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?
There are many of this type that post here and you should take ’em with a grain of salt!!
"Audiophile snob" generally refers to an elitist attitude within the audio enthusiast community where some individuals prioritize expensive gear, exclusive formats, or subjective sonic preferences above all else, often discouraging or belittling newcomers or those with different tastes. |
@jimbennet ”l should not have posted this” There is no reason to be ashamed with your post. Even if you have been perceived by others as being an inexperienced newbie. Nobody’s perfect. Some people on here who think they are somebody’s are showing their real characters. When l noticed your last post “There are many of this type….” it made me look at your past contributions. I thought maybe this was typical of your output, but it is quite the opposite. You are a level headed contributor who obviously within this particular discussion felt the need to take a stand. The type of person depicted in the cartoon in real life should be treated like an awkward irritating child…….. to be seen (for what they are) and not heard. |
