| notable consolidation possibility, should I or not? I'm not a fan of all-in-one machines. Keep your digital gear separate, the digital world is still changing at a fast pace. Get a nice integrated amp but use outboard digital gear. | |
| Do JBL D123 ( 16 OHM's) Speakers need a Crossover ? Yes, you can hook it up direct but it's a guitar speaker, not a full range speaker. | |
| I was happy with my system for 30 years; now I need a new amp...and more? I might be a broken record but for your budget I would run a Musical Fidelity M5si integrated amp. Plenty of power for whatever loudspeakers you might buy. I might also try a newer but modestly priced CD player. With the right cabling the Klipsch ... | |
| Bang for the buck is that because ASR doesn't properly measure equipment Good evaluation is test and listen to the product. They sometimes don't bother to listen. And when they do listen to a loudspeaker, they only listen to one...not a good way to listen to ste... | |
| Amp change That is an expensive amp. I would upgrade to Maggie 3.7s and Parasound JC1s. My brother had the JC1s with 3.6s and it was very good. The 1.7 is a step down, a pretty big step down. And if it was my money I'd get a JC5 stereo amp and be happy. The ... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Musical Fidelity M5si. Right at $2K and has a lot of power. | |
| Cartridge to turntable price ratio Personally, I think the point of diminishing returns effects the turntable before it does the cartridge. I agree, just don't put a $5000 cart on a $300 table. | |
| Musical Fidelity m2si or Parasound Newclassic 200 for Dynaudio Emit 20's Both are good amps. I have the MF M2si, good for Emit 20s, lots of muscle. | |
| Kimber Kable hero Hero is a good cable, detailed but not too detailed. I prefer PBJ for a little warmer sound. | |
| Need help to hookup NAD 2700 amplifier and Preamp tuner 1600 Source into preamp>preamp out to amp normal in>amp to speakers. | |
| Want Multi-Disc CD Player Recommendations Amazon shows an Onkyo, Integra, and a Sony changer. They all might have a different flavor but even cheap CD players can sound very good. | |
| Hickok 600 settings for the 6C45 tube? I found this: https://www.diy-audio-guide.com/support-files/6c45.pdf | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! Yes, loudspeakers first. | |
| Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement Room corners are the wrong place for today's loudspeakers. The OHM recommendation has merit. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much It's opinions like @russ69's that degrade the value of customer service. Customer service is dead, and I didn't kill it. The tire kickers killed it. The shop has to make money to survive, they have bills to pay. "Investing" in a future custom... |
