| Speakers for 3K how come no PSB Sync ones mentinoed here? Around $3K here from time to time. Lots of threads indicate them as very good units.how about Monitors? | |
| Old fart needs help with speakers and power req's 246810 25 - 35 years on those speakers?Routine changes aren't your bag apparently. Good for you. Stan's notes are right on. Figure out what sound you want and proceed prudently along those lines.With a record player as source, I'd say tubes somewh... | |
| Entry level CDP Garn509 Those are some mighty ponderous and indefinite questions. Doubtful anyone can fully give a for sure answer given the way you prefaced them.Which is better? Which one will last for years going forward?Beats me. Ill say Regga . For no real ... | |

| Aftermarket power cable for power conditioner? Another rant From your local on & On member .on the futility of perfectly optimizing system components with cabling . Yet the reason to at least try.The only note Id add here is about the trying aspect of cabling. Power cords or Ics . Or ... | |
| Aftermarket power cable for power conditioner? I've found so far that the 'feed' cable to the cond is as valuable and or integral as is any other... sometimes more so, as it sets a broader table given more items are then downstream of it's influence, as in a power filter/cond.conponents using ... | |

| Your definition of soundstage Bjesien Good thoughts on the various speakers you heard on the same gear.I wish more input on that factor were added to our posts when we attempt to gain some inkling of a thing's voice we likely aren't going to be able to audition.... not that th... | |
| Your definition of soundstage Rrog Agreed.This is interesting on a couple of levels.Not knowing any better Id define a Sound stage as whatever sonic information is being depicted or displayed immediately about the loudspeakers, by the contributing audio system.How dimensiona... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Jtimothya I don't think so. Well, not entirely.The EL 34s used in the thor monos are current production tubes. No Mullards, Brymars, etc. JJs? EHs?That's the thing on those particular amps. None of the other Thor mono amps sounded anything like ... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Spring...RE wpcNo. simply more vol. for my room + speakers.If the later PA 30s (mk ii) are alike the MK II line stage preamp, there going to be a bit faster, quicker.

With their stock tubes they are a luscious set of amps... though I heard them with the Thor TA 1000 preamp too. 30 watts of wonderful. I listened at normal levels in a mid sized room on VR4 JRs. All your accolades apply to these... |
