| Under 1k integrated recomendations look at www.sigsound.comaudio aero integrated there, very simple, elegant, great sound. also there's a kora integrated for sale on this site. both i believe are hybrid (tube input stage/solid state output stage) designs which are reliable and soun... | |
| Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping? My shipper told me FedEx ground is handled by RPS, which he has NOT had good results with.I've never had a problem with UPS, over 50 packages shipped to and from. | |

| What is stopping the ultimate? The recording chain (usually dismal in quality) is the weakest link, as several folks have pointed out!Secondly, hi-level crossovers in speakers cause losses that would be avoided with line-level crossovers designed for a particular speaker. Becau... | |
| CD Player/Transport Recommendation? Why not use a DVD player as your transport, say a Sony 7000 or 7700, both very reasonable on the used market, both very good CD transports, and of course double as CD players. However, I would not expect a vast difference in sound quality. Cheers | |
| Aragon 8008BB or Odyssey Stratos power amp Trade your 40s in on the Paradigm Active 40s (amp built right in) and save on amp and speaker cables. The sound will be better than with either amp + speaker cables and would cost roughly the same. Cheers | |
| A good integrated amp for Silverline Sonatina II Can you borrow a tube amp, like the Rogue or VTL or Lavardin? Those might have less tightly damped bass and more bloom in the sound.Keep in mind that neutral equipment is going to be less bass-heavy sounding; most unamplified music just isn't bass... | |
| Tube amp decision? Hi,I share your view of the decware amps as amazingly involving. Even though the dynamics are constrained, especially with a speaker like the sl-3, it is addicting! Steve is also selling a 91-92 sensitive speaker called the RL-2 ( I own the RL-1) ... | |

| Tube Preamp for Rowland 8Ti Why would you want a tube preamp? Doesn't the Wadia go direct? Also tube preamps sometimes have a highish output impedance, which does not typically work well with Rowland amps. The BAT 50SE might work though. CheersTom | |
| Anybody happy with high power Krell? You didn't say why you wanted more power. If you're not happy with the JR, it's possible that solid state amps in general are leaving you cold. There are lots better ways to good sound than spending ever more on huge amps most of whose cost is in ... | |
| Which monitor speakers are the most detailed... You want detailed and musical? If by that you want both of opposing poles, it will never exactly happen, there is always a balance. With the Sim integrated, make sure the speaker is not too tightly damped, or else the sound will lack bass and be s... | |
| High power tube integrated? VTL is a very good bet, unless there are features on the other brands you like that VTL does not have. | |
| Help/Major Problem most likely a tube problem. if you have extras, switch them in. good luck. |
