| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Jeff Rowland Capri might work here. However, I have heard the M60s with the MP3 and the combination was excellent. Might be worth sticking with Atma for synergy. | |
| SS quality pre-amp with HT bypass-suggestions? Another one for the Capri. Great preamp for the money. | |
| LessLoss DFPC versus LessLoss BTB I've owned VD cables, including the Nite II and Master. They are nice cables but a bit difficult to put in your system. They will most likely require some strain relief. I now use 3 Tel Wire PCs in my system (and a pair of Fusion Audio Predators o... | |
| phono preamp advice A friend of mine just bought an Acqvox and has really been enjoying it. At the top end of your budget.If you don't mind tubes and stretching your budget just a little the K&K Audio SE is a really fine phono stage. I owned one and my rock colle... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? Agree with Pubul57. It is interesting to be able to hear the engineers signature in a recording, not to mention the sound stage changes from one recording to another. | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Yes, I used the Audio Physic method of speaker placement very effectively when long wall placement was afforded to me in a very small room. The chair was about 1.5 ft out from the wall and my head maybe 6" further when I sat in it for a total of a... | |
| Tube Pre/SS Amp versus SS Pre/Tube Amp I used to have tube pre and ss amp, but now have the opposite. As stated it can and does work both ways. | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp I have not done the comparison, but did use my TRL D-225 with both a Cary SLP-98 and Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII and can say that the solid state amp/tube preamp combination worked extremely well in my system.From what I have read about the AH TP 2... | |
| Best balanced signal cable The Chimera Labs are new for me too. Sort of fell into them. Check out the information on their website. Also, a 4m pair of Alpha Core TQ-2 cables are for sale here on Audiogon. These are very well regarded cables as well in your price range.Lastl... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? As Raul mentioned due to space I have had to put my chair up against a wall. Definitely not the most ideal position. I have found that an acoustic panel placed on the wall behind ones head helps tremendously in improving the sound in this position... | |
| "Budget" cable advice, please Devilboy, nice system, very simple, looks great, and I like the room treatments.However, I didn't quite figure out the reference from your post as to the single most effective upgrade you made to your system. Was it the reference in one of the pos... | |
| Oyaide What Oyaide plugs did you use? I have a few cables in my system with Oyaide plugs and use their outlets as well. I have an R1 for the wall outlet and the BPT power strip uses SWO-GX outlets. | |
| Best balanced signal cable Mogami as already suggested, Oyaide PA-02, and Chimera Labs Advantage Audio are all in your price range and very good. I've used all three in my system recently with great results. | |
| Best Integrated, period. The TRL ST-225 is only available direct through Tube Research Labs. You can inquire about them by contacting Paul Weitzel directly.There is an Audiogon review on the integrated. I happen to own the amp only version the D-225, which is what Ecruz j... | |
| NOS DAC I believe NOS in this case refers to non-oversampling. |
