    Integrated tube amp fans

    Considering the good sound quality of these amplifiers, I would ask if it is worth buying tube amplifiers from China because they are at a good price. They can be found for less than 500 - 600 pounds or US $. The brand Yaqin and Music Angel make this kind of cheap devices but perhaps breakable...

    Has anyone tried the speaker cable ECOSSE REFERENCE ES 2.3?

    I would wish add those speaker cables to my equipment (marantz CD 6002 + Musical Fidelity A1 + B&W DM601 S2) and I´ve seen that have a good price. Does anyone have experience in the sound produced?. Are bright or soft cables?. Is good the soundstage?. Thanks you.

    Rogers LS4a/2 + Musical Fidelity A1. ¿It´s a good option?

    Yes, I have the original device that was launched in the mid-80s. But I like their sound, specially with Jazz music. Now I managed to improve the sound changing the cables (the interconect and also the speaker cable). I have the Kimber Timbre (interconnect) and the Supra Ply 3.4 (speaker...

    Rogers LS4a/2 + Musical Fidelity A1. ¿It´s a good option?

    The source is a Marantz CD6002 player. Perhaps is better the Audiolab 8200 CD and I need to change the Marantz for a better sound?.

    Rogers LS4a/2 + Musical Fidelity A1. ¿It´s a good option?

    Or perhaps it´s better to change the speaker cable. I use now the Van den Hul CS-122 hybrid but I would wish to put the Audioquest X2. This cable can to help to remove the too much bright in the high frecuencies of my equipment?.

    Rogers LS4a/2 + Musical Fidelity A1. ¿It´s a good option?

    I think that the A1 is a good amplifier but with the time (the A1 is 20 years old) I´ve noticed a change in their sound and has lost the sweetness and now the amplifier sounds too bright...for this reason I wish to change the speakers and perhaps I can to solve the problem with the Rogers...

    Epos ES 14. Is worthwhile to buy them?

    About the EPOS ES 14, I believe that those speakers needs a dedicated speaker stands of the same brand EPOS to give the better sound. But those speaker stands is difficult to find. I´ve thought in to buy the Soundstyle Z2 at 130 Euros and I hope that the ES 14 works right on the Z2...

    Epos ES 14. Is worthwhile to buy them?

    Also I´ve found a pair of REGA RS3 speakers at price of 350 pounds and perhaps I decide to buy those product. Maybe be better option than the EPOS ES14 because I like the classic "english sound" with not-bright treble.

    Epos ES 14. Is worthwhile to buy them?

    Thanks you for the comments. I believe that the EPOS ES14 are the best match for my old Musical Fidelity A1. Better than the QUAD 11L. There are other models like EPOS M12 or EPOS M5i but I like the ES14. Also I´ve heard good things about the HEYBROOK HB1. These speakers are other model...

    I need a good speaker for my old Musical Fidelity A1 amplifier

    I have read excellent comments about B&W 685's (specially with the soundstage) and also I consider this option.

    I need a good speaker for my old Musical Fidelity A1 amplifier

    I have the speakers in a room of 6,5 metres by 3 metres . I prefer to hear the music when the speakers are separated about 3 metres because the soundstage is better. I think floorstanded give more bass than a bookshelf, so I prefer bookshelf because I like natural sound with clear midrange. I...

    New B&W 685 s2 bit too bright

    If the new B&W 685 S2 are bright, I think a solution is trying to change the cables. For example, a Van den Hul The Name for the interconnect and a Van den Hul CS-122 Hybrid for the speakers can to make a less bright sound.
