Warmer sounding Solid State
Hello,Audio-GD is an chinese brand with incredibly ridiculous price-quality ratios in its products. I've had the Marantz PM-7005 and it sounded ok, not bad, but nothing ot of this world. IMHO, you get much more for your money with Audio-Gd than wi...

New to audiophile and need HELP.
Most of your budget should go to speakers.Q Acoustics is a brand that ALL of their products compete with others twice as expensive.The 3050i floorstanders cost USD 799 with QED cables and sound better than speakers much more expensive. A big deale...

84k speakers... Big disappointment
Hi guys. Thanks for your posts. Just to mention, it was never my intention to buy the speakers, I just was passing by the store and I got inside by curiosity. They looked VERY nice, like caphill said, for home decor. Very stylish, but so dissapoin...

Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
Hello Two extra options to consider:1-I bought the AUDIO-GD Master 1 preamp (it should be a VERY good pre). I will have it in a couple of weeks, so then I will be able to tell how good is the Line Magnetic LM-508IA solely as a power amp. It should...

I forgot to mention. I haven't heard the well knowned Naim Supernait 2 amp, but Tim Smith from wallofsound.com considers the Line Magnetic LM-518IA, a brother of the LM-508IA, to be better than the Naim. Tim raves about the 518.I haven't heard the...

I back up Waltersalas on the LM-508. Its a hell of an amp. Im from Argentina and I bought my LM508 from china directly because there's no Line Magnetic dealer here. Of course if you do that you wont get the support from USA dealers, but the chines...

Line magnetic 508 with Tekton Double Impacts. Match Up
Thank you radiohead99!!Right now Im thinking more about getting a nice tube preamp under the 2K budget. What would say that a nice valve preamp could add to the LM508? I mean in terms of dinamics, sounstage, bass, fullness, etc.Any other opinions?...
