| Need an integrated amp that sounds engaging at lower volume Thank you everyone for your input, I do appreciate it! @audioman58 I appreciate your input thank you, I mentioned the speakers were settled and I mentioned a budget, preferably under $4,000. In any event I told him to get a Naim Uniti Atom (... | |
| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. I used to have a B&K 2220 (and other B&Ks) that I ran with a 1990s Conrad Johnson preamp and a newer Jolida tube preamp and it sounded great with both I thought, but the newer Jolida was better and they are pretty cheap. I also ran a Class... | |
| Need CD Player up to $1,500 George,Thank you. I'm amazed at how much people know on this site- like the type of transport an A3 has. I hadn't considered that I already have a good transport and could just buy a dac instead of another cd player. It's going to be hard to not j... | |
| Need CD Player up to $1,500 Thanks audioman. Actually I was talking to a guy a few years back and he went to an audio event in Germany. They were going to demo systems and when he broke out CDs everyone laughed. He didn't know why. He said they all had their music on laptops... | |
| Need CD Player up to $1,500 My apologies: I had a Jolida Fusion Preamp that I was bi-amping with a MF A3 and B&k 2020 and the Jolida and B&K shorted or fried one night. That is what I was deciding to repair before I got the Hegel. Thanks again for any CD Player advic... | |
| B&W CM9 vs. Monitor Audio RX 8 You are correct. They are 6" and you can feel the bass hit your chest, and warm mids and sweet highs aren't even close to getting drowned out. | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? @Samzx12Sam, my apologies, this should be a friendly forum, I never said you are naive', I doubt you are. What does my opinion matter anyway, I think the more expensive is better is 'wrong' which is a better way to say it. I'll give you a for inst... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'm pretty sure that amps have not hit the point where they can't and won't be improved upon. But, while I'm sure I'll find a better amp, and am currently looking...I'm keeping my MF A3cr anyway, because I would rather have that amp then the $600 ... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? @Samzx12: I think that's the most naive' thing I've read on agon, "you get what you pay for".To me, the best thing about audiophile gear (beside the sound) is finding gear affordable components that sound better than those costing thousands more. ... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? In my opinion, Jolida is probably the best value in HI FI audio today. And just so everyone who thinks that's absurd has more 'ammunition', I think MF is pretty close. They're both giant killers based on my direct comparisons with new Cary and McC... | |
| Best Speakers for around $2000 There's always someone who has to state the obvious "there is no best whatever...". No kidding, this is a subjective opinion that someone is asking for. Does that even need to be said???Monitor Audio RX8s were the best speakers I auditioned when I... | |
| B&W CM9 vs. Monitor Audio RX 8 I was convinced that I would never get any speakers other than B&Ws. I love that company, and for the price, I consider them to be 'giant killers' throughout their entire line. I see agoners constantly knocking companies like B&W and MF be... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? The Rain Song-Led Zeppelin today. But tomorrow it may be Since I've Been Loving You. It's close like that :) | |
| Which band's vinyl catalog is consistently great? As for bands, there was this one called Led Zeppelin. I'm not saying they're Genesis or anything...CLUTCH has about seven wicked albums in a row. All except the first are recorded quite well. That's a band, in my opinion. | |
| "Best" speakers new/used under $3,000? Is a 20' by 16' room considered small or large?My room is 20' by 16' and nearly empty, I'm a bachelor :) It's connected to a dining room of the same size through a 10' by 7' opening. It has a VERY nice sound...I think of it as a component. The flo... |
