| Luxman SQ N100 fuse Try the importer. He will know better than anyone.http://www.onahighernote.com/luxman/ | |
| Tube Options with Verity Tamino Not much. | |
| Must Hear Speakers in $10K range Avalon, Verity, Vandersteen, Rockport, Magico are my rec's to look at. Rockport's are awesome, not well known, and once in a while have a low end model come up under 10k. | |
| Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI? String, sorry been out fishing on a few canyon trips. Agreed that the Mac's I've heard have been less focused and more rounded. Beautiful though but I prefer a slightly warmer speaker and the amp to be more neutral. I think many that go for McInto... | |
| Noice from fan in Audio Research VT 100 MK III Fans are easy to remove and clean or replace. I've done it with ARC amps and with my composting toilet fan several times.Did you try to vacuum it or clean it with a Q-tip for dust binding up the blades? | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Devore Super 8 is a nicely made speaker. My wife liked the looks of those over most I've owned. Thankfully she understands that I enjoy this hobby and doesn't try to control my decisions. | |
| Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's? I've yet to hear a B&W sound better than a Vandersteen but that is my taste. Why these two? If I were you I would list all of your preferences and priorities in a speaker and have the this vast vault of vernacular but sometimes venomous victim... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? Mastersound is top notch. Very underrated OR unknown, however the el34 for sale has gone for as low as $1500. Good used deal at maybe $1800. Haven't heard any below the 300 B or monos but I don't think they would dumb down any model. | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore Well, we're waiting!Judge SmailsCaddyshack | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? FWIW the guy I bought my Joule pre from was buying Thor gear for his Merlins. Are you looking to spend 4k because you keep asking about $1200 integrateds? | |
| Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI? Stringreen please do elaborate on the Mac gear compared to the Ayre. I've found Ayre to be a little more focused and clear while retaining the musicality if that makes sense. FWIW I haven't heard Mac beyond the 352 and similar pre.I listened to Ma... | |
| McIntosh MA6300 I sold my 6300 for $2150 almost new. It bought it sealed and the woman claimed it was won in an auction. More likely her boyfriend worked at a dealer and it fell off the back of the truck. I would also look at the Ayre integrated. I liked it bette... | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... I wouldn't even spray a Wilson with cat urine. | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Your cables cost more than you speakers. Might want to re-prioritize try each cable again. Glad it works with the Vienna. | |
| Good CD for testing bass response Fionna Apple, Beth Orton. |
