| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I own electrostats in a 5.1 configuration. The only speakers that I liked more were some sonus fabers. I have a bryston sp2 and i keep an eye out for the right deal on an sp3 with the 4k board. Its difficult to keep up with hdmi standards which... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! I cant take any of this seriously when the final test was done with a smart speaker. | |
| 3k Budget for Cartridge, Phono-Pre, and Cables - Recommendations Please Sumiko blackbird is my first choice for rock. dynavector xx2 is my favorite cart. Audio Technica Art 9 is my favorite cart for the money. Sutherland 20/20 is a fantastic preamp with selectable loading to help fit desired sound. Personally i th... | |
| Mixing balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs on Ayre preamp - amateur question! @atmasphere I am very much into high end home audio and aware of what audiogon is about (pro audio just happens to be my job). I will always agree theres nothing wrong with balanced connections or balancing throughout the signal path within a un... | |
| Mixing balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs on Ayre preamp - amateur question! That source was not my friend, its me. There are indeed circuits that run balanced internally but Id call them more rare than common. Ive only see one mixing board that operated that way (it was a ward beck, im sure there are others but many ive... | |
| Mixing balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs on Ayre preamp - amateur question! I dont know about how the circuits of the Ayre sound but my bryston sp2 connected to a classe cav150 sounds better unbalanced than balanced. Remember, internally, all throughput is unbalanced. The balancing and unbalancing happens at the input a... | |
| Krell KAV 400 xi for Magnepan 20.7's? Im sure itll work fine but krell has always been known as a bit bright, and all the maggies ive owned or used were just a touch bright. So far Ive liked classe powering Maggies, Ive liked Mcintosh a little bit better and Ive loved the sound of 1.... | |
| Best Power Cord For Video Projector power cord will not upgrade your projector. | |
| WHICH HT PROCESSOR Bryston sp3 with a 4k video board would be my choice. Or talk to a dealer to see how close to $10k you can get an sp4. | |

| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor The bryston sp3 is the best preamp for both stereo and surround that I have heard. It replaced my classe ssp30. At $15k the new sp4 is just too expensive but Im excited to hear it one day. | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch bryston just replaced the power supply on a 10 year old preamp i have of theirs for free. My amp is a classe that is 20 years old and still hits all its specs. Modern caps will last a lot longer than some people think. I think the bryston is th... | |
| Velodyne HGS12-repair or replace? velodyne repairs those for not too painful of an expense. i repaired my dd15 and its been great for years since. yes there are better subs for cheaper these days but you wont even get close to the hgs for the few hundred that repair will cost. ... | |
| Classe moving up to power amp from integrated? Ive heard but havent used your b&w's but I did upgrade my innersound electrostats from a classe cav75 (150 at 4 ohms) to a classe cav 150 (300 at 4 ohms) and it was a very noticeable change in dynamics and upper end clarity. I am an engineer ... | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? My preference would be for the Sonus Faber Amati Homage used under $9k would be my first choice. Second choice would be the Revel's. Next down would be the much cheaper Magnepans if I had the room for them. Im still very happy with my innersoun... |
