| REGA Planet comparisons In my opinion, I know of many players better than the Planet. Please don't take this the wrong way, the Planet is a wonderful player, and anyone who spends time with one understands how underrated it actually is. I have sold some of this equipment... | |
| Carver M1.5T amp VS. NAD 2600PE amp Please see my post on your other thread. In short, maybe's something is wrong with the NAD, they'll have NO problem driving that load. As far as Carver goes, I used to sell it(along with Adcom & Sony). It was midway between Sony(worse) and Adc... | |
| Legacy Audio Stuff To those who checked in expressing their joy of owning Legacy speakers, I say wonderful! It's great you love what yoy have. Never let anyone say you're wrong. In my experience, I have been disappointed by Legacy. I once auditioned a used pair. The... | |
| Does anyone know if neutral cables exist Carl, you can get pure copper(4 nines, I recall), not brass(advertised) RCA's from a brand Kimon Bellas repesents in the US, AXON. They are gold plated, and VERY cheap. They've been on my short list, but I just have yet to see if they make a worth... | |
| Amp overload,! NAD 2600 & maggies 3.5 You may want to have someone check the amp. I have had a 2600A since 1987. Over the years it's driven some REAL tough loads. I'm talking Acoustat and Apogee, which have much more demanding impedances than the Maggies. I've also driven some tough d... | |
| Best musician in the world? Gino, You certainly know what you're talking about! Love your philosophy. Here's another good one, Sonny Rollins. Blue Note recordings are great. Or a real sleeper... The soundtrack to the movie Aflie. This piece is absolute gold. Happy listening | |
| Speaker Cable : Low/Mid Priced Advice Sean, you're right on the money! My cable experiences have paralleled yours. If you don't know what direction you're going long term, try AQ or Synergistic Research. Both middle of the road. Tubes can use more forward cables like Kimber, StraightW... | |
| Does anyone know if neutral cables exist From my experience, I seem agree with Stereophile's assessment of Audioquest. They seem to sound midway between the "soft" cables like MIT(see a LOT of Krell people with these...) & Monster, and the "forward" cables Straightwire, Wireworld, Ki... | |
| Cd direct to power amp I run CD direct in my third system. It's lower end stuff, Pioneer CDP into an NAD 2600A amp. I have used this for 13 years with very good results. I tried 3 preamps over the years(Sony, Counterpoint, & AR), none did anything other than worsen ... | |
| Is 45W enough power to drive B&W N805? Haven't heard them with many tube amps, but I can tell you to be careful. I did hear them with C-J CAV-50, and it didn't have enough to drive them(by any stretch of the imagination). The current demands were too great for this intergrated amp(just... | |
| Speakers for Audio Analogue Pucinni SE Some others: the less expensive models from Coincident or Meadowlark, or the Triangle Antal(really good with this amp). All of this are VERY easy to drive, and will highlight the characteristics of this very fine amp. These combinations will all m... | |
| Best musician in the world? Right, good question Gino. But, I'll offer my opinion. Miles Davis. To me, he's like Tiger Woods. Everyone else(and there are a LOT of great ones) is just playing for second place. Just spend a weekend with KIND OF BLUE. At first, maybe not that i... | |
| Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD? I looked at the reviews @ AudioReview.com. If there is one adjective to describe the people's feelings on NAD, it would be "glowing". I looked at many a model, and saw VERY little in the way of negativity. I saw only one person with a problem, and... | |
| Bi-amping...help appreciated You're in luck! Both of the pieces are NAD. There is extensive documentation from NAD on doing this. It is discussed in their sales literature, but not in detail. They do recommend it as the logical upgrade path. While I do have an NAD amp, I've n... | |
| Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD? I don't think you can go wrong with NAD. My first "real" high end amp was an NAD. I too, was a poor college kid at that time. I STILL have it 13 years later, in my 3rd system. The sound is very good, much closer to the real good stuff than it is t... |
