| Anyone familar with Snell Type A I have an original pair of Type A's. I bought them in 1977 or 1978. They were expensive for me then, but, actually, they were one of the purchases that convinced me that the prudent thing to do is get what you want the first time and keep it. I've... | |
| unattached newbie seeks compatible dac Thank you for the responses. I still wonder about new versus old. For example: a new Havana costs about $900. A new USB Benchmark about $1300. On Audiogon there is a used Bel Canto for $1750 (current model) and a used Mark Levinson 36s for the sam... | |
| I seek your guidance - re turntable Oregon - I looked at them, thank you. Nice work. I do a little wood working myself and appreciate what you've got. In fact, I recently had to go to Oregon (on the internet) to find a piece of wood for a shelf for my preamp and dac - the only place... | |
| I seek your guidance - re turntable Yes - I saw the scout too late. Looked like a good deal. There's a VPI HW-19 MK II for sale on ebay with a power conditioner (nice to have?) and a Premier ft-3 arm. I don't know how it's different from the III. Was I happy with the Technics? Well,... | |
| starting from scratch almost , need advice Danmyers - thank you for the link. It looks like it would work well, and I appreciate the advice on SACD. I am in a place (central Florida) where it is impossible to audition equipment. Can anyone comment on the sound of the A5.5? | |
| starting from scratch almost , need advice Please ignore typo in last post (amps for watts) - should not post before awake. I do see that there is a Musical Fidelity A5.5 integrated amp with a USB input and 250 wpc. Could I not go directly from the iMac to that? Does anyone have experience... | |
| starting from scratch almost , need advice Thanks for the responses. I think I need at least 100 amps for these speakers, would probably prefer 150 to 250. That seems to leave out the Peachtree and maybe the Music Hall. I don't now have a SACD collection - but as my wife and friends compla... | |
| Best Mainstream Receiver for 2 Channel Audio I have a new (less than one month old) Pioneer Elite SC-07. Very impressive specs, some good reviews. I am going in the opposite direction, will sell the Pioneer at a great price if you're interested after doing your research. | |
| what is a lazy old audiophile to do? Thank you very much for this response. I didn't even know these things exist. Apparently there are also converters that can be put between the computer and the DAC. Now I need to find out which DAC ... will check out the Bel Canto and others. Site... |
