Hi, I want to build a small budget speaker system to use with my iMod and CDP. I'm considering the ALO modded Trends amp. Can anyone recommend speakers that match this amp, around $1000 (or less). I was looking through Stereophile's budget speakers recommendations: Renaissance Audio...

So I recently purchased the Oppo 981 to try a bunch of hybrid CD/SACD I have. When compared playing the same CD as redbook through my iMod (ripped lossles) and as SACD through the Analog out of the Oppo, i was very disappointed. The iMod and the NAD 541 I rarely use, both playing the redbook...

Hi everyone, I currently use and enjoy an iMod with ALO Jumbo Cyro X Silver dock connected to Xin supermacro. although this setup is quite enjoyable, I do feel there is a need for improvement. As my budget is limited now, I'll be able to purchase only the portable Vcap dock with the Bling...

I just upgraded to HD650 unexpectedly. And I don't even have a working Amp. (I have to get my Melos fixed soon) Here is the link for anyone intersted in HD650 for $299 (free Shipping) http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.proc...feed.SEN+HD650 Enjoy.

Hi, After five year of music bliss, my Melos SHA/GOLD Reference died. I tried to contact Melos restoration in Vegas to no avail, and then found out that they are tragically out of business. I couldn't find any reliable place that was willing to even look at the amp. I came back to this...

Ok, I have the change virus again. I've listened to all my Cds with my melos (and thats a lot) in the last few months and I want the exitement of a new Amp again. As I'm on a budget, I'll have to sell my Melos before I'll buy something else and thats going to be painful. Well, I've been...

As my wife saw my frustration from my humming Mg Head, she agreed that I sould buy something more substantial this time. I can spend $1000 without having to hide it from her! Anyway I don't have much time listening to music. I have only one hour a day after I get back from work and my son...

As my MG Head is seriously humming and it will probably take me time to fix it (if i'll succeed at all), I need a new amp. I'm using HD580 and was about to buy the ER4s just when my MG Head started humming. I really liked the sound of the MG Head although I was missing a little detail with...

I searched the forum and tried anything you suggested, and nothing helped. It's not the left channel hum but two channels hum. It's pretty loud on the Headphone jack and lower on the OTL jack. It is also noticeable without any tubes in the amp and without any connections to it but the power...

Thanks to the advices on this forum, I've reached a peak in my enjoyment from music. I'm now using Nad C541 - Outlaw Cables - Mg Head OTL (with Sylvania 5751) and HD580 The problem is that I like mostly listening to music at my desk in a study I share with my wife. She is a graduate student...
