| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... I agree with many here that "it depends on what you are trying to achieve".Some are getting sort of heated in this discussion. I would step back and make the scenario of your best friend wants to purchase the "best amp" for his/her system. Would... | |
| Krell KSA 250 amps I'll take them at $500 each any day. Worth fixing.enjoy | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research All three companies make very nice equipment. A lot depends on your surrounding equipment. For example, if you are interested in new amps, then it would be important to know what the pre-amp and speakers are. System integration is important and... | |
| Repair of Goldmund 18.4 amp Most companies will not send schematics of the equipment to people that are not authorized repair service centers for the very real reason that in lots of places, other will copy the design, place their own label on it and sell it under another na... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Folks, this thread has never really gotten off track. Some have offered opinions about equipment, room set up, cables, etc. nothing wrong with that. WC has kept the thread going with his review and progress in acquiring equipment, adjust room s... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? We are really getting caught in the tall weeds here.The only responsibility the seller has is to list accurately the condition of the unit. Does it work correctly? What is the appearance? costs? Whether a unit has been serviced or repaired? Tha... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I'm in agreement with most responses and things said here. I just have a personal issue with brand bashing when;1) one hasn't heard that particular piece personally or more importantly,2) one hasn't heard that particular piece in their system dir... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Same equipment, including source, cabling, conditioning, speakers, room, etc. Change amp and listen again. That is really the only true way to make a determination of this sort. A/B comparison with changing only one thing. Otherwise, the diffe... | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment I'm raising my hand.I never leave equipment on 24/7. In my opinion, that is asking for something bad to happen. The only equipment that is left on is a refrigerator and you really don't have a choice for that one.I watched a tube blow in my Audi... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! It may not have been a Martin Logan demonstration, but a Parasound demo with ML speakers. Maybe,also, the room and setup may be simply bad because parasound makes decent equipment. It would still sound pretty nice. I’ve been to many shows where... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? In my opinion, it really isn't sound quality that is the number one driver for people purchasing an integrated amp. most people are not audiophiles and don't sit and listen to music for hours on end. They have "lives" (notice the quotes?) and li... | |
| Threshold verse Pass Labs how can I justify significant price difference The thresholds are very nice but the Pass amps have completely different circuitry and you will find significant differences in sound vs the threshold amps. I would still keep a threshold amp as a backup amp. The perceived differences between Pa... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Sorry, forgot point #2 in the third paragraph.2) I found it at a store where I'm known as a good customer and the owner sells it to me for a really really good price.enjoy | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! When you get into the stratosphere area of High End Audio, there (in my opinion) isn't jaw dropping differences. Differences yes, but jaw dropping? not in my experience.How long has the REF 10 been on the market? Some people complain that Audio... | |
