| What to buy with $2000? I second the Modwright, I have one of the beta units & love it. I would highly recommend one. | |
| Dual duty and LOUD I had a pair of the Tyler's & loved them. They can rock out as well, they are worth a shot & the quality is superb. | |
| What do you replace a Benchmark with for 24/96? Plato, I would love to try one but I would really prefer a DAC with two coax inputs if possible. I have my transport & DAT deck. I don't know of a super high quality optical cable so I would need dual coax. | |
| Dual duty and LOUD I don't think many people would consider the Vandy's as a good rock speaker. I listen to rock & blues exclusively, I owned the Vandy 2Ci sigs, they were nice but too polite for rock. I also heated the cones up so bad one night the warning ligh... | |
| What do you replace a Benchmark with for 24/96? I wouldn't mind a tube DAC but I really want to stay in the $1,000 or under range. It would be really sweet though if that Monarchy sounded as good as my Modwright, that would be a deal & a half if it did! | |
| Any GREAT "sleeper" amps? Monarchy Audio SE-100, I just replaced my BAT VK-60 with a pair & they are very nice amps fpr the money. I am very pleased with the purchase. For the used price these go for it is a no brainer for a pair of pure class A mono blocks that do not... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? Blindjim, in my system everything sound "liquid", I could certainly imagine the Benchmark sounding analytical in some systems but not for me. I am thinking of swapping out my DAC & trying something different just to try it but the Onkyo will s... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? I love my Onkyo DV-SP 1000. It is built like a tank & sounds very good with my Benchmark. I have not run audio outs as I listen through my Benchmark DAC but it has a similar liquid quality like my old belt driven transport, almost analog like ... | |
| What spikes for VR-4Jr's ? I e-mailed them last week & they never got back to me? A little dissapointed in that but I will buy a set regardless. | |
| What spikes for VR-4Jr's ? I need to replace mine as well but can't seem to find the proper M8 x 1.25 size. | |
| Rowland "house sound"? As a follow up, my BAT is now gone. I have a friend who loaned me a one-off ice based amp he purchased here recently as well as symphonies plus pre-amp. I must say the combo is pretty nice for the money. I am enjoying the bass but it is missing th... | |
| Rowland "house sound"? I have not heard the VK-55 so I can't comment. As I listened to my VK-60 for the last time today with it's new owner I realized that it will be a little more difficult to recreate what I had but the challenge is half the fun. | |
| Rowland "house sound"? The ONLY thing I do not like is the lack of vollume/power. The amp will sound strained at higher vollumes. I am talking over 90db's There are times & I know how bad it is for me but there are times I want to really FEEL the music and the BAT j... | |
| Rowland "house sound"? Samzs12 is correct in saying that everyone's ears are different--this of course is what I hear. No pitchforks please, just an opinion.I couldn't agree more with that statement. The fun part of this hobby is the journey of getting where we want to ... | |
| Rowland "house sound"? I am on a limited budget of $2500.00 for the amp purchase so a pair of 6's or Model 2 is unlikely. The digital amps offer alot of bang for the buck & VSA used to voice with them. I am curious about the Bel Canto, Nu Force & Spectron's, I m... |
