| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Thanks Paul for the suggestions. I'll look into the Accuphase gear when I have a chance, but unlike a lot of folk on the Audiogon, this will be my last purchase for many years. I'm a university professor on a decent but certainly not an extravagan... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Thanks for the suggestions, Dob. I've seriously considered investing in a good integrated Class D amp just for the summers, and I was thinking about a Rowland. I'm not sure that Rowland is as good a match for my speakers for most of the year though. | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Paul, you are the second person to have written me recommending Accuphase. I"m going to have to seriously consider this. I got a private email prior to your post here. In Seoul, Korea, where I live, Accuphase is not too badly priced either. I coul... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Yes, I like the idea of high quality integrated amplifiers as well. Thanks for the recommendation. I've been reading on this amplifier and it looks like it's basically the same components and circuitry of the separate preamp and amp combined into ... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Thanks very much for the reply, Phaelon. The speakers were a bit close together at my old apartment, but I recently moved into a new house, and have a dedicated listening room that does much better justice to the speakers. The old space was L-shap... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Would the newer Krell Evolution amps be a better combination with the Focals than the older Krells? Though I know they get extremely hot, I've heard such good things about the Atma-spheres that I might consider the trade-off. Would they be an appr... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias I wanted to add, but I was limited by space, that I would prefer an amp that runs reasonably cool as the summers where I live are quite humid and hot. Anything that turns the room into a furnace in the summertime is pretty much out of the question... | |
| Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 I've had my unit for seven years now, but I'm strongly considering replacing it. I have no problems with the sound of the unit. I've always loved the sound when paired with my Focal/JM Lab Alto Utopia speakers. My problem comes with the reliabilit... | |
| A Question About Audio Racks Thanks for all the advice. We do have MDF in Korea. In fact one company, Bauhaus, produces entire racks from them at a very inexpensive price. In fact, I've bought several LP racks from them already, all made from MDF. Those look quite good in the... | |
| A Question About Audio Racks Thank you gentlemen for your replies. And I particularly appreciate knowing about the problems of marble as shelf material. Thank you. | |
| Thanks to Raul. Raul is the man. Helped me a lot with good advice. | |
| Al Green DVD Audio It uses DVI, but I have both the component and DVI plugs connected. Looks like the problem is relatively fixed. Using the "search" button in the upper left and then inputing the number 6 or 5 brings up the tracklist for stereo or surround respecti... | |
| Al Green DVD Audio No It doesn't. And I think what I need is the DVD Video menu for DVD Audio discs in order to get it to work. It now comes up on my Panasonic DVD Recorder once I set it up for showing DVD Video with a DVD Audio disc. But this doesn't work with the ... | |
| New TT ideas please "Luck Brand" no. His name is "Dollar Brand." | |
| Esoteric DV-50s,X-03 Vs Musical Fidelity Trivista I own both the DV-50S and the Nu-Vista player. They go into a Tri-Vista amp. I like the Esoteric a lot, but I was a bit disappointed with it on SACD. This improved a bit when I moved my speakers around, but I suspect I would prefer the Tri-Vista S... |
