So heres another new person to the hi-fi world who wants to get by without spending $6000 on equipment.
I've decided on purchasing the Alessandro MS-1's. I've been encouraged by members of this board to get a nice, inexpensive amp to go along with it.
The Go-Vibe seemed to be the best way to go, with the best quality:/value ratio. After e-mailing Norm about the final price of a "fully-functional" amp, I received this:
"If you mean by fully functional a mini to mini cable and rechrgeable battery
and charger then ;
Headsave Go-Vibe with specs as per www.headsave.com +
1 x Plainview 9v NiMH battery
1 x charger
1 x 9" headsave mini to mini cable with Canare cable and right angle Neutrik
gold plated plugs
Total = $114 shipped"
Woah...that's almost double what I expected to pay. I knew I'd need some accessories to make the amp work, but damn. Hell, being new to all this, I have no idea what I need that stuff for anyway.
If anyone here has any advice or suggestions, I'd love to hear it.
