| Advice on online shipping labels I'm not trying to sell it. I'm upgrading it. This the need to ship. But if I were selling I'd agree with you | |
| finding the weak link @rhach Very nice. The Manley Chinook is supposedly a great bang for the buck. Kevin Deal really likes them. I have never heard it but I trust the opinions of those who have them. You should be very happy with that upgrade FWIW I'd wait a coupl... | |
| Looking for a change. 90 wpc is plenty of power for the speakers which are 91db efficient. If you want to make them sing introduce tube amp. If that doesn't float you boat then add a couple subs, preferably Rel to the mix | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? Like @jasonbourne52 , I doubt it is the amp. I have heard this amp and it didn't sound bad to me. Aamof Bill Watkins used that amp to demo the Gen 4 speakers which go down to 41 hz. There was no doubt that they hit the 41hz.. I suspect something e... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? J Geils - Bloodshot Billy Joel - 52nd Street Crack The Sky - Safety In Numbers J Geils never could capture the magic in the studio that they did in concert. Peter Wolf knew how to hold a crowd. Though I had heard Billy Joel on the radio while w... | |

| finding the weak link @rhach Addendum I rarely disagree with @ghdprentice but will do so somewhat this time. I will agree that the PrimaLuna is not the last word in high end audio and integrateds may have some compromises that aren't made in separates. At some point... | |
| finding the weak link Your speakers go down to 28hz. You will be surprised at how much more info will be extracted from your main speakers when you ad a subwoofer. Add 2. You won't be disappointed. my speakers are rated to 20hz. yet the subs were probably my biggest im... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow Would you consider the vinyl having Audiophile SQ? Yes indeed. Mine is in NM condition. I’m not necessarily a country fan but this is more bluegrass IMO. And I love good pickin’. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Don Francisco - One Heart at a Time Ricky Scaggs - Live in London Tower of Power - In The Slot David Sanborn - Close Up Grand Funk Railroad - Phoenix I'm breaking in some JJ KT 88 tubes. Sounds pretty good but still need a little more time fo... | |
| High current power cables It’s marketing, imo. A 12 ga wire will work on any piece of gear. My 1200 Watt amplifier has a captive cord that looks to be a 14 ga wire. My saw pull 13 -15 amps and I ran it on a 12 ga wire. A 14 ga would work for short distance ie 30 ft. And I’... | |
| I finally purchased a new Integrated Amp I wish you all the best, even though Luxman makes me cringe after my experience with it in the mid-late 80’s. I hope it is all you want it to be. Congrats BTW @aberyclark I looked at an amp at Hudson HiFi and may call them about re storing my HK7... | |
| Tube or Amp Problem? Please help. Given that I can set the bias for each tube individually is it still important that I replace both on the side that this occurs...I still plan on doing this but just more for my own education. Russ has given you the correct answer. And as other... | |
| Best Phono Stage Zesto & Allnic seem to be 2 of the newer players which have garnered praise in this market. The Tavish is a class B recommended component so you can make what you will of that. The Sutherland Little Loco may also be something to look into. | |
| JJ Vacuum Tubes In Stock Antique Electronic Supply also has JJ’s & Psvane.. I’m trying the JJ KT88 now. Only an hour on them so far. |
