| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations Very impressed with my new Exposure 2510.. very nice phono amp as well… took about a month for it to settle in… | |
| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend Decware phone pre + Hana SL or Dynavector. I added Allnic 1201 and the Hana to a similar stereo and was amazed at the improvement…. | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… @bekeske Beautiful stuff ! Got back into reviews and such while needing an amp for a bedroom system ( and waiting for main amp to return from service). Never heard of Belles. Those amps look great, but I’m looking to downsize the big system and t... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Update: I’m in deep wait mode for the Mesa, down to just the bedroom stereo which was never great so the upgrade bug is buzzing. Always used cheap WiFi or Bluetooth devices (Audioengine bifi, b1 andIFi Zen blue) to stream from my phone. The new ... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Thanks, your right about the Mites, though I’m starting to think they are meant for closer listening. I think they sound much better when you get closer than usual. Now that it’s my only stereo - playing around with it and getting the speakers on... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Lol. | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Thanks.. Hope to have it back in a few months.. I’m borrowing a small Parasound Zamp and gotta say it’s pretty dull sounding compared to the Mesa. Nothing sounds real. Not much of an audiophile since really only listened through the Mesa for twent... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Fellow at Mesa said they made a couple hundred of these… gotta keep it going. Thanks. | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… UPDATE : spoke with Mesa and they advised I send it in. The rep sounded like they are confident they can fix/restore the amp, it’s going to take a few months bit jazzed they were so positive. Btw, the rep noted that many of their guitar amps are... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Definitely staying with tubes in my bigger system. Talking to Mesa tomorrow so I’ll get some clarity about servicing it soon. Long Long waiting lines for lots of new gear…there’s a minty B&k st1200 60w amp on audiogon now, for 200.00. The Mes... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Yes, the little Decware amp would likely sound great with my record system speakers….. just checked Decware’s waiting list… 1,400 orders ! | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Ibmjunkman: Mesa got in and out of the home stereo space years ago and pretty quickly. They also had a amplifier known as the Baron which was I believe more powerful. | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Thanks all. Yes, the Mesa had 28watts in full pentode mode and killed it with rock and electric music. Could startle you sometimes. Btw, you could switch the sound to triode, at least to me with some records, piano was great in triode. Never had a... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Thanks again everyone. Eventually will bring the Mesa to a local repair for an appraisal, though it was really smoking and chugging when I pulled the plug perhaps it’s salvageable. Still looking for SS amp.. Van Alstine 120 really sounds interesti... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Yes, noticed the hybrid trend when reading up last week. The Croft hybrid is $1895 with a phono amp and certainly gets great reviews. Not sure about reliability or heat issues since it will often be on 24/7 and doesn’t have a “ sleep” mode. Don’t ... |
