| Advice/Warnings for a newbie Especially if you reside in a major urban power grid, there is no question as to the poor quality of the A.C. cumming into your residence. All manner of noise elements riding the AC "wave". Unless you have very expensive and sophisticated equipmen... | |
| Integrated Amp $1200 or less Had enough opinions ? Obviously, there are many good possibilities. The FRITZ speakers may perform well with tube amps but I wouldn't rule out solid state. Now here's something for thought. In as much as it's doubtful that you have access to a dea... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ I have found that all HARBETH models love great tube amps. Overall they are at their best reproducing classical, jazz and vocal recordings. I eventually ended up with PRIMA LUNA INTEGRATED "HP". But the real magic came to pass when I switched to a... | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) So, did you get enough opinions? You are probably more confused than when you started. The reality of the situation you describe really has no good answer. What is the environment - - -? What volume do you expect to play them at. 3' is really "nea... | |
| Set-up with two subs and an integrated amp Your first response from "mattmiller" is a good one. First off I have several REL subs and they all have no peer in their price / performance category. Actually a pair of the entry level subs will do an amazing job when carefully set up. "Speaker ... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. Opinions are like A _ _ H _ _ _ _ ! Everybody has one. I have no idea what part of the country you reside. If per chance you are reasonably close to a quality audio dealer that carries several brands of integrated amps, in the price range mentio... | |

| Looking for amp reccomendation Difficult issue ! Most true Class A amps are low power. Less than 50 W. The High power Class A amps are also very high priced. Even a previously owned one. Then there is the issue of tubes vs. solid state or even a hybrid. I'm not clear on what y... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? I'd go with Pass. Pass amps are recognized by MAGNEPAN, as the "go to electronics, when it comes to driving "MAGGIES" . Superlative in every respect. You might also consider PASS monoblocks and pre-amp if your budget can stand it. I am confident y... | |
| I need a good looking and good sounding speaker .... Isn't it amazing that 20 people have 20 different opinions. Goes to prove that loudspeaker choice is in the "eye of the beholder", or should I say ,EAR !!So I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents into this cesspool of ideas and recommend MAGNEPAN. They ... | |
| Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room Get a small and inexpensive space heater and a thermometer to measure the surrounding temperature. After a bit of adjustment you should be able to elevate the temperature around the turntable. Let things warm up a bit before using the turntable. A... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars I think that WILSON AUDIO has "lost their marbles". For 3/4 of a million I could hire the CSO to play some private concerts, and come away more satisfied. My impression; - - - these speakers are "rich boy's toys". I doubt if you would find more th... | |
| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. Maybe you can use a distributor cap as a distribution network !!! | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers Four REL'S ? - - - MUST BE A BASS FREAK ! Don't know what your taste in music is but the Magnepan LRS, .7 , or 1.7i are incredible. Another huge step toward live reproduction. With even 2 properly matched and balanced REL's, it would be worth mo... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Check the website of "TODD THE VINYL JUNKIE" Claims to have a cleaner that will do what other cleaners don't Only other thing needed is a good record vacuum system after his chemicals have had time to do their work. I haven't tried it yet but he h... |
