| Most "Ruthlessly Revealing" Speakers. Your opinion VMPS RM 40's. I'm also recently a dealer for them but please accept my opinion as honest. The planar mids with the neo magnets and the ribbon tweeters let all the sound out that's in every pit. In my opinion planars, ribbons and electrostatics jus... | |
| krell ksa 80 vs. krell ksa100s One thing to keep in mind is that for every doubleing in output power there's only a loudness increase of 3db. Three db is just a little more than noticeable. | |
| Improving sub quality When it comes to placement you'll have to decide. Obviously major differences between all of our rooms and preferences. You may want to read about room acoustics if you haven't. A bass trap or two can do alot of good when you have honest bass down... | |
| $1000 to spend on an amp used A Parasound 1500A or Rotel 1080 would be good choices. Used prices are about 500 and 750 respectively. Get the Parasound and sell your source and with the extra money get a Marantz SA 8260 or Jolida 100 or whatever you can afford. Do a little rese... | |
| Need some advise on DAC's please.... Haven't heard it but the Scott Nixon Tubedac has received alot of excellent user feedback and they're only about 500. | |
| Expert Glare Tamer Required And More Depth Please Read up on room acoustics. The improvements can be huge at best and quite an improvement no matter what. | |
| What is the best value you have encountered? VMPS speakers. Owned them since 96 and just recently became a dealer for them. Truly outstanding speakers for the money. | |
| best preamp for a MC-252 for under $1500 First let me qualify this by stating I've been a dealer for 2 mos but have owned VMPS speakers for 9+ years and have been recommending them as a must listen for years. Rather than take my word for it here's a list of current reviews:http://www.aud... | |
| best preamp for a MC-252 for under $1500 It could be your power. New power lines usually only cost 2 to 400. Only you'll be able to tell if it's the power. You may consider getting a power conditioner like a Powervar or Oneac for the cd player and see if that helps. The power supply in t... | |
| Help me choose an amp I'm using a Parasound HCA 3500 with my ARC LS 16 and am very happy with the combo. Actually sold one HCA 3500 to try another amp and bought another 3500. | |
| Should I pay a lot for a DAC? You should state what your system is. An inexpensive system that is only worth 1500 would not usually make a 700 dollar dac a decent investment, then again it's possible. If you're using highly transparent speakers, amps etc. then the dac can make... | |
| best preamp for a MC-252 for under $1500 Your best bet would be to spend the money on speakers. Running your cd player through your amp shouldn't be a problem. Do some reading and ask for help. Forget about distortion specs on amps and preamps as most are so low as to be a non issue. The... | |
| Question for Marantz owners I've got a Marantz SA8260. CD sound as well as SACD soundly bests the Sony 555es I had been using. The treble is much more articulate on my ribbon tweeters. Mids are much more natural and the bass is about the same, maybe a tad softer. Overall I'm... | |
| marsh a400 vs. parasound 21a I'm using a Parasound HCA 3500, second one. Owned the Marsh in between having the two Parasounds. I'd opt for the Parasound. Also the Marsh isn't as good at driving low impedances as the Parasound. The Marsh was a very good amp though but I like t... | |
| Son of Ampzilla 2000 or McCormack DNA225 amp? You may want to post this in the Vmps forum at audiocircle.com as there's a number of people who've heard the SOA2000. |
