| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 jazzman7 Doug recommended the 16, but said the 8 would also work. He discouraged me from some of the 15.5 listed for sale. mrdecibel No offense taken. Your thoughts make total sense. My ceilings are 20 feet high and the is 25 feet long and 16 ... | |
| San Diego Audiophile group? I am also interested. A bit away in Temecula. | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs SPL Elector vs PS Audio StellarGold UPDATE: I purchased a used Benchmark LA4 and a pair of PS Audio M700 mono blocks from a seller listing both. Got a great deal on the LA4 by also buying the M700 pair. I honestly expected to flip the M700 pair. The LA4 was an amazing upgrade over... | |
| Upgrade Nakamichi PA 7All power amp with mono blocks @decooney We seem to have similar taste. I am picking up a used Benchmark LA4 preamp this weekend. I leveraged the purchase to also pick up a pair of PS Audio M700 power amps used. I suspect the LA4 will be my long-term preamp, but I will do ... | |
| Upgrade Nakamichi PA 7All power amp with mono blocks @ellajeanelle @decooney I have decided to explore upgrading the pre-amp first. Too many people have said the PA-7AII may be the strong point in the system and that the NAD may be the weak link. I am focusing on the SPL Elector and the PS Audio... | |
| Upgrade Nakamichi PA 7All power amp with mono blocks @decooney thanks for the offer. My unit was refurbished two years ago. | |
| Upgrade Nakamichi PA 7All power amp with mono blocks @ellajeanelle thank you for your thoughts. PS Audio sounds like a decent upgrade for me. I am also interested in their Stellar Gold pre-amp. Have you used the Tyr mono blocks, or is your concern with other items in their portfolio. I found th... | |
| New to Streaming The Bluesound Node or X is a decent starting point. I actually preferred the Eversolo DMP-6 (by a large margin). Both have an internal DAC with the DMP-6 being much better. I prefer a separate DAC, but that pushes your budget past $1k. For $15... | |

| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? In 1979 I took an Audio Physics course (all physics principles taught through the lens of a stereo system). I was hooked. Went out and purchased (my first credit purchase) a 40 Watt Luxman Receiver, a Phillips 777 Turntable with an ATN14 Shibata S... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I have owned a pair of Acoustat 1+1 speakers for over 30 years (bought them used for $350 from someone that did not believe in using subwoofers). Essentially I have upgraded every component of my system over that time. Currently going through my... | |
| Anyone try a SUB THREE from Vandersteen yet? I understand this is an old thread, but it is right in the middle of what I am considering. I have an old Vandersteen 2W (over 25 years in my system) with a pair of Acoustat 1+1's. I replaced my NAD 7600 with a Nakamichi PA 7Aii power amp and an... |
