| Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s? I bought a pair of KG4s for one of my daughters. They sounded very good mated to an old Luxman receiver. They sounded better after I switched her to a Golden Tube Audio SE-40. The sound improved even more significantly after I rebuilt the crossove... | |
| Conrad Johnson ET2 + MC275? Rayooo,Well, my recollection is that they sounded quite a bit different. Both good, but the Classic was a warmer and less detailed. But as I mentioned I did not hear the units side by side, or at the same time and place. | |
| Conrad Johnson ET2 + MC275? Comparing the ET2 and the Classic SE is problematic because they are very different; designed for different purposes. The Classic is just that - a classic "no frills" preamp. No remote. Think of it as an updated PV-10B. The ET2 is a completely dif... | |
| Mating an AR LS3B with a CJ Sonographe sa 400? Great speakers, assuming that you have the right room for them. As much as I like the Sonographe SA-400, IMHO you will need both a better amp and pre to get the most out of the VR4s. They can be tough speakers on electonics - VERY detailed and rev... | |
| Mating an AR LS3B with a CJ Sonographe sa 400? Paul, which speakers are you using? | |
| Any integrated amps with dac and 2 spkr outputs? Jacquesnonod, which HT Electronics? Reno, NV or California? | |
| Mating an AR LS3B with a CJ Sonographe sa 400? I do not believe that you will have a problem pairing most SS preamps with your Sonographe SA-400. I ran an SA-400 with a CJ PF-R SS pre for a while - it worked very well. I have also paired the SA-400 with an Audio Reseach LS-15 tube unit and it ... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Ralph,Thanks for your response. I am seriously considering giving one an M-60 pair a try. In your opinion, do the Zeros (or other auto transformers) change the sound much? | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Ralph, I just might do that. It's a smallish room - I don't imagine that you have a quietized water cooling system perfected yet? | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Here's an interesting tale, at least to me:I have a pair of Apogee Cepheus 6 ribbon hybrid speakers that I recently unpacked from the audio archive (aka the garage). While these speakers are not amp killers like the older Apogee full range planars... | |
| Vintage loudspeakers....Sleeper models.... Klipsch KG-4s. Not the best speaker ever made, but certainly a very good speaker for the money ($150 or less). Even better if you upgrade the crossovers.critespeakers.com. Scroll down to KG-4 | |
| Good speakers for a small room? Kbo,I have a listening room almost exactly the same size (not by my choice), 9.5 x 12.5. There have been many good suggestions above - I used a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1s at first. They worked very well, I just didn't have any bass below 50Hz or... | |
| Black Gate caps Black Gates are good. Not sure if they are worth the price, though. IMHO even the cheapest Taiwanese capacitors made today are much better then the best capacitors that were made 20 years ago. YMMV | |
| what to keep analoge system perfect working? There is lots of information and opinions re: record cleaning fluids. IMHO the claims are largely exaggerated - most of them seem to work fine, more or less.I do not have a problem w/ IPA in the RCM solution; it does seem to help with certain kind... | |
| Manley stingray or Cary sli 80 sig I'm not a huge fan of how the Stingray looks. It's probably because I've seen pictures of EveAnna Manley who reminds me of my buddy Billy's lesbian sister Renie.Wow, I just realized that I've been going about it the wrong way all these years. I've... |
