| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Kiddman, Tubes108 was referring to a set of MA-1s. I have made plenty of mistakes in my career and I try to be the first to admit that. However I still have troubles with Tubes108's testimony. Again, we would not have built a pair of amps wherein ... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? As far as I can figure, he's making it up, its certainly not anything in warranty. Per my Atmasphere equipment. I was young and naive, assumed there was a common goal to make those purchased-new products work properly. After more than a yr of eff... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? I think I am sticking with my original assessment on this one. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? It seems that the issues that Tubes108 is talking about did not occur. I say that because I've not heard of this event and this company is too small for something like this to slip by me. I take issues with a number of comments in the post- for ex... | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? Its also nice sounding equipment and if properly refurbished does as good as many new pieces. Unless you really don't want the equipment its definitely worth fixing. Just make sure you have it done by someone that does good work otherwise the valu... | |

| High efficiency speakers Not sure about your price point but you should add Daedalus to your list. I heard the new Muse at CAF this weekend and it was exceptional. He has a number of other medium sized floor standers that are worth a look, including the Athena. All are ve... | |
| Blown tube amp Sophia electric 91-01 need advise Sounds like the power tube arced and was able to damage a component, possibly the hum balanced control itself.This should not be a big deal. The circuit is simple. | |

| Valve amplifiers The world of tube amplifiers is vast. There are certainly many other amps that are worthy of a listen!Much depends on your loudspeakers. What kind are they? What is their impedance? How efficient are they? How large is your room? How lively is it?... | |
| Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change? Peter has it right- in no way has anyone suggested that the tone arm be rewired! | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Realremo, now that you have sorted out that phase was a problem, it is worth it to play with the speaker placement again to get better results. If you were doing that with one speaker out of phase, the speakers will not be placed correctly. Have f... | |
