| Integrated amplifier below 1.5K for Sonus Faber? Auronthas,My short review didn't show up correctly on the last post so here it is again.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1213790315&read&3&4& | |
| Integrated amplifier below 1.5K for Sonus Faber? I have the AA Primo Settanta integrated amp and in many ways it is the best amp I ever had. It is not quite as refined as my YBA Design integrated or as powerful as my Classe CA100, but it is more engaging. It is extremely tubelike yet clear sound... | |
| Review: Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Amplifier I was thinking about your comments on the Primo's bass, and the clipping when pushed hard. Granted the Puccini at 2x its price probably has a more upscale presentation, but I didn't find the ponderous bass you refer to.My Primo may has a tight, de... | |
| Review: Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Amplifier Thanks for your insites. I love the Primo so much the Puccini seems like the next logical upgrade for me. The main thing I noticed stepping down from my YBA integrated to the AA Primo was a loss of refinement and the ease of presentation. It is no... | |
| Review: Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Amplifier I posted above by would like to also note that it is my favorite integrated amp as well. It has an inviting sound that is more listenable than the other seperates I've owned as well. I think the manufacturers power rating is accurate, because my 1... | |
| Review: Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Amplifier Nice review on the not so popular AA line of gear. I for one agree with your statement about other integrated amps "But somehow they left me craving for what I’ve found (I also own Primo 70) in Audio Analogue’s sound and all-round abilities. " I a... | |

| McIntosh 252 or 275 for my B&W 804s? I heard a the B&W 802's paired with the Mac 6900 integrated as well as the MAC C45/252. It was the best I ever heard from B&W speakers. The 252 played the speakers so loud with no distortion that I kept turning it up without realizing I wa... | |
| Best bargain find ever ? 2 pair (4) vintage JBL 4312 studio monitor speakers, in excellent condition for $15, at a yard sale. | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue 8 CD Player Sound I think the Primaluna Prologue 8 cdp is not hitting it big because it is butt ugly IMHO. I looks like an amp. For $2.5K let's put some style into the design. There is no creativity to it at all. Send their industrial designers back to school. | |
| Drive Bel Canto, Marsh amp with OPPO 970? Soundmat,I tried two outputs to see if the Oppo can handle it. The Oppo can't handle it.The sound quality and volume suffer significantly if you use the stereo out and the L+R out simultaniously. You have to use one or the other only. | |
| Modding the Consonance cd-120 linear Here is a quote on tweaking the cd120 linear from the following review:http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/opera_cd120_e.html"Ian large notes that the cd120L responds well to tweaking. He suggests a good inexpensive mod is to change the input caps t... | |
| Tascam CD-601mkII CD Player These units are popular in recording studios because of their incredable durability. One "upgrader" also uses this unit as his base to modify because of its excellent transport section. If you have a good DAC, as you do, these units have a modest ... | |

| Drive Bel Canto, Marsh amp with OPPO 970? Yes the all the Oppo's have variable out and it sounds darn good. You can send picture to your TV from your Oppo and a variable sound signal to your amp for volume control for CD, SACD, DVD, movies. What you can't do is send a signal from your TV ... |
