in my experience a well built neutral amplifier paired with high perfromance wires and interconnects and room treatments and well designed speakers[ there are hundreds out there] can achieve great listening satisfaction. but i can enjoy music on car radio, walking around with ipod and shure headphones or sophistcated audio gear. i just love music and this hobby. it's the journey not the destination to me. thanks john
omnivore newbie's dilemma
Looking for a few suggestions for sound.
I listen to intense music..a lot of contemporary classical stuff, computer and electronic music, jazz. I got bitten by the audio bug on a trip to Turkey, after listening to a number of great systems, all out of my price range by about 5 or 6 figures. My friend had me listen to an "inexpensive" setup though which I liked the sound of: proac tablets, primaluna amp and I think rega jupiter CD player. Something like that.
So far, I've only managed to score the proac tablets. I'm taking most of the music from imac to a beefy but inexpensive JVC amp and directly into the tablets. It sounds really beautiful but I'm thinking of grabbing the tube amp for a little more detail, etc. Am I on the right track?
