Upgrading, but to what???Confusion
Recent windfall has allowed me a small bit of geld for equipment...but I
have no idea which way to go. I have a good "redbook" solution, no vinyl, nice speakers(though I would like to try something different ), nice cables, room treatments, etc..my equipment: Denon 2900 and Creek CD player, squeezebox, oppo 970 Von Schweikert VR-4 SR, QUAD ESLs, Link Audio monitors, B_W 801s DAC: Mytek Stereo 96, Crane Song HEDD Cables--Vampire Wire, MIT Integrated amp-Mastersound reference 845 power amp--FM Acoustics , bryston, hafler Hydra and PS Audio Quintet power conditioners, GUTWIRE AC cords vibrapods, room treatments from GIK acoustics and Auralex, various other accessories(some resulting from the fog of voodoo slinging salesmen, some actually good purchases) So...I have about 5500 USD or so for spending. I love my AMPs, cables, and enjoy my DACs and listening to CDs..What i am curious about is new speakers, a "decent" SACD-only or universal(with no transcoding of DSD stream) player , and much less so, Vinyl..What would you do?? Can you offer me. suggestions for: 1.)speakers in the 5500.00 price range(full range) (What I am not getting out of the VR-4 is enough detail, bass extension, and "speed"/transient response..Quads are the same way, but I use them for mastering and have gotten used to their sound..I love Euphonic sounding gear and detail... 2.)SACD player in the above price range(the denon doesnt cut it, Oppo transcodes).id like to hear SACD on a decent player! 3.) Vinyl(??)solution in the above price range..I dont give half a continental damn about Vinyl, but I put it up there at any rate.. any suggestions would be very, very much appreciated. I have done a lot of reading, but value your feedback. =Tynan |

Or if ur in the mood, build yourself a big arse no-holds-barred solid state amp... If you need ideas for that, try DIYaudio.com it's full of spectacular circuit ideas. Email me privately about LP "solutions"... :_) _-_-bear http://www.bearlabs.com |
