| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) You may want to consider a Modwright KWA 150SE, it’s a versital well designed and very engaging amp. Modwright products seem to fly under the radar, but are able to provide excellent sonics. | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Thanks all for the very kind replies.It will take a couple of months to get the amp in - house, due to the build time and where my order is in the que. @ Chayro, Both the Solista and Solistino have the same transformers that are standard and the v... | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Pulled the trigger on the Solistino amp, ordered thru Black Bird audio. Dan was a pleasure to deal with. | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Much thanks for your replies, as far as tube rolling goes this is from the dealer "We Viva dealers and Viva discourage tube rolling because some of the "NOS" (new old stock) tubes can't take the voltages or current that these amplifiers require fr... | |
| Focal Chorus 826W with Rotel RC/RB 1070? I had these speakers at one time, I drove them with a Anthem 225 IA, and thought it sounded great. However I moved to a Bryston B-100 (Much better amp) and it was a big jump up in overall sound quality. So has others have already stated, a good hi... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? My first high end speaker was the Paradigm studio 20v1 monitor, I owned that speaker for 12 years it followed me around from city to city and always played faithfully. | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac The Cambridge CXC is a fine transport for the money. All of my CD are played back from my Aurender server which is excellent, but from time - to - time I still enjoy spinning the sliver disc and the CXC does a great job. However, if you have SACD ... | |

| Intigrated Amp Dilemma The Modwright KWI -200 is a really good IA, it has plenty of good clean power to drive virtually any speaker with ease. Like the Pass & MF IA's, the Modwright has plenty of inputs and has room for a DAC module if you prefer. | |
| $10K-15K short list? Consider Daedalus Argos, excellent, near, full range speaker. | |
| CD players = dead? I finally purchased a DAC, and then a server I thought the sound was as good as my CDP, so I sold my CDP. I still enjoy listing to CD'S so I went with the Cambridge transport and now have the best of both formats. I don't think CD's are going away... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation Add a pair of Rythmik F-12G subs and be done. Excellent performance at around 1k. That's my biased 2c. | |
| Strange classified responses E-Bay sucks for sellers, they charge 10% fee when sold and 10% fee on shipping costs. I have an AVR listed there, and on other sites, and so far, like the OP, a parade of tire kickers and low ballers with very strange questions. So it's not the... | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. Can't go wrong with Pangea, well made affordable quality PC. I have them throughout my system and they are a nice step up from stock PC's. | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars If you don't mind independent dealers then Salk, Selah and Daedalus all make fine speakers in your price range. |
