| What is a good amp that cost no more then 3500.00 I second the CJ suggestion if you want to give tubes a try. I have Response 2.5's and use Premier 12's with it and I think it sounds fabulous. They're also known to pair well with ARC amps (either VT100 or 100.2), and I've heard them sound very go... | |
| They Sing Dan -- I did the very same thing and had good results as well. However, I tried using silver between my preamp and amp and was very disappointed. In the end, I kept the silver between the DAC and preamp, and use copper out to the amps. On my syste... | |
| Improving bass response I have a bit too much bass in my system. I'll be happy to package up the extra send you some ;-). | |
| NAD 3020 a viable option for a quality system? I had and enjoyed a 1020B/2155 combo for many years (the 3020 separates equivalent) and think its one of the great bargains in low/mid-fi audio. However, neither of these pieces are especially fast, accurate or resolving, but rather produce a soft... | |
| Could you imagine? I have a hard time imagining $500 for a kt88, but then I never got the Beanie Baby thing either. | |
| How BIG is yours? "Can't wait till i'm 40 to see what begins to go then... "You don't want to know... | |
| home made silver interconnect cables I built 2 pairs of the Chris VenHaus cables mentioned in a variety of places and found what Sean says to be true about the direction of the two conductors. The first pair I built was made with both conductor's "direction" going from one end of the... | |
| Audiogon Grading Scale - the gold standard? I'd like to take a different view and applaud at least some of the Audiogon sellers for their rigorous adherence to the grading system. I've purchased two items on Audiogon where the sellers mentioned that the equipment had "minor blemishes", and ... | |
| Anyone ever sold off their dream system and why? When I was in school (way back when), I had to sell off my beautiful Accuphase P300, C-200, T-100 trio to pay for a year's tuition. While I much prefer the equipment I have now, I wish I had been able to keep it and enjoy it for a while longer. | |
| About to plunge back into analog Thanks for the responses. Since posting this I've been rummaging through my stash (well, a box really) of old audio odds and ends and have come up with 3 more cartridges (Ortofon MC-10, MC-20, and a B&O MMC-20EN) that I'm also unlikely to find... | |
| Recommendations of best violin recordings performances Are you looking for only violin the whole range of string instruments? I picked up a recording of Bach's unaccompanied solo cello concertos (1,2 & 5) on double bass by Edgar Meyer which is fantstic top to bottom. A bit removed from a violin, b... | |
| FM Tuners I have an NAD 4130 (is this similar to a 4125?) which I bought new many, many years ago and can attest to its excellent sensitivity. Sonically, however, it hasn't been my favorite piece of equipment, although I do still use it. The sound is soft a... | |
| cable as tone control Lorne: I would suggest the same as Bob and look into some inexpensive MIT T-2 interconnects. My experience with them is they they are pretty soft on the very top end, and fairly warm. They aren't fantastically resolving, but they're actually quite... | |
| Who R U? I guess I should post a bit about myself as long as I'm responding to other folks this thread. I'm 43, single no children, and living in Silicon Valley. I've worked in the software biz since getting out of school and in my current position I'm m... | |
| Who R U? You're in good company Thedautch. I had a wonderful Accuphase system many years ago when I was in college (and about your age) and had to sell it as well to pay rent and eat. While I don't regret having to get rid of it given the circumstances, I ... |
