| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range Didn't know you were interested in tubes. Rogue Cronus Magnum would be absolutely awesome with your Tektons if you can somehow swing it...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649517398-rogue-audio-cronus-magnum/images/2238231/ | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp I'd wait until you decide what speakers you're going to upgrade to. Driving Maggies is very different from driving GE Tritons, and they're completely different speakers in both design and sound characteristics. You'll just end up amp shopping ag... | |
| Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why? Yeah, the soundstage in my system also can vary greatly from recording to recording. Sounds like your Jolida was masking details thereby homogenizing various recordings to a similar type sound. Added detail is a blessing and a curse. You’ll enjoy ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Oh great. Now he's shouting at us. Think he even realizes LSA speakers are sold direct, so it's not even the same business model? | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) That being said, danimaz would have to understand that this would be a staged approach, as he can probably only afford to get only one 2-channel amp or set of monoblocks now. Which means he would ultimately be spending $6-10K in the end if he want... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Here ya go. Used pair of Pulsars for $4300 incl shipping. Send to JA for upgrade, $6600 for Pulsar 2s (plus shipping to and from JA). https://tmraudio.com/speakers/bookshelf-monitors/joseph-audio-pulsar-bookshelf-speakers-gloss-black-... | |
| What is the best sounding Pre/Pro 7.1 channel with analog bypass. If sound quality is paramount, I agree it's better to find something used if you don't need the latest, greatest features. Personally, I'd try to negotiate this Anthem AVM40, then stick a crowbar in my wallet and just buy it as long as it meets y... | |
| What is the best sounding Pre/Pro 7.1 channel with analog bypass. What about a new Outlaw Model 975 prepro since you're already running their amp? Only $550. https://outlawaudio.com/products/975.html | |
| Solid State Preamp Under $8000 @teeshot -- just a couple general thoughts. If you really like the 302e you’re obviously going to build on that significantly with the 202. What stuck in my craw was a review I read by Wes Philips way back when Krell first introduced CAST. He used... | |
| Preamp Question Here's another good option. I believe the output impedance is 2 kOhm and I don't know what input impedance is on your amp, so something to check. If you're after transparency, this will be tough to beat. http://www.placetteaudio.com/passive_line... | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) @loomisjohnson -- shame on you man. Your AVR’s preamp section sounded good COMPARED TO WHAT? It’s a $3400 AVR that includes multichannel amp, signal processing, tuner, preamp, DAC, internet connectivity, etc. etc. With all that, how much money do ... | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve I can't for the life of me understand why manufacturers aren't required to state minimum impedance, and would be nice to know what frequency it occurs at as well. That's not a hard ask, is it? Nominal impedance is a near USELESS spec to me. One... | |
| Harmonic Technology Interconnects Last I heard, Harmonic Tech made some organizational changes and customer service was horrible. Frankly, these guys split off from Acoustic Zen way back when, so I'd consider going with them instead. I could be wrong, but FWIW. | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range I think the Hegel H90 would be a nice upgrade and offer the characteristics you're looking for. There's one available used a little above your price target, but I think you can get him down closer to $1100, and frankly it's worth the stretch if y... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @nyaudio98 -- hey, I thought I told you to go away. You're useless here and not at all credible. Shoo. Go play with your little LSA friends. |
