| More Sources than Inputs I would advocate for something more practical such as the purist switch box by 47 Labs as well as another model by Luxman. The only drawback of the 47 Labs unit is that it is costly...along the lines of at least $600, but the Luxman is relatively ... | |
| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No Ramses, what is your system like? Components. I am aware that many passives have issue driving certain components. How do you find the volume it controls or produces? | |
| To Hot to Handle? The nature of tubes will set you in a collision path with your heat issue. Even my 300B tubed amp which produces a mighty 9 watts per channel feels hot. A 75 watts, all tube, you can just imagine! I also live in the NorthEast but have an AC. | |
| Integrated Amp and Speakers for a teenager? Creek 4330 MKII might be the better option, for it might have solved the discharging sound issue that was particular to it and to other integrateds, such as the Audio Refinement. The MKII might be slightly higher, but along with the 4330 and a pai... | |
| Comments on Magnum Dynalab MD-208 receiver I thought that Proacs are not that current demanding. nevertheless, I believe that it would be a downgrade to go from the Concerta to the Magnum receiver. For what I remember from reviews, the Magnum garnered diverging opinions from different revi... | |
| Best SET amp with Coincident Total Victory? 845 tube based amp, it seems to me that the latest Art Audio Carissa amp, which produces just 16 or was it 12 watts, pure class A, instead of the common 40-45 watts, might be a match made in heaven, not to say anything about the price....less than... | |

| Musical Fidelity X150 Integrated Amp Check the latest Stereophile. They have a review of it. Take all comments with reservations, for it seems to me that Stereophile's secret financial backer is MF itself....there is no other explanation for the incredible coverage and their number i... | |
| Any Gershman speaker owners I have owned the X-1 monitors along with the Sw-1 subwoofer pedestals since around 2000. I had to import both and for what I have heard from other speakers, they sound a little bit warm, great with jazz. The monitor themselves have great low end e... | |
| cones under your tube amps?? Once I had a trio of the Racing cones, under a SS amp, I think the set was to make the sound more tubey like. For sure, they did gave me a slamm that I have not since experienced in any other set up. In your case, the Racing Cones to stiffen up th... | |
| Counterpoint SA-5000 or First Sound Presence Pre There is no need to attack people for taking different sides of an issue. I am sure that there are many owners of Counterpoint products that have nothing but satisfying relationships with the gear, and also there might be many who think otherwise,... | |
| Which amp to drive Totem Signiture ones? Choose the everpresent Signature 1 MKII for your needs, and if you are a little tight in budget, go for the ROKK or the MITE, instead of the slimmer Arrow. Have you noticed that this thread is about 2 years old? | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Eldartford, thanks for the clarification. | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Dazzdax, maybe I have an explanation about the crossover of the Sonus being simple, and yet, why of their consuming such a large amounts of current? Last year, I was experimenting with an old Pioneer receiver from the 70s I have picked up from the... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers For all the years of audio mania, it seems to me that the component that consumes most of those precious watts are some overbuilt or heavily built crossovers, as well as the type of drivers used for the design of the speakers. Some rather large or... |
