| What area or country do you live in ? Houston, Delaware living in a Futuro house since 1977 and this is where I will stay till the day I die.I have had many sound systems and home theater for watching opera.I finally settled for Magnepan speakers driven by 833-A triodes (It takes thes... | |
| Will a MC phono preamp overload and distort with a higher output MC cartridge? Thank you. I am going to try the phono preamp. | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. If I had not fallen in live with the 833-A SET and Magnepan speakers I would want to try this design. The NSMT is a very attractive looking speaker, not only at modest price but ideal for inexpensive to build yourself small SET amps. They draw les... | |
| Center Channel with Magnepan .7: Magnepan mmg-c vs Kilpsch I think I will go with Magnepan for the center channel. Thank you. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater If you liked Magnepan, the older Magnepan speakers were constructed with wires cemented to the Mylar film and the cement breaks down over the years causing them to buzz. While it is possible to re-cement the wires, the newer Magnepans changed from... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming Just for the hell of it I looked up the prices of downloads and is it just my imagination or are some downloads just as expensive as buying a CD? Music servers are so expensive and a clocking buffer in a good DAC should eliminate any difference in... | |
| Trying Magnepans, need advice I am about to take delivery on a pair of Magnepan 0.7s. I had been using SETs with the 45 which is not powerful enough for their 86 db sensitivity so I rebuilt my amplifiers to let the 45s drive the grids, through an innerstage step-down transform... | |
| Tube-amp for Magnepan? I am considering connecting a pair of MMGi's to the 4 Ohm outputs of a pair of Hammond 1642SE output transformers wired up with the 833-A radio station triode running on only 1000 Volts. Using older speakers this draws 120 ma plate current. Steve ... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? While I don't leave my entire system on all the time, I use 833-A single ended triodes to run the bass in a tri-wired speaker system, the cathode heater on an 833-A runs at 10 amps and 10 Volts and it will not let you get away with anything but t... | |
| What do you think is the best make volume control ?? ALPS NOBLE ???? When I built my integrated amplifier - a preamplifier and amplifier in the same chassis so that there would only be an inch or two of Kimber silver wire between stages, while the power supplies for the preamp and amp still have their own power sup... | |
| McIntosh MR7083 vs. Magnum Dynalab MD100 tuner I have had a MR7082 since it was new back in the 1980's. It struggles with the very weak distant stations that are low output as I suspect any tuner would. I appreciate the information that I should probably stay with this tuner. ( I use it with a... |
