| Full feature preamp $1500 Audible Illusions 3A. There is a factory refurbished one on Audiogon for $1450 and one on USAM too. However, personally, I would grab the lightly used Atmasphere UV-1 on USAM ($850) and just pick up a Rega Fono MM mk3 on Amazon for $395 | |
| Budget Audiophile system under 2k Another option would be to pair the Triangle Boreo BRO3 speaker ($500) with an IOTAVX SA3 full function integrated ($500) leaving $1000 for front end of choice. | |
| Budget Audiophile system under 2k The lightly used Musical Fidelity M2si that @mesch pointed out is a nice option. If you prefer to buy new, I believe Upscale Audio has new ones on sale right now for $599. | |
| Budget Audiophile system under 2k I would look at Omega loudspeakers. Nice quality and easy to drive. You could go with a floorstander like the Omega Super 3 XRS ($1095) or go up a little in their line to the Compact Alnico Monitor ($1495). Either one can be paired with the Vista... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation You could go with Fritz Carrera 7 BE. In home audition is available. It’s not too hard to drive, so plenty of amp options. At Capital Audiofest 2018 they were paired with an 8 watt Modwright headphone amphttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zbroWg_cwCQTh... | |
| Entry level tube integrated for bedroom/office Jolida Fusion 3502P. Underwood HiFi has a nice special going on these (both EL34 and 6550 versions) right now — the EL34 is right at your budget and the 6550 is slightly over. I am not affiliated with the vendor, but had a good experience buying f... | |
| Desktop speaker upgrade from KEF LS50s (<$6K budget) If you can arrange for some space behind the speakers, I would go with a gently used pair of Boenicke W5se. Otherwise, I would probably just stick with your LS50s. | |
| If I want a bookshelf system this good, what should I buy? If you like the Luxman sound you could look for a more modestly priced used Luxman L-507u. Another good choice would be the Vincent SV-237 - nicely made, solid piece with plenty of power (150 at 8 ohm) for your speaker choice. The Vincent is $2500... | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? I think you are rolling the dice with the Muzishare X7. The review that was linked by @twoleftears points out that the amp really comes to life with speakers like Klipsch and Tekton and sounded kind of dull with other speakers that were tried. Y... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7's on the way: Amp suggestions? At the Bristol HiFi Show 2019, Alan Shaw expressed a preference for Hegel when showing the Compact 7’s | |
| Comparable quality integrated Amplifier. Take a look at the Rogue Audio Sphinx v2. It includes a 12au7 tubed line stage. You should be able to find a v2 in your price range. I like the Vincent Audio suggestion as well. | |
| If I want a bookshelf system this good, what should I buy? There is a mint, low hour Simaudio Moon 340i for sale on USAM. This is a really well made, great sounding integrated (100W doubles to 200W into 4ohms). I would pair this with the Bluesound Node 2i that @soix suggested. | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? Agree with previous posts indicating that you need an amp that can handle a 2 ohm load. The Vincent is a solid choice. There also seems to be a lot of love in this forum (and on 6moons) for the Kinki Studio EX-M1. | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d Really nice, dealer demo, low hour VTL IT 85 for sale on US audio mart with full warranty.. I’m not affiliated with sale. I think this would also be a great choice. | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d A lot of good suggestions here..there is a nice used Ayon Spirit III gen IV for sale on Audiogon right now that would probably give you enough power in either pentode or triode mode depending on your preference |
