| Great Value in Used Phono Preamp’s? Parks Audio Budgie if you can find one. | |
| Magnepan 30.7’s Forgot to post my opinion on the 30.7’s from my local store demo. First I should note that our local Magnepan dealer over the last several years has decided to chase home theatre over two channel and because of that they really don’t have the comp... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? Not liking it. I’m sure I haven’t figured it out but I’m not seeing how to find items for sale near my zip code. Used to be able to set up a distance and see what’s near me; all I find now is only what’s in my zip code and not others near me. Wond... | |
| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh Congrats on your Pass X250.8. I’ve not heard the XP 10 pre but I’m sure it’s very good. I use an older X250 and love it with my ModWright LS 36.5. If you’re not using good balanced cables I would recommend that and don’t use the stock power cords ... | |
| Tube amp/integrated with bass grip for Aerial 7Ts ModWright KWI 200 if you’re looking for an integrated or Pass X250.8 if only looking for an amp.I’ve not dragged home an ARC Ref 75SE but have heard it many times at my local dealership and it’s a great amp but knowing my 7B’s I can’t imagine it r... | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 If all you need is a 100 watt amp look and read up on an Audio Research 100.2. Great sounding amp that has a cult following for good reason. I owned one and if you want something close to a tube amp it’ll get you in the ballpark a little. Don’t wo... | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! How does your room sound in general? If you clap your hands together is there a loud ping behind it or does it sound natural? You just might need to work on your listening area, speaker and your seat placement. I recommend get your room and placem... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? Forgot to add that from a cold start, at least my Pass amp doesn’t really come alive; it doesn’t sound horrible by any means. I do find if I leave it on for twenty four hours it sounds its best.I did discover after adding dedicated circuits and be... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? My Pass is far from clinical or cold. To say they sound like older ARC amps is the first I’ve heard of that. As far as not being robust my amp has no problem making my Aerial Acoustics speakers which need power to come alive with plenty of authori... | |
| Mark Levinson or Pass Labs...What is each's "House Sound" like? I owned an LS7 once and didn’t keep it very long. It’s was ARC’s entry preamp at the time and I felt the SS LS3 was a much better preamp. My first thought reading your post is I’d look at your preamp first. As as far as Levinson or Pass on your Th... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? Pass X250 all day long. The Parasound A21 and A23 are very competitive amps in their respective price points but not in the same league of a Pass... yes I have listened to them and the older one’s. I think you’re going to have to dig way back to g... | |
| Forte model 3 with forte model 2preamp If your Forte is playing fine with no noise you’re probably fine on the caps. Pull the lid and take a look inside to physically inspect the caps. Be real easy to throw some bypass caps over the big cans if you wanted to do some quick easy mods to ... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? Lots of things. My speakers aren’t the most effecient and require a big amp. My system sounds very good at low volumes which is how I do most most of my listening. I’ve done some tweaking to lower the noise floor which is what I think has worked f... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Paradign’s definitely can rock. Not listened to the B&W 802 D3’s, but the 800 D3’s with a PS Audio BHK 250 and ARC Ref 6 was very lifelike. Best I’ve heard from B&W’s by far. Filled a large room to levels louder than I like, but was very c... | |
| Audio Research SP3-a1 If you’re a little handy with a soldering iron take your time and do the repair yourself... it’s really not that difficult. Does the unit play at all or completely dead? Guessing the electrolytics on the power supply is what needs replaced. Get yo... |
