| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Anthem STR great performance and solid build for the money | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp I recently added an Octave Jubilee preamp to my system and its the best preamp I've ever heard, a superb product in my opinion. Adding a tube amp would be too much for me-the tube amps I've heard-a few- are fine well built components, but don't re... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? in your scenario you have established the price of the speakers. My personal preference would then be to spend roughly 7-10 thousand on the amp, dac and preamp and I would prioritize the preamp if I had to make choices I would also allocate som... | |
| Physically Comfortable Headphones I’ve own several different brands of headphones and finding one that is comfortable for a long listening session is very difficult. you might consider ZMF, they sound great and are more comfortable than most I’ve tried | |
| Turntable suggestions for a newbie I own the Clearaudio performance DC and I have enjoyed it very much. I’m no expert but it sounds like the deal you have been offered isn’tpretty good if what he has is truly in mint condition and that’s a big if. I’ve also owned Rega which I thin... | |
| Next Upgrade? DCS Rossini or Dagostino Progression Integrated FWIW upgrading the bartok to the Apex version is, to my ears, a very significant improvement might be worth considering | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? You have received a lot of good advice, although if you take all of it you’ll have to start over. I would go slow. I would start with speaker placement and modest room treatments- I don’t think you have to rebuild the room to get decent improvemen... | |
| The Highest - Suprema That must have been a great experience looking at that setup, it must’ve been pretty close to the pinnacle of what a system can do | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Thanks. All of that makes sense. I'm in the beginning stages of thinking about this, but like simaudio. Was thinking about dual 761s or a single 861. The 861 should certainly have more than enough power and I rarely listen at level above 85 dbl. D... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Thank you for that perspective. My room has been professionally treated, and I think it is set up reasonably well, although there are some factors that are hard to address. I’ve never owned monoblocks so I don’t have firsthand knowledge, but have ... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Thanks to you both. I used a moon 390 for several years and have a moon phono stage. I’ve been very pleased with simaudio products But have not had a chance to hear anything from the new north collection. The primary reason I would consider mono ... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? EPI-Epicure Speakers my first set of speakers~1979 | |
| Upgrade speakers or DAC I have the Il Cremonese and I think that’s your best bang for the buck. I upgraded from SF Serafino- outstanding in its own right- and the difference is substantial. Initially planned to go with the Amati which is a great speaker but moving up to ... | |
| An integrated bargain? I used a moon 390 preamp- streamer- dac for several years ( since replaced with separates)and thought it performed very well. I also have a moon phono stage and it is excellent. Simaudio is a quality brand and certainly worth auditioning | |
| Dealers of High End Equipment I have a dealer that I trust and respect. I have bought a lot of gear from my dealer and he understands what I expect. My dealer is about an hour and a half away since there are few options where I live. As I tell him, I am old and inept, so if I ... |
