| Rockin Speaker under $1000 used JM Reynaud Trente have terrific bass and need just 20 -30 watts to fill that room. Very musical and robust. About $1200.00 used. | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system Bobby Miles/Troiki GurtuAmazing synth (Miles), percussion (Gurtu), various acoustic instruments all meshed together in a terrific progressive/jazz/world albumThis CD has amazing sound and when you consider Gurtu plays percussion it is high-lighted... | |
| SS integrated for Proac 2.5 - Plinius or Unico? I have owned the Plinius 8200 MKII and the MF A300 and prefer the Plinius which has a fuller and more musical sound where I felt the MF had light bass. I would not say the Plinius was substantionally more detailed though. You may want a Rowland Co... | |
| Best integrated tube amp for Triangle Celius 202 Audio Note Oto or Soro SE. Extremely neutral and musical SETs with amazing bass and power for their rated 9 and 18 watts respectively. Do your self a favor and check either one out. Beautiful to look at too. I bought a Soro SE about 6 weeks ago an... | |
| What does Redbook is the standard CD. Sony literaly had (has) a red book with all the specs for CD code back when they were first developed. There have been other threads you could look up if you want more info. | |
| going to tubes, just one question.. FWIW power ratings can be misleading. My Audio Note Soro (SET) is rated at 18 watts and can drive my 88db speakers to near all they can handle. The Soro sounds like it has closer to 80 watts and very vibrant and flowing it is, the music flies out ... | |
| Muse model 9 sig CD player how good? Today I compared the Muse model nine sig. Gen3 to a Electrocompaniet EMC-1 UP (not sure of exact model but the latest and greatest). In a short comparison the Muse held it's own with the Electro being more open and natural but a little too smooth ... | |
| Muse model 9 sig CD player how good? Thank you all very much, I borrowed a model nine sig. gen 3 overnight (thanks Tim!) and I certainly prefer it to the Sony. It is the sort of component that makes you question your other components so good are its virtues. What I mean is that at fi... | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Miles Gurtuamazing synth, percussionalmost like King Crimson and Joe Zawinal blended | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies BTW I did have the Zero autoformoers and they are very nice and help a lot and fun to play with, but I still decided to go with a Plinius SA100 MKIII solid state amp. | |
| Edge M series amps, how good are they? HP of TAS loves the Edge amps and has written at least a few articles in the last few years about them. | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies I vote no, it will not work. I had Rogue Magnum 120 power amps and could get moderate levels in my 13 x 22 x 8 room, not much more volume than that and I thought it lacked dynamics. | |
| Remote Preamp $1000 Used Quad 99 is very neutral and musical and you will be in remote heaven as just about every pre amp function is on it. | |
| Seeking Speaker Suggestions for Cary 805c Love my JM Reynaud Trente speakers which are easy to drive (currently using an 18 WPC SET amp) have lovely midrange, dynamic bass that goes to about 45hz and exquisite highs all in a very coherent and large image soundfield. I switched from Maggie... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k Plinius 8200 MKIIvery nice |
