| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna Thank you everyone for the thoughtful comments, suggestions, advice.. I do completely enjoy my current set up, and I am feeling the additional 240 may not be the best use for my dollars. Perhaps I can split what I’ve saved and upgrade elsewhere. ... | |
| Do you ever miss vintage gear you no longer have? Two for me. TDL Studio 0.5's. Transmission Line designed cab, warm, nice presence for a small floor stander. A bit difficult to set up.Threshold 400A. Heated the room, but had such power and separation, clean yet warm sounding. I will likely make ... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Sleep | |
| Cornwall IV and subwoofers For me, and again for me... I have Heresy IV's with an SVS PB2000 pro. It's everything I need. The Heresy's with my Mac 240 are a sweet combination. The SVS gives every recording an easy weight and presence. I really like the SVS mobile app and pr... | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL I quite like my Ultra Deck. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming A bit of what keeferdog referenced. I've rolled several matched quads through my MAC 240, Svetlana, Sovtek etc.. they weren't even close to the Tung Sol 6l6GC reissues i have now. Even better than a mismatched quad of RCA's (questionable vintage). | |
| Walk down memory lane Thank you Jim!I have a graying Lab as well. Love your set up, multiple speaker options to boot!Your 240 is sweet and clean, great hot rodding too. Mine had some minor repairs and refresh a year ago, plus new tubes. It may have more dents and patin... | |
| SVS SB-2000 Pro/3000 vs. REL T/7x Love my PB 2000 pro. Have a couple pre-sets, one for jazz the other for rock. For my purposes it performs flawlessly and folds into my overall system quite nicely. The ability to tune it on the fly from the comfort of my chair depending on my mood... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS jayctoyThe way it was explained to me is that any amp can be pushed to clip, or into distortion. No matter how powerful the amp, or the capacity the speakers. Many variables to the music, current coming from the amps and a drivers resistance inter... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Two of my old favorites.Original Cyrus One, 25W, gave it to my brother with my old pair of rogers, he destroyed them both.Ariston Amp late 80's cool. 30W. Still have it and it still sings. (with the right speakers). | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS I miss the days when I could go to a good hifi shop and spend an hour or two discerning between a couple speaker options before I throw down my hard earned scratch. Sigh... | |
| Thank you Covid19 for getting me back into this expensive hobby! My Lockdown expenses include:MoFi Ultra Deck TTKlipsch Heresy IV'sRolled tubes on my Mac 240 twice30 or more new albumsreplaced soft top on convertible all new SS exhaust for convertibleExpensive pandemic indeed | |
| Sota or Technics Well to throw a wrench in my original post, I ended up going with neither. I had the opportunity to borrow a friend's MoFi Ultra deck and ended up loving it! so that's what I brought into my cave. I am more than pleased with it. Super solid build ... | |
| Which subwoofer? I'm a huge fan of my SVS PB2000. I've owned Velodyne and Monitor Audio subs. This SVS is in another league. House shaking low end, great control and presence. I enjoy the ability to use the phone app to really dial it in. For me it would be a no-b... | |
| TDL Compact Monitors Thanks guys, I'm backing away from the abyss. I've let go of several pieces I wish i hadn't. Gave away a nice bookshelf system to my brother, Mission Cyrus one amp with Rogers LS4 speakers. A Threshold 400A amp, an early Cary Hybrid amp 2300A, my... |
