| Have 5 Talon Khites 2002. Which amp to use? Hard to go wrong with the Bryston...Pass is excellent as well just quite pricier. | |
| Marsh or McCormack Listen to both if possible. I would take the TAS Marsh review with a grain of salt (tho they also reviewed and were impressed by the McC) as they have also raved about products in the past designed by Marsh that I thought were disappointing, like ... | |
| Have you heard the Aria amps by Mike Elliott? I also owned a totally modded NPS-100 (different design, in some ways similar sounding to the NP-100) and the sound could be extraordinary.PhilD, great system...a keeper for life! | |
| Best system for the budding audiophile? I agree the Maggies sound great, but if someone wants ease of placement and wants to hear all of the music when he's off in the kitchen somewhere, Maggies aren't the best choice...they're so directional at the higher frequencies. Pick soemthing wi... | |
| Best system for the budding audiophile? 1) Find speakers that you like. Recommend PMC, Spendor, Harbeth as examples of well rounded speakers that have excellent build quality and satifying all round sound. PMC has a floorstander with a transmission line bass loading that is excellent in... | |
| Solid Core Power Cord Audioquest AC-15 is fine and inexpensive, and with the upgraded connectors, decent built quality. Uses solid core conductors and those RFI collars.HCM Audio has these at a 'discount', around 50-75 each, definitely one of the 'value leaders' in the... | |
| Counterpoint 5000 owners.... this description might answer your question....?Also: with the SA-1000 to get mc phono you inserted a jumper to enable the first FET gain stage, and the second tube stage was the same as the MM stage. I do not know whether the SA-5000 can switch b... | |
| Transports not important any longer? NTIf that's your question. | |
| Good tube CD player beside AH & Heart ?? www.audiooutlet.com has a CJ dac on sale for 1200 (under "special promotions"). But you would need a transport. A nice unit.Tomno connection to the shop, just an occasional visitor | |
| Eidolon, Amati Homage, or Watt? I would give these a listen, they're supposedly great sounding and are in the ballpark in terms of $$$.unfortunately, i have not listened to them, it's just an off the cuff suggestion! | |

| Cartridge suggestions for Rega 25 Grado synergy with Rega is excellent, I can attest.The hum is not a big problem.However, to be on the safe side, you could order one of the 1.5 mv versions, if you have enought phono gain, eliminating the hum issue. | |
| Best Amplifier for Dynaudio Contour 3.3s? The new Plinius SA-102 has around 100 watts but dual transformers...extra high current. An incredible amplifier, I've heard. If you do not have a huge room this might work. Also check out the Ayre V-1 or V-3...outstanding amps. | |
| Tube or SS Preamp with electrostatics & ML amp? Krell KRC-HR - there's a used one here for around 2600 and a great preamp, the best they made until the newer models. It has balanced ins and outs, and would match well with the Levinson I presume.I believe with your amp it's best to go balanced. ... | |
