| Looking for a new integrated amp I've had the Musical Fidelity M5si, the Creek Evo, and the Sphinx V1. Of the three, I preferred the Musical Fidelity. In my system it had seemingly unlimited power, good detail, and a deep soundstage. The Creek was also nice - a smooth sound, v... | |
| Audio envy - dang! Absolutely love mine. I took a chance on the power cable since it was so cheap. On first listening, it was obvious that the cable was a step up from anything I had tried before. I then ordered the Studio Prestige RCA ICs and a pair of NV-SP9 sp... | |
| Starter turntable and MM cartridge recommendations Rega turntables are pretty close to plug and play, which is ideal for someone just starting out. There isn't much to fiddle around with, and most reviews are positive. | |
| Speaker and amp compatibility One quick note - don't judge the power you are using by the position of the volume control. The knob position does not correlate directly with output power. At the hallway point, it could be putting out 50 watts, watts, 100 watts, 28.7 watts, e... | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? I have found the Herbies gliders to allow easy movement and to be better sonically than spiking my stands directly to the floor. I have 70lb. speaker stands with bookshelf speakers blue tacked to the stand, so the weight is similar to what you ar... | |
| Amplifier warm up I've definitely noticed that SS sounds better when left on all the time. I only have a class a/b integrated and phono stage that I leave on, so it's not using much power when not in use. Recently, I went out of town for a few days, so I powered ... | |
| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. Robert53 - I think you're going to love the M6si. It's a great integrated amp - easy to listen to, drives any speaker, nice soundstage. | |
| Semi-Compact Integrated Amp w/ Excellent Sound Quality? Rega Brio would work as well. | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? I decided that in the context of my system, I didn't really need to spend $1000 on a phono stage. So, I returned the Black Label and got a Zen with an iPower X. I does everything I want - can't stop listening to it! | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @flight750 If that question was for me, I used an Exposure 3010 s2d - 110wpc. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way As an update, I ended up returning my LS50 Metas at the end of the 30-day trial period. It turned out that they really needed to be played a bit louder than I usually listen, which is fairly moderate volume levels (max SPL 78 db or so). They sou... | |
| Does your pet listen to your system? An ex-girlfriend had a fidgety, whiny cat that would stop dead in its tracks and listen whenever Johnny Cash's voice came on. If it was a duet, it would only sit up and pay attention when Johnny was singing. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I got my Metas a couple of days ago and will post more lengthy impressions after I have some time on them. At first, they sounded a little closed in and the lower midrange/upper bass was somewhat muffled (not uncommon with new speakers before bre... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting If you only have 60 hours on the Croft, it could probably use some more playing time. From what I've heard, mosfet output stages need some time to burn in and relax. Also, you might swap out the stock tubes for something warmer, like new product... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? I've had mine for a few weeks, and I am really enjoying it. Just sounds like music, not solid state or tubes. |
