| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA I am not a Sasha owner, but I do have Wilsons. I think the Cary is risky. I love tubes, but I think the 200 watts of pure class A in the Pass amp will be a better driver to the Sasha. I would be worried about lack of power with the Cary.i have ... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA My good friend has ARC VM220 tube mono amps for his Sasha 2's and speaks very highly of the combo. | |
| DENON APO 1500 And I agree with Paraneer :-)In fact, a cursory search for 2nd hand speakers at the $500 price point does show more promise than I had originally expected. Especially if you are willing to choose a speaker that is a bit on the older side, or has ... | |
| DENON APO 1500 With an amp of 150 watts and a speaker of 90db of sensativity, you should be able to get fairly good volume out of them. I'm not convinced a $500 speaker on the used market will be the way to go unless you just plain don't like the Polk speaker t... | |
| DENON APO 1500 Well, there is not a lot of info to go on here. While the amplifier that you have makes a difference, the larger considerations in choosing a speaker are your room, your taste in music, and your budget.please answer these questions and I'll give ... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 Freight shipping can be quite reasonable, especially if one has the crates... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 By the way, this may be a touch north of your budget, but there is a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 7s for sale on audiogon. They were originally asking $7k, but now it is down to $6200 I believe. I heard this model speaker recently and was very, very... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 I don't know about the Dali's, but I recently bought some Wilson audio Sophia 2's and I adore them! I also purchased them on the second hand market, with out a proper audition. Mine however were factory recertified and they looked as if they we... | |
| Peachtree Nova 65SE versus Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 You're welcome, I'm glad to help! Streaming doesn't necessarily imply wireless. Streaming simply means moving the data off the hard drive or Internet to a device such as a DAC and then playing via the audio system. So in my system I have my CD... | |
| Peachtree Nova 65SE versus Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 Well, two things to consider. One is the source for the music as the iPod and the other being the more powerful amp. 95 watts with 92 dB sensativity speakers is plenty of power. I play my 89 dB speakers with a 100 watt amp and I can rock out pr... | |
| Music tracks for tweaking I like No Sanctuary Here by Chris Jones. An extremely good copy of that track is available on the Stockfisch Compilation LP.a couple of other favorites are my home is in the delta by muddy waters from the album folk singer (mofi LP) and cat Steve... | |
| Peachtree Nova 65SE versus Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 My vote is for the Peachtree. I have owned product from both brands, and they are both nicely made, but I feel that the Nova will be a little higher end than the Cambridge in this case. The tube preamp stage is a nice touch. The DAC in the Nova... | |
| The next step to a better system For streaming consider the Bluesound Node 2 and a subscription to Tidal HiFi with uncompressed cd quality streams. You can use the onboard DAC for starters or connect to a DAC of your choosing. On the analog front, I would say your cartridge may ... | |
| Confused: Should I Upgrade Cables or Amp first? Stuart,So in order to take advantage of one of the music streaming services, and there are several of them, you need a way to get the music streaming to your integrated amplifier. One way is to have a computer hooked up to a DAC, and connect that... | |
| Confused: Should I Upgrade Cables or Amp first? stuartk, have you tried experimenting with the streaming services yet? You can get a Bluesound Node 2 from Best Buy and you get 2 weeks of no questions asked returns for a full refund. I recommend buying one to try it out for free, and you will l... |
