| Dac Upgrade The integrated amp appears to be a good match for the speakers. However, they are not very sensitive and are rated @ 4 ohm. It would seem that an increase in amplifier power or perhaps bi-amping would really make them sing. If there is an extra am... | |
| Are There Improvements that Can Be Easily and Quickly Made Without Buying More Stuff? If a high current amplifier is being routed through a surge protector, bypass the protector and plug the amplifier directly into the wall outlet. | |
| Are There Improvements that Can Be Easily and Quickly Made Without Buying More Stuff? Ensure routing of wires is neat and tidy. If power cables must intersect with signal cables, make it at a 90 deg angle for as little interference as possible. Make sure speaker wires are tight. Check that all woofers, midranges and tweeters are ... | |

| Your thoughts/experience with very good, cheap tuners? The Sony xdr-f1hd is tough to be in stock form yet also tough to keep cool. Get one modified by the XDR guy and you have an endgame unit. If one is available to purchase. He appears to be backlogged until retirement. These units are not exactly ch... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps If the board can be traced, chances are it can be repaired. Schematics would be super helpful as well yet some companies are reluctant to break loose with such information…. | |
| Turntable purchase advice sought Technics are solid performers. An Sl-Q3 and a 1600 mk2 are in the stables here. The Q3 is nice due to being able to set the number of times it repeats. Alongside it is a VPI HW-19 mk something or other. It’s nice to have them alongside each other.... | |
| Amp for Vandersteen 2ci May want to be wary of older Belles as finding someone to work on them is a bit tricky. The 350a is also a known “quirky” unit. If using the balanced outputs on the preamp, give Bryson a look. Whatever is purchased, ensure that the minimum 10:1 im... | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range If mono amps are an item you have interest in, the Marantz MA-700’s may be something worth considering. The MA-500’s powered a set of my speakers for many years. Good amount of power for little cash. | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range Someone else’s headache may be your blessing. Some units work in some systems. Others are total stinkers. Match the needed speakers load requirements to the amp and read as many reviews as possible. | |
| Improve sound Although your speakers have a fairly high sensitivity specification, they are a 4 ohm impedance load. Your amp does not provide a spec into a 4 ohm load. My guess is an amp is needed that likes a 4 ohm load or find a speaker with 8 ohm impedance. | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range As previously mentioned above, Schiit, Odyssey and Parasound. Although personally I have zero experience with Parasound amps and cannot vouch for their prowess. | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range “a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range” Dude, the options are nearly limitless. Especially when factoring in new and or used. Hafler, Acurus, Aragon, Van Alstine are but a few brands that provide rock solid performance for <1k. Mus... |
