| Analog newbee looking for advice Hey guys, thanks a lot for the advice. It sounds like there's no easy or cheap way into vinyl. Now I'm leaning toward Flyingred's recommendation and getting the Opus 21 and more CDs. I guess it can never be easy... | |
| is creek5350se best integrated for 1000-1200 bucks I'd also consider the Classe integrateds, or something like a McCormack .5 (~$650 used) and a tube pre. | |
| For those of you with power problems.... That's hilarious! | |
| Theta Miles vs Resolution Audio CD 50 I haven't heard the CD50, but replaced my balanced Miles with a CD55. The Theta has stronger more articulated bass, but the CD55 is better in most all other respects. The RA has a more open top end and more precise imaging, but the Theta really ha... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound I think the price range of the components in the system really dictates what's most important (for that system). If I had $50 speakers, I wouldn't be out shopping for room treatments. Assuming you had "good" electronics, upgrading those $50 speake... | |
| Thoughts on Coda gear? Any Coda owners out there? Another fan of CODA here. I used to own a 10.5, sold it here on Audiogon, and regret it. I really enjoyed that amp, and didn't appreciate it until it was gone. I think for used prices, that amp was better than any other that I've had in the same p... | |
| Solid state amp ultimate stop... With a workin' man's budget, the Clayton M100s do it for me. | |
| Satellite Radio at Home Yeah, I tried it too. I have the Sony car/home receiver. Sound quality is OK, also reminded me of MP3. | |
| Thoughts on Paradigm Studio 60's? You might want to try a different amp with those 60's. I used to have a pair of Studio 20's, and tried a C340 with them and I did not like the match. | |
| spend more money on pre or power amp ? In my experience, matching the amp to the speakers is critical. I would think that in the $10K range, personal preference will determine how much you spend on each. I'd spend as much as it takes to get an amp that works with your speakers, then ge... | |
| Plinius class A vs. class AB sound difference? I had an SA100 III and had the same question, so I listened blindly as a friend switched the amp from A to AB with several different types of music. For each song, he switched the amp back and forth, and I indicated which I preferred. For all test... | |
| Need monitors with a BIG sound These have both been mentioned, but I'll second the Red Rose R3 and Audio Physic Spark III. I own both and listen in a small room, and these both perform well with nearfield listening. Surprisingly, the R3's seem to have a bit more bass than the S... | |
| WHat about four speakers....... I agree with TWL. I think there is potential in multi-channel reproduction, but I have yet to hear it done "correctly". | |
| What component have you changed out the most? Power amps, then cables. | |
| Latest Peter Gabriel I've got it and like both the music and sound quality. Go get it! |
