| Is this amp good for my setup? Leon - understand that you're on budget, but seriously IMO, Vandersteens really deserve something better than B&K. Hopefully others may suggest a reasonable alternative pre. How about a beautiflly eye-catching classic Luxman C5000A - I know of... | |
| Tube Pre-amp w/Remote under 600???? Try to locate a Golden Tube SEP-2 or SEP-3. Nice quiet pre & phono option was available for these. Hard to find & Solo Electronics/GTA is gone, but you can still get service from various tube shops still around. They are multi-featured, st... | |
| How does the Phase Linear 400 compare? MidFi, noisy, & not too reliable in my experience - but the guy that I sold it to 20 years ago still uses it; with periodic board contact cleanings it keeps running somehow. I liked the autocorrelator & dynamic expander enough that I picke... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em he too reminds me of Carl Eberhart, & like Unsound, I really do miss the guy. Certainly Carl was/is controversial but he sure knew what he was talking about, unlike the above-mentioned clueless blowhard uncle-naysayer. | |

| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Sean the expert is right here: contact Joe Abrams the MIT rep. (membername = joeabrams). Joe is a straight\up dude who will advise you within the context of your intended application or desire to experiment. He will talk with anyone via phone or e... | |
| Potential problem with sale. Compatibility issues can be sticky at times. I bought a piece from someone that worked in his rig but hummed like crazy in mine. I played around with the usual tweaks but to no avail. I told him about the problems & he offered a full refund in... | |
| Checking the quality of your AC Lockups &/or strange things happening are definitely a sign that line transients are occasionally present. Unless you want to lease a Dranetz line monitor analyzer for a week to 30 days, just buy a basic used line conditioner right here & ... | |
| tapestries and posters help with sound absorption? Experimentation is always the rule. Unless the room is very live acoustically you can easily overdo it, so proceed judiciously. Begin with a large thick floor rug centered around the listening area; may not want to cover the entire floor. Wood flo... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em well said MaxThat fool is doing some such as Bundy & other newbies a great disservice with his so-called technical explanations, regarding the reasons why we (those of us who DO understand & like what we are hearing) just cannot possibly b... | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions Zaik correct: the PS Audio is not biased class A at all; its digital PWM output is, if anything, biased toward class C (which is actually not biased at all, but at cutoff).In the class A catagory - I love my Accuphase; my Ayre amp isn't half bad e... | |

| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em The common misnomer that networked cables (MIT - Transparent) are filtered - is incorrect. The networks are paralleled across the conductors, not in series. Their purposes are (1) group delay compensation, as mentioned above and (2) to help absorb... | |
| What is vibration isolation for? Crp raises some very legitimate issues; I'll share my experiences in that regard. My floors are concrete & outer walls are cinderblock - very "dead" stuff indeed. Previously when I used a soft / flexible base under the speakers, there was enha... |
