| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system Well, if you’re in the market for a true end-game piece and open to used, here’s a Vitus integrated that retailed for $27k available for $11k that’ll nail all your hot buttons and you’re set even if you upgrade your speakers significantly in the f... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system What sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Preamp Opinion I assume you’ve seen this BP6...https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisacbia-bryston-bp6-stereo-preamplifier-bp-6-black-19-32990-solid-state Not sure, but this seller might accept returns if it doesn’t work for you but not sure about that. Just FYI. | |
| Simplifying my main rig and looking for cable suggestions mostly I find them just a bit lacking for "meat on the bones" I think Acoustic Zen Satori might be what you’re looking for. Excellent detail, imaging, and holographic soundstage with just a hint of heft in the mids. Best of luck. | |
| Preamp Opinion I tend to prefer a sound that is not too bright but provides a good clear soundstage and imaging.The Bryston BP6 will give you this in spades — I owned one for several years. I’d avoid the Adcom as it’s been known to have reliability issues so bu... | |
| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 You are sort of getting a confirmation bias group… where all the Vandy owners say that the Vandys are great… one should be mindful that the group has a high degree of bias, irregardless of the fact that they are probably right.@holmz — STOP, just ... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II Sorry about rambling. It is interesting to trace this decision back somany years.@ghdprentice — Do NOT be sorry for rambling here for doing your homework and finding your speaker Nirvana. It’s what we’re all striving for here, and CONGRATS!!! on g... | |
| Speaker Upgrade ... Please Help Me I know all of Audiogon has been on pins and needles wondering what decision was made. You can now all relax and sleep easier :) I found a mint pair of used Sopra 2’s and couldn’t be happier. Way more balanced and a sense of depth that I didn’t hav... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions? Yeah, you’re wrong. It’s a silk-dome tweeter. You’ve no idea what you’re talking about and your opinion is counter to most audiophiles in the world. And your opinion is worthless, IMO. | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp I'm thinking that I might get the Raven Nighthawk and keep them both for a few months and see which I prefer.Yeah, my money’s BIG on the Nighthawk. Let us know what you find. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II Buy the LSA-20 Signature or Statements (available here) and save yourself $$$. No affiliation with the company BTW. They targeted Joseph Audio for performance, and IMO JA beats both SF and Dynaudio. Or, just pay more. Read the reviews — when revi... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search I am never going to stream, not against it, just prefer hands on content@elliottbnewcombjr — Hey Elliott, I think I’m the one who clued you into the whole wonderful HT Bypass thing and I think you found that to be a bit of an epiphany, so I’m gonn... | |
| Considering adding a dedicated 2 channel preamp in setup? I'm using the 8805 and a Jc5 and will curios as to what you find.Try a JC2 and welcome to a whole new world. Preamps matter...HUGE!!! | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search Agree what you really need is a good DAC. As you’re obviously a vinyl fan I’d heavily point you to R2R DACs as they tend to have more of that organic, natural sound to them. I’m about to pull the trigger on a Musician Pegasus that’s $1100 new, a... | |
| Considering adding a dedicated 2 channel preamp in setup? I think I’d shoot a little higher than the P6 if I were you. Here’s a nice Bryston BP6 that’d certainly up your 2-channel game quite a bit (I used to own one) and is well under your $2k budget. It doesn’t have an HT Bypass, but you really don’t ... |
