| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... I usually use VDH the First but cant locate them after my move so I am using some from long ago. Still does not sound bad | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... I want to revise my previous post, I now have a a Townsend Allegri and it is the best I have had. HiFi Critic called it one of the best bargains in audio. A passive but I have had no trouble with several amps. CJ 350, Gamut 200 for example | |
| Evansville,Indiana I now have a Gamut 200 amp and a Metrum Hex. Sounds very good. I would like to have someone come over. | |
| Recommended Power Amp watts vs Speaker Watt power handling ability The best amps do double. Something like big Krells or CJ 350 or the large Musical Fidelities. But these are expensive and heavy. Never depend one of the meters as they lag behind. The LEDs work well but I think they are out of fashion. | |

| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) I am using the Townsend Allegri Passive pre. I have used Creek and Audio Synthesis before and it is considerably better. I liked it so well that I was going to become a dealer before I got sick. It has a big lead in the Colloms sound rating on the... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? $1800 + shipping. Made us both happy as he went to tubes and I am SS | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? I just got a D200 for a very good price. Watch the ads and bide your time. | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? I have gamut amp and speakers but different pre and CD player. I have a pile of gear and find mix and match works fine. But do what you like, no ones opinion counts. | |
| Aragon or Audio Research If you like what you have don't change. If you can borrow a tube unit and see if you like it better. Tube and SS sound different and you will probably like one or the other. I have some of each and they do not sound the same. I now use passive but... | |
| The "Digital" listening experience That is true;years ago I discussed music with the conductor of a local ochresta and he liked digital as he could play it louder. This was in the days of bad digital. I can not spell well enough to get my spell check to function. Years ago a player... | |
| Mogami A post so nice I put it in twice. | |
| Mogami It came and I found it surprising; syprisingly bad. I had been half convinced by the " doesn't make that much difference" squad. I have always found it to make a big difference and I was right. My backup was better in every respect. Of course my b... |
