| IMHO, not enough gain in my Phono stage how much do you want to spend? There are some phono pres with adjustable gain that can neutralize the problem you have though it may not be optimal for sound quality vs turning your volume up on your line stage.I like the Jolida JD9A which can be ... | |
| Keeping Hifi Equipment For Sentimental Values I still have the first, and second pair of speakers I ever purchased. The first pair are vintage 1965 Warefdales that sounded awful, but the cabinets are very nice, and solid . They weren't worth anything so I kept them. Eventually I used the cabi... | |
| What is LFE on sub connections LFE is "Low Frequency Effects" which has to do with non-musical low frequency like earthquakes, thunder, etc. I believe the way you have it set up, both music related and Effects related low frequency will be delivered.Depending on your speakers y... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps not mentioned above - Jane Relf of the original Rennaisance, and later Illusion.Of the above I relly like - Eva Cassidy, Karla Bonoff,Allison Kraus, Margot Timmins. I'm sure I'm missing one or 2. | |
| Exposure Super XV 15 I'm not familiar with that model, but I had an Exposure preamp a few years ago and for the money it was great (I had to spend 2x to get a marginal improvement/upgrade). My expectaion is it would be a cut above the NAD. Exposure has a solid reputat... | |
| Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone? My experience is that passive biamping does produce an improvement, but it is not huge relative to the cost of buying another amp. I've had similar experience. I've tried many amp combinations on 2 separate systems and found one case where biampi... | |

| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio Unless your main speakers are capable of faithful ~20hz reproduction, yes a sub will help. In my experience imaging, and overall accuracy improves no matter the size of the room. A good sub can be tuned to fit, though selecting the sub with the ro... | |
| Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard - I agree it's not much like DCD . . . I would add this release is pure, unmistakable Klaus Schulze - with Lisa Gerrard vocals on the side (or vice-versa?) so if you like either on of those you're likely to appreciate this. | |
| Need help picking a preamp. There's a TAD 150 signature posted here for $700 - which is a good price on a great tube preamp. I don't know the seller, but own one myself. | |
| Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard? I agree - Eagle 4, or Eagle 2C' (same amp, different face plate) I have both. | |
