| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. @pal I am looking for a greater sense of presence in the music. More body in the vocals and space between instruments. This part is very helpful - now we understand what you're looking for. I actually think your speakers are holding you bac... | |
| Phono pre amp In fact there's a Chinook listed today:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa2bdc-manley-chinook-special-edition-phono | |
| Width of Stage @millercarbon I don't disagree at all. | |
| Width of Stage LPs will always be the highest sound quality if you have a great TT and cartridge. Well it's great this issue is finally settled. lol | |
| Phono pre amp I would consider the Allnic H-1202, Herron VTPH-2A, and Modwright PH9.0 at that price point. All excellent - depends on the sound and features you're looking for. Many reviews available online for all three. | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. @pal As @klh007 asked, what can you tell us about the sonics you’re seeking in an upgrade that you’re not getting from your amp? I can’t believe (well yes I can) people are just recommending gear left and right without even understanding your musi... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @shahram The Pass is better from top to bottom compared to the Cary. There is simply more weight, texture, and saturation across the entire frequency range. There's a blacker background and hence more dynamic range. Plus the soundstage is muc... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @shahram What tube amp did you use previously? I had a Cary CAD120S MKii, rated 60w in triode and 120w in ultralinear. Even in UL mode it didn’t come close to driving the D7’s like the XA30.8 can. When you are listening at what you consider a l... | |
| What are small gold colored "caps" that came in bag with perfect path products? "is anyone suggesting something other than RFI/EMI rejection is going on here?"Yes because they are:"...treated with some of their magic type stuff." | |
| Jelco tonearms closes Another link to the story: http://av2day.com/2020/05/tonearm-maker-jelco-closes-up-shop/ | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @shahram But part of me really wants to hear what this speaker can do with a Tube power amp...the dilemma continues! You likely won't come close to getting the low-end grip (both weight and speed) of SS with a tube amp and you will almost def... | |
| Sub for stereo receiver? I think I need a pseudonym...or at least a stage name. I will ponder this over an adult beverage this evening. | |
| What kind of listener are you? my ex-wife said I was a terrible listener. My audio system and record collection disagree ;-) | |
| How many people here generally buy used? I will also say that I've broken down and bought new when a used item I'm coveting just never seems to appear on the used market. | |
| How many people here generally buy used? 75% used or demo. A couple of trades mixed in. I'm a bit squeamish about buying used TT's but perhaps I shouldn't be - have bought all tables new except one vintage AR over the years. |
