| NAD C 375BEE Integrated Amp Replacement Recommendations I am not sure you will find anything that would make for a significant improvement over your NAD at your budget. If I were looking for an $2500 integrated, I would look at the Vincent SV337Mk. Sold by Audio Advisor. | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? Rodman, my ST-70 has the 5AR4 rectifier tube made by GE, and the 7199 driver tubes made by Conn in USA. Currently using JJ EL34 output tubes. I know the JJ EL34 could be replaced with a smoother tube. Any particular Mullards you might recommend?Ra... | |
| Which integrated amp do you suggest? Sorry, It must have sold. I see it is no longer offered. I would check out the Yamaha A-S501 and the 701. Often found discounted online.The 801 has USB input however is above your stated budget. | |
| Which integrated amp do you suggest? There is a used Yamaha A-S501 for sale here on AG. It has DAC and Phonostage. DAC lacks USB input however so a USB/SPDIF converter would be required. They can be had for ~$100. I use a M@Tech hiface which plugs directly into computer USB port ther... | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? Rodman, Thanks much for your input and the link. I can't believe I did not find this review myself. It seems that the input impedance of this amp is not the reason I didn't find it as enjoyable using a Schiit SYS passive pre as with my Jolida acti... | |
| Update: Still Audio EL84 Integrated and three speaker pairings Scott, I have been listening to the Contrasts again today, driven by the Jolida/ST-70. I appreciate this system the more I play it. I remain convinced they respond to greater power than the Still provides. From my short time with them I believe th... | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? Thanks for the responses. I am using a Dynaco ST-70 (35wpc) into Contrast Model One As3 speakers having a rating of 16ohms and 92dB sensitivity. I believe the sensitivity rating might be a little high, even considering that 92dB equates to 89dB w... | |
| Help Please With Choosing An Integrated Or Separates For My Secondary Sysytem Seems you have no need for onboard DAC or phonostage. Therefore I would put my money on a line level only integrated. Music Direct has new NAD326BEEs for sale at $450. Also the NAD 356 here on AG looks good to me. | |
| 8-16 ohm budget speakers OK, I have been using the Contrasts with my ST-70 as driven 1st by a Schiit SYS passive pre and then with my Jolida Fusion tube preamp. The ST-70/Contrast pairing came across a little lean, lacking in bass when driven by the passive pre. I am not ... | |
| Update: Still Audio EL84 Integrated and three speaker pairings Yesterday I paired the Dynaco ST-70 with my Jolida Fusion tube pre and drove the Contrasts. The frequency balance was much improved over using the SYS passive. With the tub preamp I am now getting from the ST-70/Constrast Model One pairing what I ... | |
| Upgrading Integrated Amplifier - Musical Fidelity? There is a used Yahama A-S501 for sale here on AG. Has Phono and digital inputs as well as sub out. | |
| Splitter question Given your situation, I would be inclined to use the SYS. Has the two inputs you need. Would probably use it full open for vinyl playback which likely has a lower voltage output. One could turn the SYS volume down for digital playback such that th... |
