| Looking for an integrated amp to replace my Cayin A-50T I have had the pleasure to audition a Vincent SV-500 recently. Lower end of your price range. This does have three tubes in the preamp however--but they will last for many many years. This is a very well thought out integrated where money was w... | |
| What I have found - Makes a good Cable ! @williewonka Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response. I admire all the time and listening you have put into these DIY projects. For me has always made for fascinating reading. Thanks for your contributions and encourage you in future ... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. You would do well to provide more info. Price?? System context? What are you looking for? | |
| What I have found - Makes a good Cable ! @williewonka Steve, your points/suggestions noted above are all very good and "sound" advice. I have found your Helix thread very interesting indeed--especially the IC section. There is just one issue that drives me nuts. So we go to great leng... | |
| Anyone have a Marantz PM KI Ruby Integrated? The Ruby is a fine amp to be certain. It has few shortcomings. I find it quite liquid, smooth, while still detailed. The soundstage is very good in all dimensions. The power into low impedance speakers is ridiculously high. So you will not be... | |
| First CD player help! I would second Marantz and would consider a low mileage used player if you wanted to move up their entry line a bit. | |
| Dipole speakers, subwoofers and that rear wall For clarity, do you mean the front wall??? Think of it like this. When you go to a performance, are the performers in front of you or in back? Dipoles are unique and enjoyable speakers. As noted above, embrace and don't destroy the rear wave... | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed but I have four systems. --one in my dedicated listening room --one in my lower level living area --one in the upstairs living area which also serves as 2 channel "home theater" --a fourth option f... | |
| recommended oil for well tempered spindle cup Liquid Bearings is the exact oil I used on my Project table. A pure, light weight, full synthetic oil is the way to go. You don't need all the additives that a high temp combustion engine requires. And you don't want a natural oil that will oxid... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? Like most everything, there is always give and take. There are so many parameters to consider. So blanket statements rarely hold water. I very much enjoyed Magneplaners in years past and still do. But I enjoy a non-planer speaker more. | |
| Corrosion I would love to hear what the manufacturer has to say on this. High purity copper, even when exposed in the average climate controlled home, should not suffer the fate you are describing. Either the quality of the copper is in question or there ... | |
| New construction ceiling advise This present many interesting possibilities. I might envision dropped diffusers that might not only be acoustically effective and also visually stunning if done right. You also reserve the option of a bass trap hidden above the diffusers. | |

| New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120? Agree with the above comments, especially in terms of the priority/order in which things ought to be done. Go ahead and replace that old power cord--but do the other stuff first. Could be a very satisfying project! | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. @grislybutter Night after night I watch the news on the war. And night after night I feel guilty. You are right--many of us, for now, live our middle class lives and are for the most part insulated from the atrocities that you and the Ukrainia... |
