Buy new amp

[rockerman66]

Hi all I'm after amp for a system I'm putting together. Do anyone know if there new amps that still have tape monitor or coupler on them. If not can you recommend a second hand amp with price range of £250 to 300. Thanks Ian

 

[rockerman66]

I have just been offered a tangent exeo amp it looks very nice but I'm not sure if it's got the tape monitor.

Not a make I've ever used. Neither the make I know much about.

I might be wrong but probably wouldn't get one myself.

Xindak amplifiers from China get a lot of praise. They look very well constructed and measure with respectable performance. Xindak A06 would be my pick.

Thanks all. i have across this TEAC A-R650 what do you guys thonk. Thanks Ian

 

[insider9]

What speakers have you got and why do you need tape out?

 

[rockerman66]

I whant tape to connect a graphic equaliser . My speaker are wharfedale diamond 220.

 

[insider9]

I believe just about any NAD would suit.

If you want something cheaper go for C320BEE if you'd rather get closer to your budget C370.

Any reason why the graphic equaliser is so important? What frequencies do you use it on mostly?

The Onkyo A9010 is generally available and has been well received/reviewed . Should be in your price range.

Cheers tonky

 

[rockerman66]

The graphic equaliser is a must as the one I got is from my late father in law it's the Pioneer gr777. As we only got it one the grounds we use it so my wife won't let it go.

 

[rockerman66]

I do like the look of the Onkyo A9010. But will I be able to use my equaliser on it

 

[insider9]

How many sources do you use?

Onkyo doesn't have a tape loop. I've had one and if buying new for the money it's one of the best.

 

[Vladimir]

It's also a collectors item. I wouldn't sell it either.

 

[rockerman66]

This onkyo tx 8255 reciver looks what I'm after but not cant find it available in the uk

I have seen a cambridge audio azur 740a for sale.i have found the manual on line but it's not very clear to me whether it has a tape monitor to allow me to connect my graphic equaliser. Could anyone let me know if my equaliser would work. Thanks Ian

A simple search for images shows it does indeed have Tape Out and Tape In sockets

 

[rockerman66]

I see it's got tape in tap out but I'm not sure if it's got tape monitor facilities. Thanks Ian

The tape button acts as a 'proper' tape monitor loop on both versions of the 840A. It's in the manuals.

Indeed. I would imagine that the 740A is similarly equipped but cannot confirm that.

Thanks all for your feedback. I have just ordered the nad c356bee. Thanks Ian
