| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier The only integrated tube amp is the Magnet product. Why you say, transformers that is why. End of story. | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax Jorma period. | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid you best option is to buy a used Counterpoint SA-2000 or SA-3000. Why you may ask? They sound pretty good stock, are not expensive and can be upgraded to reference levels. | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 if you are in New Jersey I can take a look | |
| Amp showing its age? we repair/upgrade/modify audio components all day long! | |
| Amp showing its age? Yes parts especially capacitors in the power supply section can go bad and need replacement. Good news, there are probably better supply caps now and they will improve the sound of your equipment. | |
| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment @latton64 - now go out and get the wood body installed on the Denon and you'll be done for ever. | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge I think the model is Denon 103 but you need to have the wood body installed beats the pants off of anything recomme3nded above modeled after the Gold Bug. | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Hands sown the old Cary I believe 306 model SS not tube OK sounding until you get it modified and then look out - WOW better than most separate DACs, etc. I will blow your mind. Happy Listening. | |
| Issue with Audio Research 5SE Preamp If it is not the tube, then a capacitor possibly going bad. | |
| Speaker candidates/suggestions Hands down Revival Audio - Atalante 5 Speakers $5K and don't look back. | |
| Solid State Power Amps Best SS amps I heard, used and would recommend: 1) FM Acoustics 2) Harmon Kardon XX 3) HK Citation 16 modified 4) Spectrum (Spectral) what ever the spelling is - modified Happy Listening. | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? They both offer different sound quality and sound characteristics. | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? Some of the statements about the sound of each amp mentioned above my post are generally true. This is the best advice I have read. Pick up an ARC D-79A or D-79B. Even used, a lot of people think it was the very best amp ARC ever produced. BUT... | |
| What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12? Better sound quality? Simple send it to be upgraded. That solves that problem. |
