| Backert Labs preamp, now a New Power Amp I decided to go with a pair of Van Alstine DVA M225 monoblocks. They will be in my setup by this weekend and I’m anxious to experience my first Monoblock amps. Based on my research, I believe they will pair well with the Backert Labs pre and my ... | |
| Backert Labs preamp, now a New Power Amp There’s a good deal on a pair of Van Alstine DVA M225 monoblocks. Any thoughts on these? | |
| Backert Labs preamp, now a New Power Amp I did speak with Andy and he recommended either the Hegel or Odyssey amps. While I’m familiar with Hegel, the Odyssey brand is lesser known to me and I always like to get feedback from this group on their experiences on equipment. | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated I incorrectly listed my amp, it is actually the A21+ not the A23. I have narrowed it down to two preamps and appreciate everyone’s constructive feedback. - Backert Rhumba 1.3 (I know it’s tube but there is a lot of good reviews) - Bryston BP-26... | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated I appreciate everyone’s feedback and recommendations. I’ve decided to focus on a preamp and keep my separate components. My long term plan to continue upgrading along the path as needed, and financially capable. Listed are the top contenders, ne... | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated @kofibaffour great video, thanks for the link. | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated @soix - yes thank you, I should have mentioned that my room is acoustically treated and I favor a lively, detailed, holographic sound. I’ve noticed since upgrading to the Contours my system sounds dry and lifeless. This could be that I haven’t... | |
| New Preamp or go Integrated @ghdprentice thanks for the Audio Research recommendation and thoughts on the other preamps mentioned. I’ll take a look at the Audio Research options. | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 made me realize I’m a critical listener The Mofi SP 8’s are good speakers and validated by many positive reviews. They just don’t provide enough detail for my preference. I personally wouldn’t add a tweeter to a speaker to try and improve the sound quality, especially if it’s a new sp... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 made me realize I’m a critical listener As an update, I’ve added an additional 60 hours to the speakers with 20 of those hours coming from devoted listening. My conclusion is the Mofi’s will be returned tomorrow. One detail I forgot to mention is that my room is acoustically treated to... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 made me realize I’m a critical listener Bought the Mofi’s new and the packaging/speakers arrived in perfect condition. @ericrhodes1 -I can hear the snare on the Mofi, but its not as pronounced/defined as on the Dynaudio. @toddalin - I believe your comment is likely why I’m perceivin... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 made me realize I’m a critical listener Good advise and appreciated. I still have 5 weeks before sending them back and will continue to evaluate. | |
| Any experience with VPI Super Prime scout with 10.5 inch tone arm I’m a long time owner of the original VPI Scout with Uni-Pivot arm. I upgraded to the 10.5” 3D tonearm a couple years ago and am completely satisfied. I don’t mind the wobble of the uni-pivot tone arm and of the opinion it tracks better than a non... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Another melodic Iron Maiden song is; The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg on their From Fear to Eternity album. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @jastralfu +1 on Fair Warning, my favorite VH album also. It always reminded me of Fleetwood Mac Rumors, there was so much turmoil in the band at the time and it came thru on the writing/recording. |
