REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab

jeffvegas,

I have seen Emotiva only in an advertisement in a magazine. I cannot enjoy it. I have seen Krell in person, though. Boy, were they ugly.

Watts are watts.  But that will never stop some people from saying otherwise. 
Tube amps tend to soft clip. That is the big difference.  Look it up.

Tell me, do these posts sound like those of someone who owns Wilsons?   I will leave people to their own conclusions, but have come to the conclusion the OP is just a troll.



Stumbled across a pair of these beasts at a used stereo store. I can get them for 3 grand. The loudspeakers are probably 30 years old. Would you goners grab these for 3 grand or get something new for 3 grand. What new would you recommend for 3 grand?

WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5

This amp is probably 30 years old. There is one I can grab for 2500 bucks. Good buy? Too old? What do you goners think?


Can you put a Krell in an apartment?

As you see I am a total "goner" living in a cheap apartment with about 50 grand in Audiophile equipment. I am looking at purchasing an old krell "FPB 400 CX" amp that the manufacturer says needs a dedicated 20 amp line. Can you still run this amp off a regular electrical outlet? If you can, will it sound like crap? jeffvegas


Rega planar 3 or Project X2? Which is the better turntable?

Creek CD50

What do you "goners" think about this product. I am an audiophile on a strict budget. This unit apparently plays CD's, is a preamp, has a DAC so you can stream as well. Any experiences with this product? Came across one used for 700 bucks. Should I make a move on it? jeffvegas

jeffvegas,

Now you mention NAD. It is getting creepy. If your next post mentions Philips AE6209, I am asking for the restraining order.
