| speakers under 1,500 excellent top to bottom sound Alon IV's available in South Carolina on the Audio Circle site for $1000 if you are in a hurry ... if not, a pair of V's will show if you are patient. The Alon V is one of the best "bang for your buck" speakers available on the used market. I just... | |
| speakers under 1,500 excellent top to bottom sound Move up the Alon line ... even the V's can be found in your price range. VERY little in the $1500 will have the bass of the Alon V plus if you are accustomed to the dipole mids and highs of the Alon's, direct radiating speakers may sound "wrong" t... | |
| Ray Samuels B52 headphone amp as preamp? No clue ... unless the headphone amp was designed for use with cans that are hard to drive and need a lot of gain, the Dact does seem like a poor choice. | |
| which ProAc speaker? that is a HUGE room ... not sure ProAc's are even the best choice for a room that size. I hope you are not going to be sitting 20ft from the speakers! | |
| Ray Samuels B52 headphone amp as preamp? The Dact is an expensive unit on its own (right around $200 USD) so I do not think it is used to save cost. I actually have a Dact in a passive linestage and have been able to use 20 of its 24 steps. In the RSA Stealth, the gain with the tube stag... | |
| Ray Samuels B52 headphone amp as preamp? You might get more responses on the head fi forum ... I had an RS Stealth for double duty as a headphone amp and preamp but the gain was WAY too much to use as a preamp. The Stealth used a Dact attenuator which has 24 clicks of volume control. I w... | |
| gradient revolution amp suggestion they do like POWER ... also heard them with a Classe CA400 which was a good match. I would THINK the Red Dragon Leviathan Monoblocks which are 500w class D amps would be an excellent match as well. One of the best of the class D amps available in ... | |
| gradient revolution amp suggestion A friend had a Rowland Model 10 and a Plinius SA-100mk III ... he came down heavily on the side of the Plinius especially in pure class A mode | |
| Upgrading Cary CAD 300sei integrated I THINK there is an F1 version of the 300sei like there is of the SLI-80 (if someone knows for sure, please chime in). A number of thiings are upgraded in those units but it is not inexpensive ... good news is it would be a "factory approved" upgr... | |
| Upgrading Cary CAD 300sei integrated cap upgrade may be worhtwhile ... I would certainly CONSIDER having it done by Cary Audio though IF I was concerned about re-sale value at all | |
| Upgrading Cary CAD 300sei integrated Well it will only marginally help resale value should you ever go that route ... never come close to re-couping the cost of the modifications. Probably even less so if you do the mods yourself rather than a well known tech.The AirTight ATM-300B ha... | |
| Samadhi Ichiban? happens some times ... maybe the seller will let you know the name of the party they sold to ... always a chance they will not work out for them and be looking to sell | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion not trying to talk him out of a SET amp, just not sure that will solve the problem of too much gain in the system. would be a shame to put $1500 into an amp and STILL have too much gain from the source allowing you a tiny range on the volume contr... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion are you sure the problem lies with your pre or amp and not your source??? maybe your source has an unusually high output voltage??I had an issue with the output voltage of a source using a passive pre with a SET amp. the volume control could only ... | |
