| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding Get a Rel sub. I have 2 setups - one room with Monitors and sub, the other with full range floorstanders. They are very different in character which is owed to much more than the monitor vs full range difference, but both setups are great. You alr... | |
| Tube rolling in TAD 150 and Jolida 100cd this just my limited experience, but I was running Amperex Bugelboy 12AT7s in my TAD 150 sig since I bought it a few years ago. They were quite good, but recently one of them went microphonic, so I swapped them out today for some Mullard 6201's (w... | |
| Two Channel Amp or 5 Channel Biamp I'm not familiar with either of these amps but have toyed with passive biamping as you're contemplating quite a bit. It rarely provides improvement. You should go with the better amp (channel for channel), which I assume is the Threshold. It's ver... | |

| Audioquest PT6 or mod'd RB250? I've had 2 PT-6's, and 2 RB300's - one RB300 was rewired with the structural mod (aka heavy weight) and a VTA nut. I had them at the same time and preferred the PT-6. I'm running a Clearaudio arm on one table now, and a Roksan on another and both ... | |

| B&K 200.5 S2 Power Amp problem - Please help If you run a dedicated outlet of 20A breaker and outlet to an Amp that has a 15A fuse, I`m quite sure you will blow the main fuse on the amp due to allowing 20A come through a 15A fuse. . . . very funny. | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I leave my primary systems on 24/7 (3 of them in rooms I use each day), except for the tube components (preamps). I have several "auxiliary" systems in rooms that don't get much use, and those systems are off except when I'm in the room. | |
| Favorite Bert Jansch solo CD I have Crimson Moon on CD, and Rosemary Lane on vinyl. Both are excellent. If you like the Pentangle, you'll like them, no question. | |
| Adcom GFA-565's or Eagle 400 mono blocks as I said . . . you won't find anything that touches them. | |
| Adcom GFA-565's or Eagle 400 mono blocks not sure what you did pay or will need to pay for them, but assuming it's in the ballpark of what I've seen them listed for lately, doubt you'll find something better for less than twice the price. | |
| Adcom GFA-565's or Eagle 400 mono blocks I'm not familiar with the Adcoms, but have a lot of experience with the Eagles - though not the 400's. I'll be interested to hear if anyone has actually compared the 565 and the 400. I have an Eagle 2C', a 2C, and 2 Eagle 4's. You rarely see Eagle... | |
| B&K 200.5 S2 Power Amp problem - Please help since you have power you definitely don't need to worry about the main fuse (15 amp), and likewise you have some sound so you don't have to worry about the speaker fuse) The Rail fuse is a 6 amp Slow Blow with 250 volt rating (6A SB/250V)Here's th... | |
| B&K 200.5 S2 Power Amp problem - Please help I found a document I previously received from B&K showing the fuses used on each of their amps. Below are the spec's for the Ref 200.5: Reference 200.5Main(Line) - 15A SB/250VRail (internal) - 6A SB/250V Speaker - 6A SB/250V. | |
| B&K 200.5 S2 Power Amp problem - Please help can you elaborate on your statement - "all 5 channels, has had low output"? do they all have low output at the same time? Is it intermittent? Have they ever produced strong output?There are a couple of things that could be simple to fix. 1) are th... |
