| SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ? As others have mentioned, Bryston fits your description exactly. | |
| Dedicated line help Thanks a lot guys. Very helpful and I feel much better moving forward now. | |
| Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology? "I don't want to buy a TV and have it obsolete the next year. What do you think?"I think whatever you buy will be obsolete within a year. Panasonic seems committed to plasma and you can get an excellent 50" 1080p for $1100 or so. If it works for 3... | |
| Ideas for used SS amp Clayton amps might be worth a look as well. | |
| XLR for Marsh Electronics It depends a lot on what sonic characteristics you're looking for. | |
| B&W Speakers I'd also recommend looking at other options other than B&W, partly because I'm not a fan but in particular because I've heard them extensively with Linn amps and I did not find the pairing to be synergistic. If you let us know what type of sou... | |
| Sugden - Electrocompaniet - Naim - Accuphase Not to muddy the waters, and I don't even know what they offer in terms of integrateds, but Classe electronics are often cited as being a good synergistic match with B&W speakers. And they're certainly not billed as being bright or edgy, so th... | |
| Does Pass Aleph 3 heat up the room like tube amp? Some of the amps on offer from the companies you mention offer a switch that lowers the bias and allows the amp to run a bit cooler when not in use or not being used for critical listening. Didn't know if you were aware of that or if it would make... | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system "My interconnects are nothing special, some Pheonix gold and Monster. I just can't see cables fixing this big of a problem, mabe I'm wrong."You may be right, but I think you're selling this aspect of a system way short. They're also some of the ea... | |
| Rockport's or Magico's OK Dracule1, cough it up. You can't hang that out there and not let us in on your find. That's a foul. I'm gonna take a stab that they're something like Emerald Physics, Ridge Street Audio, Intuitive Design, or NSR Sonic Research. Am I close? | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system My first response would be to address the room issues as others have mentioned. But you clearly state that since this is a living space your options there are limited. By far the easiest thing to do would be to experiment with different interconne... | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Not 100% sure there pure class A, but Gryphon seems to make some well-respected amps. | |
| Good Pre Amp W/Remote for Marsh A400s Amp?? There are obviously going to be synergies with the Marsh pre. If I were you I'd start with a P2000b that you can probably get for 700 bucks or so, and then let something else try to better it in areas that matter to you. By the way, Marsh amps pro... | |
| Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables... If he's really into 2-channel I guess I can see wanting to bi-wire, but if that's the case if it were me I'd be saving up for a separate pre/pro and amp. If 2-channel isn't a good deal more important to him than home theater I'd put more money int... | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp One of the most important and hardest things about building a system you truly love is finding the speakers that really blow you away. Sounds like you may have found that, and I'm sure they'll sound pretty damn good with your electronics -- probab... |
