| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier I think that question was for me. Yes, I've had the Exposure 2010s2, the NAD 375BEE, and the Rogue Sphinx. I thought the Exposure was a very nice amp - refined sound, clear, musical. However, I had it paired with the KEF LS50s, and it didn't quite... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem I think the Stereophile measurements reveal a titled-up treble with the Jade 3 that could be a problem for those sensitive to that range. You might take a look at the review to see if it's simply a characteristic of that speaker that will require ... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier If you are thinking of changing your speakers, I would make that decision first. Only then would I start looking for an integrated that pairs well with the speakers.There are a lot of very good integrated amps in the $1500-2000 range (new - I won'... | |

| Removing components from between the speakers In my room it's not feasible to put the rack on a side wall. However, I have gotten better soundstage depth and imaging by keeping the rack and gear as low as possible. I have Harbeth mini monitors, so anything that is at their hight between them ... | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated The Rogue Sphinx has an excellent preamp - check out some of the online reviews. | |
| Peachtree or Hegel Integrated? The Hegel is definitely a good sounding amp. However, it's interesting that Devilboy mentioned the finicky volume control on the Hegel H80. I had similar issues, and the problem was so significant that I ended up selling the Hegel. The volume has ... | |
| What do you recommend for a solid state for office I have been very satisfied with the used Simaudio i-1 that I picked up here for $650. I often see the i-1, i-.5 and 250i for good prices. They are class A for the first 5 watts, so in near field listening you would have very pure sound. They are w... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Well, finally got the Emotiva CMX, but the hum is exactly the same. Nothing I've tried has made any difference. So, it's back to Coincident in Canada for service. Hopefully, they'll be able to diagnose the issue quickly and get it back to me relat... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE It should be arriving today - I'll let you know! | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Israel suggested that it's a ground loop problem, but I'm getting the hum even when there's nothing plugged into the circuit. Keep you postedÂ…. | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE I just got mine today, and I'm having a hell of a time with hum from the amp and through the speakers. Tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to help. Headphone listening isn't possible due to the severity of the problem. It sounds lik... | |
| cable break in phono stage to preamp You can also get a fairly affordable cable cooker like the Fry Baby and burn them in on that. In fact, that's probably the best way since even your CD player won't put out the same signal level as a cable cooker. There are far more expensive cable... | |
| Golden Ear Triton7 spk: High-end or just mid -fi?? I have the Triton 7s, and my apartment listening room is only a few square feet larger than yours. Unfortunately, the Triton 7s are gathering dust in a bedroom because they simply have too much bass for the room. Not only did they sound slightly b... | |
| NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000 Just came across this thread from a number of years ago, but it's the same question that I'm pondering. I have the NAD c375BEE, and it's quite an impressive integrated for the price. Once I added a pair of good interconnects between the pre-out an... |
