| S/N ratio vs. dishes and stupid cats. Why would anyone want a creature that leaves crap everywhere and uncontrollably produces loud sharp noises? That's why I never wanted children! | |
| tube integrated for Vandersteen 2's This is probably not the advice you want to hear, but if you have 2K to invest I would move out the Vandersteens which are unsuitable for a room this small rather than invest the money on an amp specific for them. They are classic speakers but nee... | |
| What is the best sounding QSC power amp They make some good stuff but the more money they are the more likely a consumer power amp will be best. Big factor is fan noise. I did a little research and would probably go for the RMX 2450 or RMX 1850 HD if I went QSC but I would want to hear ... | |
| System Hum Question Have you tried swapping out the interconnects for some with better shielding? Checked you electrical outlets for proper grounding?Tried swapping out your preamp/power amp power cords?Try hooking up a CD player direct to power amp and check for hum? | |

Or the heat sinks were from d... | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? I have found that my system when using some passives is more succeptible to noise (ie. RFI, grounding issues, etc). | |
| Does a tube preamp warm up sound of SS amp? I think that is a popular config because the preamp tubes don't need biasing and the tubes last longer. I like leaving as much stuff on all the time (except in summer w/thunderstorms) so I would be more inclined to want to turn off a tube power am... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? Freediver,If you want predictable expenses, a used Bryston (with what is left on their 20 year warranty) would be worth considering if you can find one you like. | |
| Two things about tubes Don't be afraid to name names guys. It's nice your amps are quiet but how can we find a quiet one unless we know which ones they are? | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? You have to be constantly watching the ads to get the best deals before someone else does. Yesterday (but not on Audiogon)I saw an Adcom Tuner/Pre, Adcom 545 power, Sony CD, a cassette deck, Celestion SL6S speakers with stands all for $250 total. ... |
