| 'Box' speaker that reproduces the piano well. Agree with ATC, but your 35 wpc amp would probably not have enough juice to drive them properly so you'd likely be limited to using your ss amp. Best of luck. | |
| Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers Agree that Vandy 2wq sub is the way to go. Once you have the sub dialed in you won't want to listen without it anymore. It's a game changer. | |
| Modern Processors, What to DO?!? Any processor you add to your system will likely change the sound, which doesn't sound like something you'd prefer. If I were you I'd just get a good AV receiver with preamp outs and use that for HT processing and powering the center and surround... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Sorry but I have to ask some stupid questions as a prospective buyer who can't find the answers. What's the difference between Don's model 1 and 2 preamps? What's the difference between Don's version of the SP14 and the VTA version (design, pric... | |
| Newbie - Replacing front speakers & going 5.0! Advice needed :) Agree with above. Nice choices with speakers and receiver BTW. If music is a priority, get the best front L/R speakers you can afford. I'd listen to the silvers and see if they sound significantly better to you than the bronze. If so, save up ... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps "I like the idea of a no-fuss, very clean ss, valuing sound stage and detail over warmth"There's a Bryston BP26 for sale here now that nails this in spades. | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 Congrats! As a long-time DNA-0.5 Rev A (now considering upgrade myself) owner I'm sure you'll be thrilled. Keep us posted once you get it broken in. | |
| Moving up from Totem Arro That's a tough question. Normally I'd recommend something like ProAc monitors and be on my way, but you've got good speakers that obviously do many things you like. In this instance I'd be tempted to try a tubed pre first (since it sounds like y... | |
| Efficient bookshelf speakers for my office @auxinput - as you undoubtedly know, sensitivity is only part of the equation. The JA RM7s impedance does not dip below 6 ohms at any frequency and has relatively benign phase angles so may work fine with lower powered tube designs depending on t... | |
| McCormack dna1 to Sony 1040 What's your budget for a preamp? Input impedance of the DNA-1 is 100k ohms, which might be tough to match with most tube preamps, no? | |
| Efficient bookshelf speakers for my office There's a nice pair of Joseph Audio RM7si Signatures for sale here now that do just what you're looking for and sound fantastic. Best of luck. | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 A while back I spoke with Steve about this, and he said the DNA125/225 were roughly on par with what was the Rev B upgrade mods in older models. If that’s the case then a DNA1 Gold is likely to be significantly better than a stock 225. By far your... | |
| New Class A/B under $6K, your recommendation? I've had two amps in my system that do exactly what you're looking for although being very different in approach. They are the Rogue Medusa and the Liberty Audio B2B-100 (of PBN design). The Rogue is a class-D amp with a tubed input stage while ... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's.... Here's one worth a look. Fully decked out would be about half your price limit, and you could get their top phono pre for another $900 and still have $ left over. http://www.tubes4hifi.com/SP14.htmYou might email Don Sachs to see if he can add al... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Here's a link with some customer reviews toward the bottom. The last one is from a guy who compared directly to ARC and Prima Luna preamps...http://www.tubes4hifi.com/SP14.htm |
