| tube or ss preamp + amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.3? If you like a warm sound, you might want to try a BAT VK-200. I ran my 1.3 MKII with both the Odyssey stratos amp and then the BAT. I much preferred the BAT. The Stratos is no slouch, but the BAT is more refined. It will also give you more tuneful... | |
| Starting Over Hi Everyone,Thanks for your responses. You all gave me a good starting place. | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Lets face it, age effects all of us, that goes for our electronics too. On the other hand, I have a vintage Luxman receiver R-1050 that I purchased new when I was in high school and it still sounds pretty damn good. Was it as good as my rouge/bat... | |
| BAT VK-200 or Odyssey Stratos for Magiess 1.6s? Hi Ake,This is one of the few threads in which I actually have something useful to say. I have owned both the VK-200 and the Odyssey Stratos. The rest of the system included a Rogue 99 pre amp, Cary 303 CDP, and Dynaudio 1.3 Mk II (like the maggie... | |
| Does your system sound better in the winter? It is not only the summer noise. At least in my case, the power quality is worse in the summer. All summer I have had to endure a persistent and loud buzzing from my system. It is so loud I really can't listen to it during the day. And no, it is n... | |
| Down sizing I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. So far I have rearranged the room and place my system on the long wall. This works much better. Pop and rock is still a little bass heavy but my jazz sounds great. I will probably still make some cha... | |
| Hum problem Thanks for the suggestions. I have a couple of questions. On what do I lift the ground? My TV has a two prong plug. Also, where would one pick up a mondial magic box?Thanks again | |
| Cary 303 or Meridian 508.24? Hughes88,I can't speak to the Meridian, but I recently bought the Cary 303. It was a big move up from my Arcam. The sound is detailed and smooth. I hear things on my CDs that I never heard before. I should also mention that it is somewhat forgivin... | |
| Seeking opinion for a super duper power cord.... I am in a similar boat. I am looking for new power cord for my Odyssey amp and my Rouge 99 preamp. Any recommemdations?xmore | |
| Never Happy Music? Who listens to music? I spend all day listening to pink noise so I can break-in my equipment and make sure everything is set up properly. | |
| Can’t believe anyone Thank All,I appreciate the advice. In response to some questions, for serious listening, I listen to mostly jazz (mostly small combos). For casual listening, I listen to pop and rock. Once I got the Dynaudios, the system seemed under powered in th... | |
| CDP suggestions for bright system? Widener,You might want to try a cal audio DX1 or DX2. They can be had fairly cheap and have a nice warm sound and smooth sound. They also serve as a good transport if you want to upgrade to and outboard dac. | |
| integrated amp w/ Triangle titus spks? Mattman,I think I think it was the "se" model. At the time my setup was in a large room, so it just wasn't a good match for me then.Hey Tom, How would you describe your current sound with the Titus? I have a similar set up but I am running Dynaudi... | |
| arcam or creek for aegis ones I have used the Aegis ones with an Arcam Alpha 10 and 7SE CD played. There was no harshness at all. If anything it was a bit too laid back. The 7r should be a good match. It was a very good system, but I recently went to dynaudios. I big improvement. | |
| integrated amp w/ Triangle titus spks? Hey Mattmanyou might want to try the Audio Analogue. It is a very smooth and laid back sound. It was a little bit too laid back for me and I needed more watts. It is a good intergrated though. I liked it better than the Audio Refinement. You might... |
