| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? I would get Magnepan 3.7i and the best tight subwoofers and crossover I could find. Maybe twin server subs like REL or GR research. I would have lots of money left over.Also I really like the Volti Audio Vittora 5 piece speaker system with a tube ... | |
| Best budget DAC Schiit Bifrost Uber. It equals or betters my older Benchmark USB DAC1. | |
| Glad we still have 'brick and mortar', and good owners for gear I really agree with this. I think B&M stores have a valuable place in audio buying.I have a dealer now that really takes care of the customer. I had two pieces of audio with issues. He took care of it rather quickly.On the other hand, I had an... | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players I have been a fan of any CD or Universal player that has an output for an external DAC.I don't play SACDs, just CDs. I have found that every couple of years the DACs get better, and as such the CDs sound better. So I guess I like the idea of swapp... | |
| Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC. Ive got the Bifrost Uber. Very musical. I use the optical in from a quality CD spinner. I also use an optical switch and with that I can also toggle over to a Pure I20 dock and use my Iphone to play Tidal or Spotify through the Bifrost. Sounds ver... | |
| are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them I have two systems. In one I have MMGs paired with a Parasound A21 and it’s a great match. I had them connected to my tube amp, but I think they draw too much power or current from the amp. | |
| Classe CA200 vs. Parasound Halo A21 OEMId lay a bet you are going to fall in luv with that Classe amp. Nice decision and I have the A21, so I have respect for both brands. | |
| Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please I'm with jldouglasI have the LM Audio 216ia and really Iuv it. But you'd go up a model or two. I had the SET one for a few months and it really was sweet. WilliamBTW my dealer has given me perfect customer service on the LM Audio | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? The opinions here are great, but the prices are all over the map.I have a Parasound A21 which sounds great and is what I can afford.I heard a Musical Fidelity M6 500I integrated amp a few years backand it sounded glorious for around $5K.I might wa... | |
| Parasound A21 or Odyssey Stratus You may have made this decision, so if you have great! But if you have not I will give my thoughts.I had an Odyssey system with a Stratos amp. I am one of a few who had issues with the gear. Low buzzing sound coming from the amp. Although Klauz is... | |
| Best speakers for $3000 Magnepan 1.7i and DWM hands down for jazz!!!! | |
| Vandersteen 2CE sig II first run or current?.... I have the 2CE Sig II and really like it. I have MMG's in another audio system. The only thing I don't is the lack of low to very low tight bass. But that would come if I spent more money. In the future I might add a tight sub, maybe a REL. But mo... | |
| Bryston 4B SST2 or Benchmark AHB2 For what it is worth, Bryston has a stellar reputation for performance and customer service. Plus the amps they make have very good current capacity. | |
| Classe CA200 vs. Parasound Halo A21 Parasound A21 is very good for the price. I think the Classe is in a different league. The kind of speakers you have should play the biggest role in your decision. If they are current hungry, the amp with the most current or capacity should be the... | |
| Denon to Parasound I'll chime in as somebody that has owned both an Odyssey Stratos and a Parasound a21. The Parasound was much better and they do have a stellar rep. Even though the Odyssey is built in America, good luck getting it worked on since Klaus is so back ... |
