| Best Integrated, period. At the $5,000 level I'll nominate the $870 Clones 25i. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Not SET but the greatest bargain I've come across in amplification is the Clones 25i integrated. Best amp I've ever had. | |
| Who here loves his/her Rogue Audio Integrated amp? Bought a Rogue Sphinx integrated. It was the most problematic component I ever had. Noise from both channels and then both would go out. Sent it to Rogue for repair. Rogue never returned four phone calls. After they said they "fixed" it, they ship... | |
| amp or preamp next? Don't know your power requirements but I currently run a Clones 25i integrated (25w/8 and 50w/4) and have never been happier....EVER. Easily sounds more natural, organic and just plain more like REAL music than any other preamp/amp combo I've had ... | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? LOL. Yes, I've been doing this audio thing for a long time. I've been through my share of ups and downs, buying selling, failed equipment etc, so I know what the madness is like. Regarding the rest of my system, I have no intention whatsoever to c... | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? Sorry for the late response. I've been away for a few days.Kiko65, I purchased the Graham Slee Era Gold mkV. I also purchased a Ortofon 2m Blue brand new but haven't received it yet. About a month ago I decided to get into vinyl for the first time... | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? Hmmm. The table will be plugged into a voltage regulator so it WILL see a steady 120V. All of my equipment draws such little power the output always shows 120V in the display, never going up or down even one volt so I should be good there. Like Ki... | |
| How loud is loud? On every single song I play, I ask myself, "If I were listening to this live, at what volume would it be played at?", and I adjust it accordingly. I've been to a certain audiophile's house a few times. His system retails for well over $300K. Every... | |
| Integrated advice I had both the Wyred STI-500 and the Hegel H70 integrateds on my speakers, which are less efficient than yours. I ditched both of them for a 25 watt Clones 25i integrated and HAVE NEVER been more happy. The Clones makes EVERY other amp I've had so... | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one Steveashe, glad you're happy....for now. I don't know what u paid for the LFD but going by your musical tastes, I think you could've done better for less. However if you're happy, enjoy. | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one Oh, and it's less than $900 new. | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one I don't know your power requirements, listening habits, room size, etc...but I've recently took ownership of the greatest amp I've ever owned, the Clones 25i integrated. In my system, it is very natural, organic and just plain "real" sounding. It ... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Oh yeah, and another......Coincident Super/Total Eclipse something or other speakers. Sounded DREADFUL in my room. No other component I've ever heard left me asking myself, "What the hell is all the hype about?" Couldn't sell them quickly enough. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Tbg, I'm unfamiliar with Exemplar, however doing some quick research shows me that many people are happy with their products. Looks like they make some nice stuff. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Rogue Sphinx integrated. Had crackling coming from the left channel and right channel would cut out completely when changing inputs. Sent it back to Rogue for repair. Rogue never contacted me to give me status of the repair. Never returned my mess... |
