  1. Re: Best Integrated Amp, New Or Used (up to ten years old) $1,500.00 Or Less - With A Warm Sound?

    I understand, part of the time I will be using a DAC, part not. But the DAC has no volume control or related capability.
  2. Re: Best Integrated Amp, New Or Used (up to ten years old) $1,500.00 Or Less - With A Warm Sound?

    I'm in the mid Michigan area
  3. Re: Best Integrated Amp, New Or Used (up to ten years old) $1,500.00 Or Less - With A Warm Sound?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I had thought about one of the Vincent SV 200's but I'm not entirely sure that the 25 wpc will sync well with the 8 ohm 86db sensitivity speakers I have.
  4. Re: Best Integrated Amp, New Or Used (up to ten years old) $1,500.00 Or Less - With A Warm Sound?

    Thanks for a very good recommendation, Nikhil. Although all of them on the link from Hi-FiShark are sold, I'll keep my eye open but they seem to be pretty sparse. Likely a combination of them being...

    Same thing I thought. If that was possible, my questions would be done.
  6. Best Integrated Amp, New Or Used (up to ten years old) $1,500.00 Or Less - With A Warm Sound?

    This amp is for a special purpose, to power my office system. It is important. though, as it is listened to while I research at night for 2.5-3 hours every day of the week. I don't need more than...

    Thanks, I had not realized they would bring that much for resale, lightly used.

    I greatly appreciate your thoughts, Al. I have an actual 5R4GY STC BRIMAR (FOOTSCRAY) to try out, which I will do asap. Can also access, for not too much money, an NOS Mullard 5AR4/GZ34 if you think...

    Re: KR Audio PX25 vs 242 vs the rest...

    Just to double check, you are referring to the actual reissues made by Western Electric ($1500 per matched pair) as opposed to the Psvane Western Electric reissues ($850.00).

    I would love the...

    Thanks, but I am afraid it might well be too dynamic. I'm looking for more warmth.

    Re: FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    Thank you for the assistance, Jack, but my initial Google search turns up nothing for a Lucas Audio in the UK. Do you have a more specific location in the UK?

    Where can an FTA Callisto USB cable be purchased? I cannot find a distributor in North America.

    My personal thanks, Wisnon/Norman, for the assistance. I've read your always knowledgeable and helpful contributions, over the years, in so many forums of consequence. I almost feel honored that...

    I'm resurrecting this discussion in hopes of getting some information that would really help me out. Going back a couple years, my dream DAC was a Golden Gate (single ended). I had the opportunity to...
  16. Re: Your Integrated Tube Amp Recommendations and Expertise requested

    I greatly admire the Triode amps, and have also heard how great the big ones sound at shows. The issue is that anything that would really work for my friend is simply too expensive for his budget.

  17. Re: Your Integrated Tube Amp Recommendations and Expertise requested

    Thanks for the recommendation, but while I admire the company, and what they try to do, you couldn't get further from the sound of a Line Magnetic amp than something from Rogue.

  18. Re: Your Integrated Tube Amp Recommendations and Expertise requested

    Mike, I understand your unhappiness with what the other dealer commented on, he certainly could have worded things better. I know that I, for one, took your recommendations of Triode Corporation...

    Skip, thanks very much for the recommendations. I've never heard anything less than exemplary about MastersounD, and their quality and performance. The demos I've heard of their amplification at...

  21. Re: Your Integrated Tube Amp Recommendations and Expertise requested

    Mike, thanks for giving me the heads up on that, it should be a wonderful amp but way out of his price range.. And with 845's, I think we would be back to the too much heat for a tiny room scenario?...
  22. Re: Your Integrated Tube Amp Recommendations and Expertise requested

    Sorry about the delay in providing the speaker information. However, I don't know that most, possibly any of you might be familiar with the ones in question. They have occasionally appeared at shows,...

  25. Re: Need A Quality Repair Service For My Vintage Luxman Amplifier

    Thanks Bill. I did do that, however, they only recommend service centers for the current, or at least reasonably current product line, going back ten or so years at most. They were kind enough to...
