I have recently purchased an entirely new/old dream-system, (a very OLD dream I might add), based on components that were unobtainable on my budget 25 years ago. Call it "Vintage Rothchild on a Beer budget" audio, as I'm quite content with 2 channel, (for now), and untill I understand more of what's transpired in the last 2 decades, I have a firm footing on familiar ground.
My Audiogon purchases have been a tube Dynaco PAS 2/3, to feed a pair of SS Marantz MA-5 mono amps.
This leaves the "Duh" question of how to set everything to optimum preformance.
From what I'm hearing, I really need to let it all simmer for a coupple of days, (at least 4) and give the analog gear a chance to get well aquainted.
They are driving a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10, and based on the preliminary excursions so far, I'm impressed with these fugitives from the Smithsonian.
So "on" is OK? (We ARE talking about good/checked-out/full of T.L.C. gear from Goner's, here).
Thanks, any and all opinions, please!
Jim
