| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . I hope all of you appreciated my reference to analog for the sarcastic rhetoric that it was. While it's true that I do in the end prefer digital to analog, I am not deaf to the charms of analog. I was just trying to reflect how ugly prejudice can ... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Seantaylor99, the Tact and Spectron web sites have rudimentary explanations of how thier specific gear works, as is usually the case there is more than one way to skin a cat. In the not too distant future your price point may be met on the used ma... | |
| Seek Tube Amp to Flip-Flop with SS Amp Conrad-Johnson now owns McCormack. Many people here on Audiogon seem to like the sound of these two when combined. They have similar specs. If the rest of your system works with McCormack it should inter-face with C-J (at least on paper). Most peo... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Rockhead has a good point, just as in other technologies people will prefer one appraoch more than another. This is even more of an issue with what a new (in the big picture of things) approach. While it may not be perfect (what is?) I can't help ... | |
| Which Amp Would You Buy Not knowing the rest of the system and personal priorities it's some what futile, how ever I would consider a Conrad-Johnson MF 2300 A. | |
| Wanteds.. I check them frequently. Almost every time I log on. I am surprised that most seem to be seeking fairly new items. I thought more interest would be in "classic" gear. | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Marakanetz, can you be more specific as to the abberations you heard via the Tact? I do believe that a turntable requires some "correction" (RIAA) to restore the original sound. Edle, I believe it is possible to keep the signal in the digital doma... | |
| How good is Electraglide? I don't doubt the sincerity of "A Sanctuary Of Sound" but at some level some issues may go back to the manufacturer. So far consumers and a dealer have left little doubt about some level of customer contempt. In the big scheme of things I can't im... | |
| How good is Electraglide? Hhhmmm, let me get this. A dealer recommends going through a dealer. The manufacturer sells direct. The dealer can't defend the manufacturer's customer service policy because his policies "have a tendency to first and foremost look out for his own... | |
| Amps get all the thunder, what about preamps? Are you interested in a traditional pre-amp with a phono stage? Do you have specific MM and/or MC requirements? If not for a little more money a used TacT might offer the biggest bang for the buck. | |
| B&K vs. Aragon I'm not familiar with your speakers. Amps and speakers require more attention when being matched than most other combinations. I mention this because my experience with B@K components lead me believe that while the ST-140 has some nice qualities t... | |
| consensus on passive preamps? I have gone from passive to active for practical reasons. When my child was born in seemed prudent to move as much equipment away from curious fingers as possible. Longer interconnects were required and the demands for a sucessful passive system w... | |
| any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp? Sean, I agree that having more "reviewers/audio scientists" would be most advantageous. While our ears are the measurement tool that demands the highest criterion priority.While our ears may be the most sensitive measuring device they may also be ... | |
| Collective letter s to Stereophile I'll play devil's advocate. Perhaps Stereophile prefers to review products from established manufacturers with wide distribution and the resources to follow up with customer service. The magazine has more appeal if it can lead consumers to product... | |
| any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp? Edle, if I am following you correctly, you are implying that tubes are poor at simple replication yet superior at complex replication. Perhaps tubes present a sound closer to what we desire but solid state presents a sound that is closer to the or... |
