| "Neutral/Clear Amp vs. Dark Amp" Pass and Sugden are not Dark. | |
| Looking for a $1k DAC that delivers? Decware. A real sleeper. I've compared it with several DACs to include Assemblage 2.0, two Audio Zone and Scott Nixon (the little guy SS). Very open, detailed and solid bass. I listen to well recorded (lots of RR, Chesky, JVC XRCD, MA recordings) ... | |
| Grounded vs. ungrounded power cord This comes up often enough. PS Audio offers(ed) a removable pin PC for just this purpose. An engineer friend runs all of his equipment without grounding plugs. Claims it is much cleaner sounding. Another friend runs his recording studio entirely w... | |
| speaker cable and interconects for REGA BRIO- R I run MAC copper speaker cables and ICs with my Rega R. Seems to work decently with my Merlin monitors. Love the Rega R, seems as if Rega has finally figured out the amplification thing. Lot stronger than my previous Rega Brio. | |
| Celtic Thunder Slippery slope here. IF you enjoy Celtic Thunder then well......okay. It strays far from authentic Celtic roots. If you wish to engage the real essence of the form, then find public radio's Fiona Ritchie and her program "The Thistle and Shamrock".... | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? I do not bi-wire, but side-step the issue with those kinds of speakers I own by passing a single wire through both terminals to bridge. Hate the jumpers thing. | |
| Budget system around 1K Rega Brio 3 and R1 speaks would be great and well within budget. I am with you and the iPod thing.....however, I finally researched a lot and ended up with an iPod Nano 5th generation which sounds best of the lot in many people's opinions. | |
| Speaker help - short list needed Merlin monitors. However, you've given no clues as to electronics, etc. Merlins are not bright unless your electronics are. The Vienna Acoustics-Mozart are very nice sounding and forgiving, they will not image or provide the micro-acoustics that t... | |
| Need inexpensive hybrid int amp Analogue Audio from Italy makes a very nice product. I was surprised by its quickness compared to my Sugden Class A integrated. Very solid soundstage and decent power at 70wpc. Just two 6922 tubes in preamp. I found some NOS Westinghouse for $40 a... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? Not tube, but the Luxman and Sugden Class A amps will run these infamously. | |
| amp for snell k I've owned this speaker, would try the Rega Brio or Mira as it needs a bit of warmth. The tube amp suggestions given are on also. | |
| DAC: Scott Nixon vs. Eastern Electric I've owned Scott Nixon. Great stuff. Why not buy American? | |
| MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright. Sequerra MET 8. | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? MERLIN | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 VTL IT85 is fabulous. Warmth, detail and imaging. The new Anthem integrated and used Plinius. |
