Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
McCormack DNA 500 if you can find one.  I just sold mine a few weeks ago that used to drive Thiel CS5i's with no problem. BUT, my real message here is that I have shifted to high efficiency speakers with a First watt F7 amp.. Dynamic and alive. ... 
Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems
@celloover, dsper, I spoke with the factory today. Jeff asked that you use the website "contact" and send a message and he will get back to you. Thank you for that! I installed anew set of EH 6550 power tubes today and the amp is still doing the... 
Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems
@cellorover Is it the fuse light that is coming on? No, not the fuses. There is red bias light for each power tube. If the bias is wrong for a tube, the red light will go on. Each power tube has its own light and you are to adjust each tube by ... 
Words of wisdom on choosing a speaker
@ fredapplegate When we forget that this hobby is about music, we go a bit astray.  I personally agree with this comment. Not sure everyone does though.  
worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's?
@audiocanada worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's? I recently decided to go with Forte iv's over Cornwall iv's after a lot of listening sessiuons with McIntosh amplification. For me, I thought the Forte bass seemed tighter and the sp... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
I've worked my way through Magepans and Thiels and am now running Klipsch Forte iv's. Quite a change from power hungry speakers. The Forte's are, to me,  much more dynamic and live sounding with no harshness. Several people have said it. Horns ne... 
DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range
soix Given what you’re looking for I’d take a serious look at a Mojo Mystique DAC. +1!  
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
Mojo Mystique 3. Excellent DAC in my opinion. I had one and traded to move up their line.   
Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
I had a Prologue Premium Preamp that I upgraded to a Dialogue Premium Preamp. I thought I could listen further into the music with the Prologue.  For me, I got tired of the PL house sound and sold it. Kept my CJ 17LS2 and am currently using a Don... 
Which device to use as the pre-amp
Do have a little fun. Maybe there is an audio store around with used equipment that they might let you take home to demo? Never know what you might learn about what you like...  
Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.
artamus_5 Do you want everyone dead who disagrees with you? Yer a child with a child’s brain. Fellows I'll leave you to your unhappy selves, If I hang around you guys will go into convulsions. The reason is The liberal/progressive (Regressive) ...

I cannot resist... @mapman We all know what is good versus evil right? Telling the truth is good. Lying is evil. Spreading lies is among the worst things you can do. Also cheating and degrading or harming others. Not to mention an untamed ego....... 
Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ?
Hi All, Been runing a First Watt F7 for about three weeks now with my Forte iv's. Paired with a Don Sachs DS2 preamp, PS Audio Memory Transport, and Mojo B4B DAC. To my ears, listening at low 70 dbl ten feet from speakers: seems like more detail... 
Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ?
Hi All, I posted this earlier in the thread: "...The Forte's were very harsh with the DNA-500. Really don't really know why, but not a good match...". To set the record staright: I reinserted the DNA-500 amp with my Forte's and was suprised. Th... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
@pryso I like the sound of the Forte iv's except for that high volume treble... I can turn the Thiels way up and never know it - no distortion. With the Forte's, something is just not right. Not sure if it is my amplification or that the Fort...
