Meh, Receivers are for the weak eared folk

Solid State Reference Amps FTW

Can't beat it... 200 x 2 @ 8ohm RMS, .002% THD, 10hz-100khz @ 8ohm 50% power .000%THD, 124db SNR and you really can't touch the dynamic headroom which I should really test sometime. **That's my Yamaha M-70, it powers my mains**

But for high quality recievers, I can't say much can touch a high end pioneer elite, short of a top tier Yamaha, Denon or Onkyo.
Don't know if Marantz is still in the game really.

****
Thanks for the info on the 280's... I was looking at a few other sets too, I just know I love all the other Senns I have owned.

freaksavior · Mar 16, 2009, 09:39 PM

integra are great receiers too

made by onkyo. i wanted a 3809 denon but it was to much for me at the time. not a huge yamaha fan tbh but they are good.

Ya, I'm not the biggest fan of Yamaha receivers myself, you pay a pretty hefty premium still based on their great name from the '70s and '80s.

Random Murderer · Mar 16, 2009, 11:22 PM

wow. ok...

the source:

that is a DAC designed by me.

the 'phones:

clockwise, starting with the beige 'phones: Kalimar-Tronics T850(1965 vintage), Sennheiser HD650, Sennheiser PC155 used as a foster-phone for NOS SFI 32Ω planar drivers.

the amplification:

modified Xiang Sheng 708b Hi-Fi preamp, being used as a preamp and headphone amplifier.

custom-built modified MHHA mounted next to my bed.

the portable setup:

Grado sr80 with Canare StarQuad cable, fixed and modded Creative Zen Micro(16GB), custom-built modified Linkwitz crossfeed filter, custom-built modified CMoy amp.

I think that was when I was on hiatus anyway.

Millennium · Jan 9, 2013, 07:26 PM

My setup is good! (400th post!

)

Triangle COMETE Ex speakers, with a massive crossover and bracing upgrade inside:

Amp is a valve amp - Yaqin M10-L with upgraded tubes. Didn't get a good pic myself but it's this one:

DAC is a Micromega MyDAC, a newish DAC but apparently beats most comparatively priced DACs... (also good power and phono cables):

Finally my power and speaker cables. The toffee is for size comparison

I also have one of these BK XLS200 DF subs hooked up to the amp:

(that driver is 10" wide)

Let's see yours... I see a couple of really nice ones already at least!

Yeah, I remember there was a period of six to nine months when you were like "screw TPU" and left, but inevitably come back. We all do. TPU is like Hotel California, you can never leave.

Yamaha RX-V371

Jamo S 426 HCS 3 & SUB 210

Total price paid $477. Would have been about $417 had I waited a couple weeks for a price drop on the AVR. The surrounds are not as small as they look in the pic. They actually have the same size mids as the center.
