| What volume level should a DAC be set to when feeding your Pre Amp I remember a Paul McGowen (PS Audio) YouTube video where he says (paraphrasing Paul) "Adjust the output of your DAC/CD player so you preamp volume control is in the 12:00 - 3:00 position". He said "In the old days, digital volume controls had prob... | |
| Klipsch Forte IIIs vs. Heresy III with a sub It's kind of hard to get horns to sound "boxy", isn't it? | |
| Charley Pride Saw Mr. Pride in 'Vegas (Texas Station I believe). Very good show and, if you asked him, I doubt he would say he feels "underappreciated". | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp Looks pretty slick! I always let the tech replace/rebias the power tubes so no first-hand experience. $50 will get you a nice multi-meter so you "makes your choice and you takes your chance" but I can’t see why this wouldn’t work. Keep in mind, th... | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp The Classic-60 got rave reviews when released (around 1990) as did the SP-14 preamp (its natural partner). I think I remember blue caps so they may be original (I doubt it). As I stated, Upscale Audio are pros so you should be good in the short ru... | |

| Dunlavy resurrection? Why not talk to http://www.tyleracoustics.com/. Mr. Tyler already makes some fine speakers and, obviously, has the infrastructure in place. Seems like a natural fit. Good luck! | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp I'm sure it wouldn't hurt and you need to do it when you install new tubes (tube life is about two years with moderate use). Also, probably a good idea to check bias every six months just to make sure tubes are still working. I traded my Classic 6... | |

| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp Upscale knows what they're doing so I wouldn't worry (in the short term). At some point, those caps need replacing (I had mine done at the local ARC dealer). Anyway, enjoy that wonderful amp! | |
| Acoustics Are you using full-range or subwoofer(s). In any case, try moving to a new position. If I move my subwoof a foot to the right, the sound is unbearable. | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp You can use small spades or something called "Pins". I owned this amp and don't remember using only bare wire. I'd try to find some budget speaker wire with small spades before I started chopping up my Bi-wire stuff. BTW, have those giant caps che... | |
| 1973 You put them in nets so you don't have to put them on a shelf or on the floor. Many positioning options hanging from the ceiling in nets (they must be smaller two-ways). I, also, had my AR reissue turntable on a suspended platform hanging from the... | |
| The New Luxman SQ-N150 Tube Integrated Amp Thanks. I've seen the ad for the Luxman equipment. Pure audio porn! | |
| 1973 Do some research about black lights. Seems they are harmful in some way we didn't know about in the 60's. Careful out there... |
