| Tube biasing question please ...meaning they most likely have fewer hours on them? Thanks. | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? JohnK your comment "Who buys used headphones anyway? Like buying a used shoe..." is quite surprising.I beleive that for most folks, headphones are a secondary items compared to speakers (not everyone of course, but I would think a good 80%).Headpn... | |
| What would be the best int. amp for Totem Model 1? I agree that the Krell would not be a good choice, way too agressive together.In this price range (and actually way above) the Yamaha AS2000 is incredibly good for the money with full and smart tone controls and phono. A true bargain if there is o... | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? Totally NOT in agreement with Pubul57.No contest with the Yamaha 2000 series.Circuit topology, parts quality, assembly quality and surface conductvity of signal route is nearly on-par with Accuphase.The AS2000 cannot be compared with an AX-596. Th... | |
| Yamaha A-S2000, Azur 840A V2, or Parasound 2100 I have owned the Cambridge amp and did not like it at all just sounded too dry and transistor like for my taste.The Parasound I cannot comment on, but in all fairness I was never drawn to those products in the first place. In full disclosure I wou... | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? Macrojack - good post but one caveat - I encouraged a friend to purchase one of those '' $ 1.200.00'' A-S2000 new-in-box to replace his aging Krell integrated with something more versatile (and probably better sounding).He could never get that dea... | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? Funny how Juglern had a much different experience.I currently own the A S-2000 Yamaha integrated and matching CD player. It is VERY refined, with a great 3D soundstage. It is not bright at all especially compared to 3 previous integrateds ( McInto... | |
| B&W in best buy It can only and inevitably lower the prestige rating by association. And prestige is a hard-earned value in high-end audio, and a very important one in commanding premium prices by the manufacturer. | |
| NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000 Comparing within the Yamaha quality,I have compared the 2000 versus the 1000 in both integrateds and cd players.I came to the conclusion that the A S-2000 has more refined sonics and is more resolving than the S-1000 (still a nice amp!). The gap i... | |
| NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000 With all due respect, very few have actually seen and heard the new-generation Yamaha AS2000 as they are scarce and seemingly expensive - until you hear one. You might be in for a small shock here. I have done some extensive listening with this am... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Has2be - no need for insults please, this is supposed to be fun! Got it ? | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Has2be - I do not ''critisize peoples intelligence'', just voicing my opinion respectfully - unlike you may I add. No hard feelings, with a bit of experience you might get the hang of it... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Has2be: Cheap shot you are taking here. I have posted countless comments where I always mention that this whole audio circus is ALWAYS subjective. I am JUST providing information to support my opinion, nothing else. Whatever reason you have to tur... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Truman, just a comment. You say ''What? They are just as relevant as they ever were with your choice of free classic rock, jazz, you remember jazz....Open yourself to music beyond your library's borders''Hum, how ironic, that's basically THE POINT... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Unsound you say ''I'm simply suggesting that for some, an FM tuner might be a sound investment'', I am totally in agreement with this! For some, it's OK as I said numerous times before, it is all very subjective. As far as saying that ''There is v... |
