| Arpege Reference tubeamp info needed 30 Watts will be plenty for LaScalas. I think it would be a fine match but you will have to try it for yourself to be sure. | |
| What is biasing, regarding a tube amp? Bias adjusts the operating point of the tube (or transistor which has the same thing). Tubes and transistors don't operate from zero voltage but rather hundreds of volts or a few volts respectively, depending on the circuit. The bias is this volta... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? probably. :) | |
| networked ICs My T2 interconnects have essentially zobel networks in them. I never opened my speaker cable boxes but they are probably similar. I would say that lesser MIT models are conventional indeed. Lord knows that most companies charge lots more money jus... | |
| networked ICs Rch10: I put a pair of my MITs on an impedance analyzer and the bandwidth was superior to all amps I have ever tested. I don't where your information came from but as far as I am concerned, it is totally wrong.Arthur | |
| Tube Amp, Integrated with "Sub- Out"? Antique Sound Lab integrateds typically have subwoofer outputs (at least the latest versions) and the ones I have heard sounded very good. There are a bunch to choose from. Arthur | |
| networked ICs I have always preferred MITs to other cables in my system - although I have to admit that sometimes the differences are so small I am not sure I could pick them out in a blind test. I find not only their bass to be just right but the mids and high... | |
| Best midrange on a high current SS amplifier McIntosh MC352 sounds like exactly what you are looking for. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Holy crap! you got MC40s + speakers for $750!! Have you seen what MC40s can go for on Ebay or Agon? Man, I wish I could have gotten as luck as you. You can upgrade speakers and CD player for a LONG time before those amps will become the limiting f... | |
| Used pre amp advice McIntosh C712 - I have compared it to several preamps in this price range and the Mc is killer. Used prices have been on the increase in the last year though... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I have the exact same feelings as Chuck. I don't know why but I never thought systems with Wilson speakers had much life to them - they are simply too sterile for me.I see a bias in all reviews, whether Watch Dog or Stereophile. I trust my ears in... | |
| AC polarisation. Does it matter? I have heard of this before - a guy who posted here about 4 years ago got a McIntosh amp that he felt sounded bad. He tried and tried to figure out what the incompatibility issue was only to find out that the amp was hooked up out of phase due to ... | |
| UNDECIDED UTOPIA. I know the Divas well and would be very worried about setting them up in a 14x14 room. I think your room is simply too small to properly handle the side-firing woofers. You should look more towards the Altos to avoid this problem. Other option wou... | |
| mcintosh owners I haven't had the same experience as Theo - of the 6 McIntoshes I have had, the type of bulb varied like crazy, sometimes three different types in the same amp!! (7200 and C712)The 1201 doesn't use LEDs - they are miniature incadescent bulbs.I thi... | |
| Wilson Audio or JM Lab I don't have experience with the top-end models of either brand but I do know the smaller models of both. It seems to me that Wilson and JM Lab have very different presentations and are hard to compare. I would say the Wilsons are more "hifi" and ... |
