| What price point favors separates over integrated? There is no price, or real reason why one must be better than the other IMO, separates offer advantages of mix and match which opens up a lot of doors towards getting exactly the sound you are after. Both can be built to any price or quality level... | |
| Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs? Hi Bluemike, yes I still have the Mantissa...it would cost to much to replace this little honey of a preamp.Using it with a pair of Rogue Audio tubed monos (M-120 Magnums)...great combo, driving my Apogee Duetta Signatures to near perfection.I'll ... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. Bookshelf speakers need stands to sound good...good stands cost money. Many small floorstanders take up no more floor space than a bookshelf on stands...something to keep in mind as another option.Dave | |
| Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs? Yes, I go by flintstone over there Bluemike. Troll may have not been the correct word to use as Wellfed pointed out..."homers" works.I'm not saying that the people over there are bad...or the manufacturers. It does strike me at times that the manu... | |

| Amps for Vandersteen 3A Signature SS or Tube? Try a pair of Rogue M-150 Magnums, I've had a pair of the smaller M-120 Magnums driving my Apogee Duetta Signatures for around a week now...musical, musical, musicalI should mention...these amps can pump bass with the best of them...I replaced a K... | |
| The Past 5 years I'll go with digital...cd's, cd players and amps... Computer and computer audio/video must be in there to.Dave | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mapleleafs3 said:" I've heard $10,000 speakers fed by a lousy source sound like crap"Won't a $10,000 source make lousy speakers sound like crap also? You don't have those "White Van" speakers do ya?Just kidding...I know what your saying, although.... | |
| what is the best deal you ever got on audiogon That would be my Audioprism Mantissa tubed preamp ($700) if I recall correctly. Any and every upgrade I've ever tried shown clearly through this preamp...I suspect it could never be a bottle neck in any system.Dave | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation I just picked up a pair of Rogue Audio M-120 Magnums I'm using to drive my Apogee Duetta Signatures for the last few days...everything I read about the Rogue amps is true in my system... and they are a keeper.You could even find the larger M-150 M... | |
| Best for the details? Pick up a good two channel preamp with homtheater pass through that you can insert between the prepro and the amp...this will take you farther than a better prepro.I tried the $3,000 prepro thing a few years back, and it did sound good...not good ... | |
| Good Multi channel tube amp for $1000 Butler Audio makes multichannel tube amps...your not going to find anything in your price range though. The only other I can think of is even more money than the Butler.Dave | |

| Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made.... "My wife forced me to sell our $1500 CDP and replace it with a $5000 player as her birthday present. She then demanded that we upgrade our speakers to a larger model, under the pretense that "size matters." Just recently, I had to go out and doubl... | |
| Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made.... None, I'll flex in any other area...not my stereo and she knows not to even go there. Dave |
