| Moving from CD to analog Generally, I would agree not to get started but with your budget and the quality of the system you already have I'd suggest two things.Get ride of the CD player, rip your CDs and go computer based. You don't have to spend a great deal to get much ... | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? I'm sure you've heard about the generally different distortion characteristics between tube and solid state amplifiers. I find the difference quite dramatic and I'm driving my tube amplifiers with a solid state preamplifier.If it's simply a matter... | |
| Need help in deciding +1 wow, some excellent suggestions.Regarding your NuForce amplifiers. The suggestion to hold on to them for now and become familiar with a new preamp is good advise. I upgraded from version 1 SEs to version 3. While the upgrade was audible It made... | |
| Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse I think Ayre sources from Cardas. Then there was that whole Spectral / MIT / Avalon 2/3D period. | |
| I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company Response34, pardon my questions. I assumed you were from emo. Your Purity preamplifiers are very interesting. | |
| Audible Illusions 3A vs Belles 28A Wouldn't haveing preactial experience with the Bells as well as some knowledge of system synergy be more helpful to the original poster?I've owned two versions of the M3A and I wouldn't dare recommend either of them for a number of reasons. | |
| How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge $4000 Benz on a $200 Well Tempered turntable rebuild. I believe everything matters in audio. As such, you're obviously not going to get the best from a high dollar cartridge but you'll most likely get everything a cheap turntable has to offer. | |

What preamplifier are you talking about that has been shown with the VTAs?The majority of shows posted show the VTAs being paired with Purity Audio pre's.Bob needs engineering support from emo engineers, really... | |
| Argo's Oscar nominations look like... I'm definitely stupid. I'm still able to do everything I did fifty years ago and actually a bit more here in California.Are you sure you're OK?Been pulled over for no reason? Can't buy liquor on Sunday?Bad hair day? Haven't gotten a raise in the l... | |
| I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company Audiolabyrinth, bravo! Very well said, I couldn't agree more. | |
| Dear Moderator It takes something like this to realize I really am a blundering old fud. Oh Well,If the Gon allowed my post I guess I'll have to stand behind it and take it on the head by the legions thrifty Emothia users. | |
| Subtantial improvement over Emotiva XPA-1's? I'd go with tubes and not worry about the D1's bass response. Supplement with a small sub/s that would have control your rooms bass EQ.You'd end up with the lushness of tubes and deeper more controlled bass. | |
| Argo's Oscar nominations look like... I'm an idiot. What rights am I losing? | |
| Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April Tim, nice post. I too have found Guido and Al to be helpful, informative, as well as speaking for the new third choice in amplification. Not exactly an easy task with the immediate skepticism that accompanied the advent modern switching amplifiers... |
