Incredible Audio System for $1K
First this Solid State system sounds as good as having a midrange cost tube amp. Most important sre the Speakers. I bought used Monitor Audio Silver 3i. They sound about as good as my previous Revel M22 that is a serious performing speaker. Next is a Douk NS-13G class D amplifier. This amp is stunning. Sounds same as a midrange cost tube amp. Produces 60 Watts RMS per channel. Uses newer Texas Instruments TPA3255 power amp that many report here is a serious performer. The amp has phono and 1 volt Aux input. It also has treble and bass controls. Using NE5532P op amps, it can be replaced with Muses 02 amps for greater performance, The tunable is a Pioneer. PL-30-K that is also a good performer. I bought open box on eBay for $299. Box was sealed never opened. I replaced cheap cartridge with a AT VM95E. Not quite the VM540ML but is a good performer. Finally, I bought a Meridian 504 FM tuner. Of course there are better sounding systems, but this system is an excellent performer. Does one need more?
Dunno- My tariff thread got the axe. I made a comment of my preference for tariffs in general based on economic theory, but it may have been taken as political. Also quoted DSL who clarified it’s the country of manufacturing (not where shipped) that determines tariff rate. |
@kennyc it is not a political subject. Everyone including the ones who couldn't care less about who is in office is affected. |
As long as you are happy with the system, that is all that matters, @jimbennet. Some people never get to where you are.

Predictably, it’s been removed. Apparently even talking about what is going on is bad for business. Understandable, because it is. Sad thing is I get 100’s of beautiful upvotes in those threads then they all go down the drain. Easy come, easy go. Just like the East Wing, affordable health care, and all the rest, etc.. |
