| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities miostyn I got lost with the subwoofer reference and tube amps. The OP made no reference to that. I've owned several subwoofers, mostly JL and of course all are solid state amplifier driven. To your point of driving subs with tube amps you are ... | |
| Modifying a Merlin Master RC Network Richard at sigsound.com is probably the resident expert having worked with Bobby for years and now, to my understanding, stocking NOS drivers and networks. | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities Manley Labs Mahi Mahi or Snappers with upgraded tubes. Mahi are a bit quicker with EL-84 tubes. Snappers are fuller and more powerful with EL-34 tubes. Tube costs are reasonable for replacement/upgrade and they are quite reliable. | |
| Possible new integrated amp for my new Focal Kanta's +1 stereo5. Trolls anyway, randomly stating nonsensical dribble. Live with them until they are broken in and then consider what to do. Dealer may be absolutely correct or very very wrong. | |
| Where do I start!?! Tough spot. You are emotionally invested and really have no viable real estate to wrestle this monster into. Recommendation would be to sell the mono blocks and the speakers as they overwhelm the space and cannot sonically optimize it.If you lik... | |
| Speaker Spikes and related items.... Ante up for the Isoacoustics Gaia footers. Simply amazing. Several reviews can be found on this forum. | |
| Bookshelf speakers for classical music New, Focal Chorus 706 bookshelf. Not the most refined, but decent enough with front port. Used, small Spendors. Up the ante and some small floor stander Spendors. Used Rega monitor or small floor standers. | |
| Which power cords help ameliorate digital glare/grain/digititus? If you have this thing, then can we not get rid of the thing making the bad thing?The core of problem solving is always correctly identifying the real problem and removing it. Otherwise, a series of bandaids follows in attempts to herd the proble... | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? I rest my case. Mahi Mahi mono blocks are so good. And Manley Labs is correct.....Tubes Rule! Never had a doubt. Now you can play the tube rolling game with Upscale Audio. It is mind blowing how different these amps sound with tube and power ... | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? Several have made accurate observations. However, too much talk about how loud. What about how the Mahi Mahi sound?! I've run them for years and tube rolled them to their pinnacle performance. They've run Merlins, SA, Epos 11, Reference 3A and... | |
| Help with picking new integrated for under 3k Used Sugden A21SE Class A integrated will easily drive what you have. The Duelund speaker wire matches well with this amplifier. Don't let the 30wpc fool you as they are substantial. It is a ballsy amp. And it is very quick which matches well ... | |
| Wondering about using IsoAcoustics under by GoldenEar Triton One speakers You mentioned pucks, but believe you mean the Gaia footers and possibly carpets spikes. Isoacoustics does both.I run the Gaia II with ATC 40 active and the difference from the stock provided spikes is enormous. They provide all of what one looks... | |
| Power conditioners under $1000? Decware ZLC hands down. Eviscerated my Furman Elite 15i which is not bad. Under 1K and Steve Deckert is a great engineer. This did everything right. | |
| Need Advice on Power Protection/Clean Power jay73 That's a great question and the answer is yes. Because, it will in all likelihood not remain an entry level system. The benefits will only progress as the system improves. Besides, don't you want at least spike protection in case somethi... | |
| Need Advice on Power Protection/Clean Power Just gave away my Furman Elite 15i or something like that. It performed well, cleaned up the power and nothing ever bombed my components.Replaced it with the Decware ZLC which eviscerated the Furman. In every aspect of dynamics, noise floor, att... |
