| New Adcom power amps? I owned Adcom in the early 90's. Tweeter hi fi used to really push that brand. I had the 555 amp and their best preamp, their tuner and cd player connected to Vandersteen 2ci speakers. I thought it was great until I heard the same speakers with... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? JNC...................funny, I don't find the Triton References to be in your face in the least, not in the very least. I have heard many Focals and I do not care for them at all. That Berelium tweeter is like sticking an ice pick in my ears plu... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? @contuzzi.........and just where did you get this information regarding Sandy Gross? I am quite a seasoned audiophile having been into high end audio since the mid 70's and to my ears, you can't get a better speaker for 8500.00. Have you ever... | |
| Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them? I ordered the Acrolink 7N A2110 cables from The Cable Company at $400.00 a pair. They don't stock any of the Acrolink cables so need to be ordered. I placed 1 phone call and 2 email messages and got no response from the Cable Company. Is this t... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? I own the Triton References and like you, felt they reproduced Rock very well. Since over 90% of my listening is to Rock, it was a no brainer to me. I may be wrong but I seriously doubt the Sopras will do Rock the justice it deserves. If you ar... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? I have never owned or heard the impacts or Double Impacts. For one, my wife or I wouldn’t want them in our living room, they are too large and quite unattractive to me. Thats not to say they aren't gorgeous to someone else. To each his or her own.... | |
| Help with upgrading Pre Amp I purchased a Rogue RP-5 a little over a year ago and am totally happy with it. It has plenty of flexibility, remote control and tubes. It is dead quiet and has gotten great reviews. At 3500 retail, it is a great buy and it is built well and qu... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I would go with the Technics. I heard it at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and was totally blown away by it. If I hadn't recently spent 4K on my Prime, I would have bought the Technics. The new arm is excellent and is nothing like the older one ... | |
| Upgrading digital source device is not easy Yes you can. | |
| Upgrading digital source device is not easy Someone here is advertising a Meitnor 25K SACD player for around 7K | |
| Amp upgrade / Did Classe go out of business From what I have read, they are either out or soon going out of business. Thats what happens when a small company gets bought out by a large conglomerate. | |
| New to Magnepan, a volume question Sounds like you need an active preamp. Any of the amps you mentioned would be better than the Adcom. | |
| power conditioner I have a McIntosh MA6600 Integrated, a MCD 301 SACD player and MR85 Tuner and use a Shunyata Hydra 4 Conditioner. They do not limit current and really do work. They went for around a grand new with 4 outlets and I got mine here for 400.00. Peo... | |
| Oppo protection plan ?? According to Consumer Reports, Extended Warrantys on electronics is not in the customers best interest as most of the equipment is obsolete within a couple of years. I have never bought an extended warranty on any of my new equipment and never re... | |
| New Vandersteens or something else? I'm not sure where you are located, but Johnny R at Audio Connection in NJ had most of the Vandersteens on display when I visited him in March while picking up my Prime. Who knows, he may even have something used. Worth a try, I always think of ... |
