| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono As far as I know, Audionote doesn't make any high-powered integrated amps with a phono section. | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @ericgale "Or just buy used and save yourself the anxiety over resale value." The original post says I'm only looking for used. | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @ghdprentice Thanks for the sanity check. | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @doyle3433 Right, but I've already owned a Rogue and I don't think it's in the same league as VAC (or, the CJ stuff I already own). I could be wrong, but I'm just guessing here. | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono So, the GSi75 is off my list (assuming I want an EQ option). I emailed ARC and asked if there was a way to connect one and they said “no” (other than between the source and the amp, which is not an option). I looked closer at the Rogue and that i... | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono Thanks, I previously saw that Margules and had to look up the company. That’s the problem… resale. I don’t mind buying from a small company, but I worry about resale, especially non-domestic manufacturers. Also, I question whether that would soun... | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @stereo5 If I had $40k in my amp budget, I surely wouldn't be buying an integrated amp. The L2i looks interesting, but I don't have a Vinnie Rossi budget, even for the L2i. | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @stereo5 I had a Rogue Tempest ii (90 wpc) about 8-9 years ago. It was decent, but I would want something completely different if I bought another Rogue. Just to change it up; I had no real issues with it (that I can remember). | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @noromance That’s a good list, thanks. I’ve owned that same Vincent and a very similar Rogue, years ago. I already considered that BAT and the Roger’s High Fidelity but neither can be had with a phono stage, from what I found. Same with PrimaLu... | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono @elliottbnewcombjr Umm, I already found 4 models that meet the power requirements. New speaker shopping is way too much work; I really don’t have time for that. BTW, my current tube amp is 60wpc and I used to have a Rogue that was around 90. The... | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question ^ If I'm going to sit and listen to music, it will be vinyl. Tidal is too much of a hassle (and too expensive for how little I would use it). | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question (I don't know how to reply directly to a comment, but THIS is what I was talking about)... From dinosore: Be aware that when you use AirPlay2 on an iPhone or iPad, the Apple Music app will down-sample the stream to a very lossy 256kbps (versus 1,... | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question What I don’t understand is… I assume using Apple Music via Airplay that there is a certain amount of compression happening with the files, right? (We aren’t talking about lossless files.) Like when a new tv mode is released (like 4k), but I don’t ... | |
| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home My current ones... Ohm Walsh 3. I imagine the omni sound is not for everyone, but I love the "airyness" and wide-open soundstage. And, they produce plenty of bass. | |
| Any Ohm Walsh owners using tube amp? I have slightly upgraded Walsh 3's and I'm running them with a CJ Classic 60SE (60 wpc). I've had these speakers longer than ANY piece of equipment (7+ years) and this combo is my favorite sounding setup yet. However, I've moved to a bigger house ... |
