| Best preamp for my system. I have been auditioning the Allnic L-1500 and it certainly fits your description....a very good linestage and good value for the money IME | |
| Orion Speakers truly great or too finicky I heard these at Mr Linkwitz's home in Marin and they are fabulous...I would own them but I love the gear too much and like to try many things and these are not condusive to this. But they hit way above their weight and compete with anything I am ... | |
| Matching with Audio Note speakers I used a pair of Audio Note ANE/SEC silvers with both sterovox PW-1's and Goldmund 18.4's with very satisfying results. I did prefer them slightly with very good SET amplification but could have lived with the SS as long as the rest of the system ... | |
| Emerald Physics: Same as the Quads in the fifties? I owned and used the Emerald Physics C-2's...I just had to try them in my own system in my own room before forming an opinion. So, IMO they are a very good speaker and an excellent value. I have owned several more expensive speakers that I prefer ... | |
| K&K linestage anyone? I've had the line stage...mood (or moon...can't remember) indigo and also one of Kevins amps...PX-25...great stuff! | |
| $5000 integrated budget: Please help me choose.... Yes the Graaf can be used with adapter but this would essentially defeat the purpose...I had not heard anything about Graaf but if they are out this would be a mojor consideration | |
| $5000 integrated budget: Please help me choose.... If you can run balanced the Graaf 50 is excellent.I used one with a pair of ESP Bodhran ESP SE's (similar specs to your speakers) in a room about the same size as yours and compared to several much more expensive seperates and found it could hold ... | |
| Shindo Latour vs Verity vs DeVore ..etc I have heard the Latour in an all shindo system and have also heard verity parsifal encore/ovation and devore gibbon and nines in other systemsThe verity and devore are very nice speakers but the Latour is at another level entirely IMO...but them ... | |
| Artemis Labs Ph-1 owners..... I have used mine with very good results with a cartridgeman music maker III | |
| Anyone know anything about the Pathos TT I agree with Nickwood....within it's power limits an outstanding amp. | |
| otl vs push/pull I've owned many amps of all variety and with the proper speaker an OTL can be as good as it gets IMOI don't think the modern designs have any problems blowing speakers. | |
| Resloution Audio Opus 21 I think it is very hit and miss with SACD and of course there is limited availability of titles....I personally tried it and don't miss it one bit (no pun intended)The opus is a very good player and with the GNSC mod even better | |
| Passive Preamps? Anyone? I think all the information above is very good, not mentioned (unless I missed it) is the music forst which is a TVC and is very niceI recently did something of a passive shoot out using the Music First copper, Promitheus Ref with Double C-Core, P... | |
| Speakers that can be placed against the wall? I would second the Audio note suggestion and will also add the new KCS SEAS Exotic to this this...Just got a pair and they are terrific...being sealed box you can get them pretty close to the back wall without too much sacrifice | |
| Which Integrated got you off the merry go round? A lot will depend on the speakers and the rest of the system but for a good all-rounder try the Graaf 50B and run it balanced...a really nice piece |
