| Budget-Friendly Interconnects? The original AZ Matrix Refs (NOT the Ref II) should be in your budget used and do what you're looking for. | |
| Is Tom Evans Audio Design out of business? "I was told I could also get it upgraded to the "Anniversary" edition along with the repair, and was quoted what I thought was a very reasonable price. "Apparently it was too reasonable. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 and Nuforce Reference 18 I've got some NOS ADS metal speaker grills I can sell you. Only $500...each. | |
| Speaker Choice Oops, I meant Magico S1 before not the S5. KEF might be good too. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 and Nuforce Reference 18 I see de-clawing in your future. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus owners Don, would love to hear your thoughts on the GTA versus the standard Amadeus once it's broken in. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something I use reviews mainly for information and an indication of something I might like to listen to. Nothing more. On this level, and pretty much only on this level, I find that reviews can be helpful.What really irks me is when a reviewer does not make... | |
| Change INTEGRATED or Add AMPS? I used to have a Rotel RSP-980 prepro in my system a while back and it was good but could not match the tonality, weight, and soundstage dimensionality of a good stereo preamp. In fact I'm now using a Bryston BP-6. If you're upgrading your amp you... | |
| Linn CD 12 Let's start with that the CD12 won't play hi-rez digital. And if you find one it probably has quite a bit of playing time on it and may need some expensive maintenance down the road. Then add that Linn itself stopped producing CD players and sells... | |
| Where do I go from here? I'm not too familiar with your components, but fwiw if it were me I'd try a few preamps and see what that does. Can't imagine using the pre section of an integrated is doing you any favors. Just make sure output impedance is a good match for your ... | |

| Integrated amp with dac - opinions? Not sure what your price range is, but the Hegel H300 looks like it would be worth a look. Best of luck. | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps I'd take a hard look at the Empirical Audio DAC, and a lot of people seem to like the Berkeley DAC run directly into an amp as well. Best of luck. | |
| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help I'd also be interested in your thoughts, especially since the Sonatinas are no slouch. Always thought ARC and JA would make a really nice pairing but never heard them together. Congrats. I'm jealous. | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion Rockness,The Satoris are definitely not bass light. I find them to be warmer, rounder, weightier, and more tonally full down there, but along with that they are not the fastest or tightest cable you'll find in that frequency range. Trade offs. The... |
