| Mcintosh MCD-500 vs Esoteric X-05 Noticed you have not had any responses yet so I thought I would share my experience with my three SACD/CD players, one of which is the MCD-500, the others being the Marantz SA-11S2 and the Ayre C-5xeMP. All are excellent at both redbook and SACD, ... | |
| Best Amp/Preamp Combo-10M, 15M, 20M The best Shindo preamp and amplifier(s) you can get that will drive your speakers. With that recommendation made, and since you did not stipulate a price range/limit for speakers or share what type(s) of music you listen to and the size of your li... | |
| Best Fully Automatic TT Older Denon TT's. | |
| Integrated for Sonus Faber Guarmeri Memento?? I am currently driving my GM's with an Accuphase P-3000, which is 75 wpc into 8 ohms and doubles that output into 4 ohms. The results are excellent. Others have stated on this and other forums that the GM's will sound better with higher powered am... | |
| Need a speaker for the blues lover... I definitely 2nd the Omega suggestion. I have the Super 8 Alnico XRS in one system and they are terrific for blues, small ensemble jazz and classical, solo instrumental, and solo vocals. Tremendous musical value for the $. | |
| Preamp Recommendations for Bedini 25/25 Thank you, Cellorover! (I knew I couldn't be the only Bedini owner left.) I used to have a Threshold line stage and wondered about using one again. And it is interesting that one of your suggestions would be Herron, because I started looking into ... | |
| Preamp Recommendations for Bedini 25/25 I know the Bedini 25/25 is a bit hard to come by, but no one?! | |
| Devore vs Harbeth Ah, we all hear differently. Very differently.I have not had the pleasure to hear speakers by Harbeth, but have read many fine things about them. I own the DeVore Silverbacks and have heard the DeVore 9's, Super 8's, 3XL's, & former 3's. I do ... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A vs. Shindo Thanks Davt and Violin for your comments. Expecting to hear good things about both Herron and Shindo pre's, and hopefully also comments from those who have owned or at least listened to both. Everything I have read about Herron indicates a very hi... | |
| new speaker for shindo amps - 70 watts I own the Silverbacks in my reference system and someday hope to upgrade to the best Shindo amplification I can afford to best compliment my Shindo Masseto. I have heard the Shindo Latour's, Altec Valencia 846A's, and the Silverbacks with Shindo e... | |
| Turntable/cartridge/tonearm suggestions My primary system has the Ayre-DPS TT with Mr. Bauer's new unipivot tonearm and an EMT JSD5 cartridge. That total package retails at ~ $17K and it outperforms everything I have heard except for the Shindo Garrard 301. My Ayre-DPS et al is one heck... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help DeVore Fidelity 3XL's get my vote for your situation! | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon IV When I owned my IV's I had great success with Bryston and Levinson. The IV's definitely like quality power, and lots of it. As to SS versus tubes, some believe that the Alon speakers sounded "better" with appropriate tube gear. I can't confirm or ... | |
| Alon IV's vs. Innersound Eros I have no experience with the Innersound Eros. I have owned and thoroughly enjoyed the Alon IV's. IMHO they would be tough to beat at their typical used price point, especially given your music preferences. If you do go with the IV's, I would also... | |
| Auditorium 23 SoloVox... Actually meant to say that there was no way I was going to replace my Silverbacks with the Valencia's, or any other speaker for that matter! |
