Nervous and excited
Don't put any credence in my opinion. I could make a very long list of amps I have owned over the last ten years and divide the list into two columns; amps I liked and amps I didn't like. What I like doesn't matter much as I have seen some of my least favorite amps recommended regularly. The Classe CAP151 comes to mind as well as your new Rega. Hopefully you'll enjoy the Rega. If not, consider it part of the journey. |
One thing I've learned from trading out, selling and buying equipment faster than a speeding bullet is that when you find something you like, stop. I've lost too much money, time and effort aquiring gear that sounded the same or worse and that just sucks. I've decided if I have something I like and I want to try something new, i'm not selling the piece that I like in order to gamble on a new piece, and this folks, is why you'll see me on "hoarders, buried alive" in about ten years with floor to ceiling audio gear :-) BUT, I wish you all the best luck with your new purchase and I hope that it sounds good and if not, I hope parts of it work and that you don't lose money reselling it :-) |
B_limo, someday you can become a horder like this guy. Look like fun? |
Well, thre Focal's should sound good and if you still have the triangles, hang on to them for comparison. The focal's should have more bass, I think. Clear Day speaker cables are great and Paul is the nicest guy I've ever done business with; I love the guy. I think the only piece that is ip for debate is the rega, which I have no experience with. Good to hear though that the baby wasn't really doing it for you any more as I had thought about purchasing one locally awhile back; maybe it's best for a small secondary bedroom system. Anyhow, glad to hear you had a good time lastnight at the symphony :-) |
