| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? Another aspect - When I got started in the 60s, there was very little used equipment and no good way to become aware of any. You were forced to buy new. Today we have the internet and sales forums everywhere, as well as Ebay. So much great equipme... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? What I don't understand is the idea that integrated amps are a new trend. My first "good" stereo in 1965 had an integrated amp. They have always been with us. Took a back seat to receivers for a couple of decades due to the popularity of FM radi... | |
| The awakening... I love this thread. I have been interested in this hobby for 50 years and had to carefully budget to put together decent systems in the 2-3k range. I have been the only one in my family to be interested, so tried not to shoot the family budget. ... | |
| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? Surprised no one has mentioned the Chromecast Audio. Set it up on your network, plug it into your amp and you are good. $35 - worth a shot. I use mine all the time. | |
| The High End for Under a Grand? Well, I’ve tried out high end stuff and my criteria is to achieve a very believable presentation, comparable to the local symphony I’ve been attending for several years. Last Spring I set up a small 2.1 system in the bedroom that accomplishes that... | |
| Dac Technology Mature? I agree with Eric. I have an AD1955 in my Emotiva pre-amp and I noticed no real difference on hi-res files, but mp3's and Redbook CD's are much better sounding. | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. I was in your exact same position. I got this. A little more power than the Cambridge. Should be fine in a bedroom. I love mine. Much better sound than my old Audiosource stack. Actually has a tuner, too, and if you want to add more power lat... | |
| Schiit not shipping audioman58, no Schiit. This situation may be beyond their control, but they have a responsibility to adequately explain what is happening to their customers. If, as your post states, orders will be shipped on 6-6, that should have been communicated. | |
| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? Emotiva BasX preamp and Amplifier. 150wpc both for $600. No bass management, but leaves enough to get very good speakers that don't need a sub. | |
| Long lost songs Great idea for a post. I have chased songs for months or years myself. Today, with the internet and the various music services, It is much easier to find things. A couple of mine: When I was in H.S. in 1961, I heard a brassy, uptempo version o... | |
| I, Tonya Soundtrack Yeah, it is great. Even has my old fav Joanie Sommers on it. I liked the movie a lot, too | |
| Integrated or Receiver? +1 for the Emotiva TA100. Just picked one up today and hooked it up to my Monitor Audio Bronze speakers. Very well made and good presentation. Sounds terrific. Tipping point for me was the optical input, which allows me to use a toslink on my ... |
