| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? Pipebro...It is always easy to recommend what each of us likes, but..............What is wanting her to upgrade ? What does she want more of / What does she seem to be missing ( imaging, coherence, neutral tone, dynamics, etc. ? What music does sh... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I have posted this before ( as well as in other threads ). Everything in audio requires break in. The more revealing of the system ( includes room acoustics ), the more obvious the breakin becomes. Patience, and ones ears ( and mood ) plays a huge... | |
| Pro Amps - What have you tried? @erik_squires to each his own. Through my ML CLS at the time I owned the Andromeda, I did not like the combo as much as with other amplifiers. Did not like it through the Lascalas either, tubes were preferable with them. It was a good mating with... | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... I cannot recall who and when, but someone here on the Gon said in an earler thread that he had bought, and was using, the Chinese DarTZeel amp, and it was the best he had ever had. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross Patience my boy ! | |
| Pro Amps - What have you tried? 2 of my favorite amplifiers are a Smart Theatre Systems TA 242 ( modified ), and a Yamaha P 2160 ( modified ). Both sounding different, as the STS is a mosfet / Hafler design. Both sound excellent with my Klipsch Lascalas ( modified ). They " foll... | |

| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? @jdliguori, please do not do it here, as there are too many snake oil threads already ( which I am a contributor ). Enjoy the Jack Johnson, as it is awesome ! Always, MrD. | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote I am not sure why I bother posting. 45 + years in this hobby, and I have learned to use, and trust, my ears. I never needed anyone to " sell me " on anything. The naysayers and trolls continue to do what they do, but most of them never have exper... | |
| Alternatives to Klipsch for efficient/very efficient sub-$300 listening speakers? Floor standing / bookshelf ? Room / speaker / listener setup ? Musical tastes ? Loudness level ? Used Heresys or Fortes as suggestions. | |
| Klipsch Heresy Speakers Circa 1976 ...Type HDBR Dampen the mid horns ( from the rear ), as this makes a substantial improvement throughout the entire speaker. Look up " horn dampening in speakers ". | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? @glow_worm, I am assuming you are a Miles Davis fan, as am I. A real test for any speaker ( system really ) and an awesome musical experience is Miles's " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ". Could be my favorite of his ( although he has an amazing librar... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, I am not familiar with the Theta monoblocks ( nor the Black system ), but my understanding of this technology is a long break in period is required. I doubt you will give it enough time. I have mentioned the importance of break in time before,... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps will62 has not shown up for a while, as I suppose a few of us hurt his feelings....... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Although I suspect the Adcom will not compare favorably against the pair of Hegels, I am guessing the Adcom will be a killer at it's price. Adcom surely did it's homework, as well as studied the competition before releasing this series of amp. Jus... |
