Hi Friends,
Upgraditis
I think the next step of the never ending upgrade path will be the amp as I want detail as well full bodied midrange. Basically I want it all.
My Preferences
Not looking for accurate reproduction but fun and enjoyment where I can listen to my music for hours and forget about the music system.
I dont like lean sounding amp likes Bryston or overly warm amps like Sugden. I know synergy plays a vital part in the chain and realized that we should not go on the strengths and weakness of independent units but as complete systems.
My interpretation/ realization
How 'I judge a system on how well it convinces me, if I close my eyes, and if the music is involving. Then thats my benchmark for quality sound.
So I am not concerned about having tons of bass. Favorites in my record collection are Pink Floyd, Peter White, BB King, Radiohead. I enjoy more music with female vocalists like Karen Carpenters.
Research
I am not afraid of buying used. I have done some research on the internet and have read good things about Arcam amps. I also know that I should listen to as many amps as possible but this is difficult when looking at the used market as stuff may appear in different cities.
Price
Price is not necessarily a constraint (although it will influence how long it takes me to acquire my dream system). I am prepared to spend enough to reveal the benefits of my amp etc. but not so that I am spending hundreds where the extra benefits are negligible or not revealed by my equipment. I thought that an expensive amp may give you all that you want. However I have realized that even a 1300 pound amp did not suit my requirement.
I like to know if someone has listened to an Arcam amp- FMJ A22. What is the sound signature and how will it suit PMC TB2?
Please feel free to share your views if you have tried ARCAM. It shall be interesting to read your experiences...
I hope all of that makes sense. Many thanks for your contributions in anticipation.
Thanks for your time.
