| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? In an interview the Chief Engineer at Bryston said that their amps are built to last 40 years or more. That's why their warranty is so good. | |
| Aerial 10T and Aerial 9 Bought my 10T's new about 11 years ago. Thought about upgrading several times but could never justify it. Get the set up and amplification right and you have a speaker that will give you champaign performance for a beer budget.Never tried the 9's ... | |
| Is the Transporter Thanks for the feedback on the Transporter, you make a strong case. I would be looking at an 'SE' version which removed the front knob and the TransNav control from the front. I'd rather have the old version but functionally they are the same.It i... | |
| Is the Transporter Thanks Eniac. A Bryston BDP-1/BDA-1/Bel Canto combo fed by a SB would be a great set up. I use a Bryston amp already. I do need the wireless capability for my situation though.Do you prefer the sound of the Bel Canto DAC over that of the Transport... | |
| Is the Transporter Thanks Ncarv, The fact that the W4S DAC can (and should?) work without a preamp is pretty huge. Since I only have digital sources in my set up that would work. Also, I have always beleived that the fewer intermediate steps (and D/A and A/D convers... | |
| Is the Transporter Erndog,I almost did but it was a little out of my $$ range and I've never had tubes so I was a little apprehensive. Would'nt a tube DAC give you the same effect? | |
| Is the Transporter Good question Ncarv. My original post question was supposed to be: Is the Transporter old news?Can I get better sound than the Transport with a $1500 budget by purchasing a newer DAC like the W4S and connect to my Sonos? Is the squeezebox a better... | |
| Is the Transporter Enia,I know its been out for a few years but I find it curious that Logitech is doing away with a product that seems to be ahead of it's time and unique. Either they have something newer and perhaps better coming or the bean-counters are saying th... | |
| Help with used "rock" speakers under 4K Go with the 10T's. Versatile, high quality speaker and they excel with bass and rock. Ridiculously cheap used prices on A'gon. Good luck. | |
| Your First Vinyl Album. Credence Clearwater Revival...Green River. Great. | |
| Best preamp fpr AR Classic speakers? Thanks for your observations. I missed out on a couple of Ayre AX-7e recently. If can pick one up I may go that direction and probably sell the Nak. Is the Ayre under powered (based on Tvad's comments) ?How would an Ayre preamp like the 5xe sound ... | |
| Best amps for rock and heavy metal I am also using Aerial 10T's but driving them with Bryston 7bST monoblocks. Great combo for heavy metal. | |
| Review: Aerial 20 T .2 Speaker Brain,Thanks for the review. I bought a pair of 10T's about 6 years ago and still really like them. I admit being tempted though when I see a pair of 20T's come up for sale.What does Mike charge for the upgrade?Vincent | |
| Amp Upgrade for Aerial 10t's Mike,I've used Bryston 7bST monos with my 10T's for about three years. Great range and tight base. Good luck. | |
| Best Sounding Room at the HE 2006 Show? Another thumbs up for Usher. Great stuff especially for the $$.Did anyone stop by the Studio Electric room ? I was very impressed with the Nautilus-looking Studio Electric Type One/XLR-8 combo. |
