| Multichannel amp- Butler 5150 vs. Lexicon RX7 Have not heard the Lexicon amp so cannot compare, but the Butler TDB 5150 has been an excellent addition to my HT system and has performed flawlessly for about 6-7 years now. It's not super +tubey" sounding; I'd describe it as somewhere in between... | |
| I can't handle digital after analog light my fire Methinks the OP probably has the wrong CD player, and his analog rig is simply better. The days of truly bad CD sound are long gone, unless one pulls out some '80s digital... | |
| The most dynamic speaker you've heard... Avantgarde Duo Omega. | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Cary SLP-05 does it all with panache for $8K. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Tubes can rock HARD (as mine do), you simply need the right amp/speaker match. | |
| Best speaker on used market around 10,000.00 Avantgarde Unos or (if you're lucky) Duos. | |
| Valve phono or valve linestage? Like Atmasphere, I say "BOTH" should be tubes. Plenty of quiet tube phono stages exist, and the harmonic development improvement is too important to leave behind. | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm I would suggest what you need are...new speakers. High sensitivity speakers make low sensitivity speaks sound like they have a wet blanket over them. | |
| Class A, 6SN7 pre amp with zero feedback You can order Cary SLP-98 that way (see for example Upscale Audio's options - no affiliation, just a happy customer). Not sure about SLP-05. | |
| Why has Avantgarde Quality Slipped ? I've had nothing but superb interactions with Avantgarde, and my 10 year old Duos (which I later upgraded to Duo Omegas with the kit supplied by Avantgarde) continue to perform flawlessly. | |
| IPod to home stereo - How to get best sound? But what about those of us who need USB out from the dock? I DO NOT want my computer in my lsitening room, just to listen to Lossless files on my iPhone through my high-end DAC with USB (and no SPDIF) input. | |
| 10K$ Speakers for 845 SET amplification Used Avantgarde Unos or (perhaps) Trios can be had in that price range. Full range and 100-107dB sensitivity. | |
| W-B full circle with Act 0.5. What cartridges? Have only used mine with MMs - Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood and (now) Clearaudio Maestro Wood. Happy matches at the lower end of the price scale. | |
| Abbingdon music research AMR cd-77 is how good? I view my CD-77.1 as reference class, but admittedly have not heard latest DcS stack and other contenders. | |
| Upscale Audio -- Tubes and Reliability Yep, Kevin rules! Happy component and tube customer for many moons. |
