| Tired of SS amp. Steven it's so hard to say without knowing your speakers. If I were to build a system again I would try and buy the amps and speakers together to make sure there was synergy. I have heard the Cary, Atmasphere and CJ but not the Lamm. They are all ... | |
| BAT VK30SE, VK50se or SF Line 3se I have not heard the Line 3se and only had the chance the hear the Line 3 in a dealer system. Although the system had the same speakers as I use, the amps and source were different.I have heard the BAT line 5i, 30se, 50se in my dealers system and ... | |
| How much does your system retail for? $42,600 for just the two channel electronics and cables. | |
| Some cable advice for this system Thanks for all your help. Looks like FIM, Transparent, and Nordost. I'll post if I lear anything in the comparison. | |
| best cool looking exposed tube for 2500 I am a bit biased as I am going to be selling a pair of these amps soon, but the antique sound labs 60 watt mono amps are great. They have excellent midrange. Plus I think they will have the look you want. Check out this link http://www.divertech.... | |
| How much would be lost if........ My Meridian runs a 4.1 with phantom center. I don't know if other do, but I would imagine so. By the my experience is that 4.1 with independent controls for the phantom center are the only way it works. Panzercat is right about the problems with D... | |
| How much would be lost if........ I might restate your question. Instead of asking can I have a good HT without a CH, maybe it should be can I have a good two channel system with HT? In my experience the answer to both of these questions is yes, but it will cost you big bucks.I un... | |
| Cost is no object is easy, but.... I agree, the BAT is in a league of it's own. It was my first choice over Meridian 508.24 and Audio Research CD-2 both around the same price used. However, I thought the power cords and power conditioner with the lesser CD player would yield a bett... | |
| Cost is no object is easy, but.... Jtinn you're right, the SCD-777 is a better choice, I didn't think of it.Ken I the fabric tweeter on the Neat speakers is supposed to be excellent, although I've never heard it myself. Also, I've never heard of 47Labs, do they have a web site? | |
| Cost is no object is easy, but.... Sorry one change, I forgot about the power source and cords. I would replace the BAT VKD5 with the Sony XA7ES ($1200 used) and add 2 Syn Res Master Couplers ($300 used) and Audio Power Wedge Ultra 114 ($400 used). | |
| Levinson 31 transport - A good buy? I have a 31 transport. I compared it directly with the 37 and Theta Jade and David. I found it to be better. I hear that the 31.5 is a big step forward, but the price of the upgrade is stopping me. I disagree with the above post, I owned a Wadia 8... | |
| Tube amps for Maggie 3.5 or 3.6 I have a pair of VTL 750's running Maggie 3.6. The sound is great. I tried the ARC VT100 and Atma-sphere MA-1, but liked the VTL's better. The right tube gear with Maggies is probably some of the best sound you can get in audio. I agree with Jtinn... | |
| 3.6R and Amps I have a pair of 3.5R and am running them with VTL MB750. I tried Bryston 7B, Audio Research VT100, Atma Sphere MA2 Mk2, Levinson 332, Cary 805C and the VTL's. From what I heard, the VTL smoked the others. Having said that, the price was 2x as wel... | |
| Amps for Magnepan 3.6r I have a pair of 3.6's also and spent 6 months looking for the right amp. Bryston is a great way to go and probably the best price performance you will get. I have only heard the 7b's and they are great. The only step up you can make from here is ... | |
| Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please The Audio Logic 2400 cannot be beat at this price range. Jerry Ozmet the designer is a genius. I think the only better DACs are the 10K Levinson or the DCS stuff. The 360S is an excellent DAC, but the 2400 has more microdynamic control, clarity, a... |
