| Heat from amps? Class A sugden gets pretty hot, however I am not concerned about it altering the temperature of a room. I have not noticed one bit if difference in comfort. You want good sound then you accept a bit of heat, that's class A. | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Get a Tavish classic or vintage tubed preamp, great products from a great USA company. Another very good tubed preamp would be the pro-ject tube box ds2. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? Pure single ended class A for me, thanks.Loving my Sugden | |
| What Makes your System Special? My Tannoys make it special. I love looking at them and listening to them, they speak to me so to speak, lol. What else? My hana el cartridge, tavish tubed phono preamp and the Jensen step up, just a great combination with out mortgaging the house.... | |
| Pure analog system with high power I'd go with harbeth p3esr, seeing as you mentioned harbeths, and a class A sugden a21se integrated. | |
| Magicos! Not my cup of tea, but enjoy none the less! I'd much rather own a beautiful pair of Tannoys. | |
| DL103R- I’m sure it’s been said before… The Jensen mc 2-rr was designed with the denon 103 in mind. $599 and made in USA. The input impedance is 430 ohms, so near perfect. Also, it is a 1/10 ratio with 20db gain, also perfect. Using mine with both the Hana el and the denon 103. These tw... | |
| Are these streams being replaced... node 2i, and PS Get a Grace link internet radio. Excellent streamer for only $179. | |
| Power Cord Wall to Conditioner An audioquest z3 power cord from PC to wall should suffice. I use one on my Niagara 1200. I use the AQ thunder from amp to PC. | |
| Speakers most critical component, , now what fq's are most critical in speakers Do yourself a favor and go listen to some Tannoys. I think that once you do, you will be hooked. That dual concentric driver is a beauty. I got the Eaton legacy and they are all I will ever need. | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB Blew the foam surrounds off my old Jensen system 400’s playing the 1812 at a 4th of July cook out. Sounded pretty good, but the speakers were destroyed. That was using the Telarc cd. I also own a CBS masterworks and Mercury living presence lp of t... | |
| Where is the weakest link? What is it that you are trying to improve upon? You do not indicate what your perceived area of weakness is...what is it that you are hearing or not hearing? That may help point in the right direction. Just remember, there is nothing that is perfe... | |
| Matching components? No...you should be more concerned with matching the right amp to the right speakers. The rest of it falls into place, meaning the source components of any manufacturer of your choice depending on your taste. | |
| Can’t use any other tube??!!? Go and buy a GE jan 12au7....upscale sells them. They are military grade and one of the quietest 12au7’s available. I must say that no matter, when using tubes as opposed to SS transistors, you will have more noise. It is unavoidable. That noise i... | |
| listener fatigue? go analogue. The OP is stating fact...analog is the best and Least fatiguing medium. Digital will never sound like this....never. yes, I own cd's, however the LP is still king in this house. |
