away.. I'm in SW Virgina. I'd be curious how you thought the more expensive Joseph speaker you listened to compared to the Mag... | |

| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? In_shore, we were all in love with Michelle Phillips. Please don't be monopolizing her attention. I suppose you could make a realistic and valid argument she was so appealing, that alone would make the Mamas and Papas the greatest American band of... | |
| For those of us over 60.. Mike Bloomfield and whatever groups and combos he was playing with from Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, The Electric Flag. Al Kooper, and many more. Probably the premier American blues/rock guitarist, who burned himself and his talent out. Personally... |
