    Amp recomendations

    Hi, not to resurrect an old thread, but just a quick Denon PMA1700NE review. Got the amp 3 days ago, and I still haven't listened to it long enough to have a solid conclusion but so far the amp is a massive improvement. The bass is very tight and I have lost most of my 40 and 80Hz hump in the...

    Amp recomendations

    So, I needed to rearrange a few things at work to get a day off to go and test out these amps. It was just for a day, but I found my winner. This is of course just my opinion. At the first shop I tested out Advance Paris vs Technics SU-GX70. Speakers were GoldenEar. Not sure of the model but I...

    Amp recomendations

    Sorry for the late reply, been busy last few days, getting ready to go on holiday. Won't have internet so this will have to wait until I get back, but this is my current "list": Technics su gx70 - great reviews, room correction, speaker load matching, eq?... Less watts than audiolab but...

    Amp recomendations

    Where did you find tdai1120 for 1475? I only saw at around 1800. Still, I'd probably rather have new or used from someone I know and trust. Got burned once. I also found that there is Yamaha RN1000 (didn't know they made something between 800 and 2000) and Technics SU-GX70 for around 1300-1500€...

    Amp recomendations

    I've looked at Lyngdorf, and it looks like a great amp, but it's missing usb in for audio (usb-b). It's also at least 1800€ second hand. Hegel doesn't have all the features that I need, and again, too expensive unfortunately. I also noticed that Denon has an older DAC chip, not sure how it...

    Amp recomendations

    I did experiment with speaker placement and considering the space they are now in an optimal position. Having them out by another 10-20 cm would help (a bit) but unfortunately impossible due to space in the room. I will look at lyngdorf used, but I would rather get new for waranty. As for the...

    Amp recomendations

    Hi gasolin, as for the second review: Pros: Mid Range Details - agree Warm (If you like that) - yes, most definitely Soundstage when you're perfectly positioned - agree Many seem to enjoy their sound signature - I certainly do Beautiful Design and Build Quality - I prefer monolithic square...

    Amp recomendations

    I would like an amp change just to have a built in DAC, more for convenience and some space saving. I never said that the amplifier is the issue, my room is. But my amp is on the warmer side, and my speakers are as well. They both also like to accentuate the bass just a little bit. On their own...

    Amp recomendations

    I have speakers on Wharfedale Evo stands, there is some to in, and distance is adjusted as best as possible, as it is a small room (some 20cm from the wall and 40cm from a corner). The speakers are bottom ported so distance from wall is not as significant in rear ported speakers (one of the...

    Amp recomendations

    Hi all, I am looking for a different amp but unfortunately I can't listen to many amps where I live, and ordering and returning them is somewhat expensive as I need to pay for return shipping. So I figured someone might give me some ideas/pointers online. Anyway, my setup is this: I have...
