| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions Class A ? Pass Labs without a doubt. Nothing will come close unless you go to ridiculously sized (and priced) amps like Boulder or Dagostino. | |
| Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money Any new or used SME 3009 (NON IMPROVED version) arm. They should be anywhere from $300 - $1000 approximately. I bought a brand new 3009R for my Linn Sondek and I am extremely happy with it ($1400 at ebay). | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! heaudio123Dont waste your breath here too much. Too many know it alls but very few real engineers. Cheers!! | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? You need tone controls as you age and your hearing is no longer as good as when you were 12 years old. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! How much power do you need from the mains to justify a 20 amp circuit ? That would be equivalent to approximately 2200 Watts. Will you have that much power consumption ?Unless you are coming VERY close to that number above, you will NOT hear any d... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? atmasphere," We are one of the very few manufacturers that make more powerful amps that actually **do** sound better than our smaller ones"So, it is indeed possible to do so. Pass Labs is another definite manufacturer in this regard.So, at least... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Why is everyone assuming that the make, quality and characteristics of an amplifier are changing when going to higher power ? The question asked, did not imply that.Given everything else being equal, there is no argument except maybe just the cost... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? I dont still understand the arguments against LOL....ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL (That is the part people seem to be missing) a higher power amplifier will always be preferable. It will run less stressed and have much more headroom.As for the hi... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Check out HSU & Martin Logan subs. At less than $1000, you will get a remarkable sub. | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Sub woofer gives you more flexibility and maybe cheaper. It would be cheaper because you need to increase your amp power by a factor of 2 to 3 to really make a difference in the bass for those B&Ws.. This will almost always cost more.Further... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? You can never have too much power. Full stop.However, do not confuse power with ’loudness’. The latter is measured on a logarithmic scale. That means to get a tone twice as loud, you need 10 times the power (approx). A 100 watt amp is only twice a... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Chose the one which has a better warranty & customer service. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Ah yes, Rippingtons, great band. My favorite is the album "Curves Ahead".... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Please take a chance and listen to one or more of these (past the first few seconds of ads of course) with a GOOD pair of headphones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCopcNpzc60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Tf6gac0TQ https://www.youtube.com... | |
