Has anyone have experience connecting REL subs to Mola Mola Perca amps, class D Call REL. If the negative terminal is carrying a signal don't let that ground wire anywhere near it. | |
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? I have quite a collection of KT88s. For my system the KR KT88 sounds best. Mainly the tone and balance top to bottom being accurate. | |
Record cleaning and realistic expectations Getting back into stereo in 2014 and found an unopened copy of "Crime" from 1985. yes, it really pops. | |
Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used You may want to look up the Quicksilver Mid Mono amps. Plenty of power and use any of a number of output tubes. Sweet sounding. Was looking used and none available. Noticed on HiFi Shark they last about 3-4 days. New less than 2K. | |

Tube or solid state phono stage? Lots of really good recommendations and best of luck. Got to hand it to posters on this site, they really helped when I got started. Have an Allnic 7000 H and must say their phonos are generally the best in their lineup. I must say though, BAT upp... | |
Experience purchasing a used high-end cartridge Unless you're very lucky all in all you won't get more value than you pay for. I started in this hobby trying to get some great carts used and had limited success. Then moving up the line got hurt on a couple. One in particular- Airtight Supreme, ... | |
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Heard that Knopfler insisted his recordings had quality recording/production. Thanks Mark. Discussing some or many recordings where we like the music but the recording is so-so, personally think many artists compromise their careers by not doing e... | |
Diving into balanced Balanced IMO is considerably better in my system. Granted I have a long run preamp to amps. Consider this: if balanced isn’t necessarily better why do companies provide the option knowing the unit will be more costly than single ended? Just anothe... | |
Absorption behind components and speakers rationale? Absorption behind speakers can reduce bass cancellation. As you move the speakers out into the room a different bass frequency is affected. The bass traps reduce this cancellation. | |
That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I was wondering if anyone shared a similar experience as I also recently introduced a BAT preamp, having located a used Rex 2 and going balanced throughout with all cabling. Really can't get over the immersive and nuanced musical experience. So mu... | |
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp There's a Supratek Chardonnay on Hifi Shark that will help in this regard, Ran one for 5 years before switching to a balanced system. Still have mine but keeping it in reserve for a second system someday. Made in Australia but good service here in... | |
Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? As to the question from the OP I would, actually did recently. Reading on WBF it seems the best digital streaming Wadix will run you up to 140 K and according to ML it can get you almost as good as your analog. Having pretty much all the music I... | |
What is your front end ? Enjoy TT, CD and streaming (newly acquired), like them all but the only one that reaches the subline is the TT. | |
Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Alabama 3- Exile on Cold Harbor Lane Not sure there is anything else like this. Jumps out of your speakers. You should remember the third track from the Sopranos. |
