| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Saw this thread, which I previously responded to and it sparked a recurring question in my mind. For anyone who has the current 2000s and heard earlier Ohm Walsh 2 variants, what do you gain with the 2000s upgrade or new buy soundwise? I have been... | |
| Cambridge EVO 150 opinions? Mapman, thanks for the response. Sorry for my delay in feedback. Guy sold it before I could jump in on the action. I was reading reviews and was thinking to go for it but someone on Kauai beat me. So, back to trying to find an answer. The hurrican... | |
| Cambridge Audio 740 cdp dying...suggested replacement? This popped up and I thought I would update for similar reasons as the other most recent input. I ended up with a Marantz ND8006 which is a CDP and streamer combo that was priced well as a catalog photo shoot leftover at Audio Advisor. I still us... | |
| A little puzzled by my newly acquired Yamaha A-S801 Had mixed results with low price Yamaha amps. I found them a bit bright. The Belles Aria amp is excellent sounding but there seems to be something going on with the production, as of a few years ago. I was set to buy one about 2 years ago and was ... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Have 5000 and enjoy their sound thru my 3 CD players and attached systems. I listen to streaming in my office where there is no space fir a cdp. It's OK to ne but not great. It's best for music discovery and background music. I have a Marantz nd8... | |
| Budget integrated amp? Sorry for delay in getting back to this. Got sick myself and sort of forgot about audio. Buddy bought a Marantz 7000N because it was in his budget and he figured the sound would be similar. It's sort of warm per his report but not as much as his ... | |
| Odyssey Cyclops vs. the Exposure Integrated Amps Exposure are great amps but with limited distribution. However they are rock solid and provide good customer support eve to the US. I have heard them and was impressed. I was looking at the 3510. The only reason I bailed was it could not handle 2 ... | |
| 3 tone control integrated amp/preamp M Y Marantz pm8006 delivers the tone controls and decent sound. It can still be found used. Some of the earlier Reference Marantz in the PM series like 11s1, 14s1, 15s1 might also. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Since I have rarely had opportunity to see or hear, or hear of , most of the amps or speakers referenced in this string, I don't have a real opinion to proffer. I was going to go to Reno a few months ago to hear Pass gear while on my way to see fa... | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... I don't think I heard the word audiophile until I was 45 or 50, a couple of decades ago. Over time it came to mean to me someone who loved gear more than music, a gear head with money always looking for the next thing. I didn't grow up in a wealt... | |
| Yamaha RN-2000a Friend has the Outlaw receiver. It has been surprisingly good in reliability and sound especially for $900. He bought it to replace an old NAD integrated. It is driving some dynaudio monitors and previously drove Roger's LS3/5 A 15ohm model. I t... | |
| Can Anyone Recommend a Repair Shop for a Yamaha C-2x Preamp? What state are you in? There are still good shops around the country doing repairs. I have searched out many of them as where I live in HI there are no shops left. If you look on AudioKarma.org a number are listed as supporting the site and you ca... | |
| Best choice for small form Amp for desktop This amp is also a backup for my main system because no techs within 3-4000 miles of me and I have learned over the last 50 years stuff happens with electronics out here in the middle of the Pacific. Ive had 3 amps go down in the last 5 years out ... | |
| how many own Belles Virtuoso amp and preamp? and what's your experience? Have heard and enjoyed Belles integrated line. However, when I was looking to buy one of the new units a few months back I was dissuaded against it by 2 different dealers over recent issues with reliability and service. In discussing the situat... | |
| ClassDaudio.com...GANFETamps anyone familiar? Yeah, aesthetics is not remotely a strong point. I'm curious for the high power which my Ohm Walshs are supposed to love. Also as a backup Amp or matched to a Rogue tube pre I'm looking at. I was thinking about the Orchard products but the Gan as... |
