Subaru, i am still pissed-off at you for bashing the Vac Avatar, and now this!: "...tubes are great in a low-powered situation, like thosde great old radios of the 50s..." Just kiddin' dawg, i hope you are too?! Still, last time i listened Aleph 3... | |

| Hi end audio who cares I think Europe and Asia is different?! Even in impoverished and war torn (former) Yugoslavia where i come from many audio dealers stock some of the best stuff found in Europe. Some of my friend, even though they couldn't afford cars invest good ch... | |
| Rogue Tempest Magnum vs. Audio Research CA-50 I am not familiar with Rogue amps, but i was impressed with CA-50 and compared it with CJ Cav-50. However, lack of flexibility (only 6550 tube) and price swayed me toward older Sonic Frontiers Control-1 where i could use variety of tubes (Kt88, Kt... | |
| Best amp to drive B&W N805's With its peak current output of 30 amps and high damping factor Magnum Dynalab can easily handle ANY speaker load, including b@W 805's! With MD 208 you also get the world class tuner. Get 208 and don't look back! Good Luck! | |
| Need an integrated for sensitive speakers - Help Check on SfC-1, tube amp listed here for $800. If you like classical music, traditional jazz and blues SFC-1 would be my amp of choice. Good Luck! | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles Did you try any other speakers in this set-up? Maybe Triangle is not a good match for Unico/Rega combination? | |

| Homemade speakers? I built Watt/puppy clones by Thorsten Loesch plans. I used Focal 120TDX tweeters, Seas CB17RCY mids,(used in Wilson Cub's) and Peerless CSX Woofers. Ansar, Audio Cap cap's Allen Bradley resistors and Goerz foil inductors. My first project, and res... | |
| Help with Speaker selection Your set-up "screams" Watt/Puppy 5.1 or 6.0! (used). Of course, that is only my suggestion. | |
| Sherlock Holmes needs clues I could be wrong but i think speakers are at fault. Once i listened B@W 801, and had similar characteristics as Judit described. | |
| Amps get all the thunder, what about preamps? No pre-amp is best pre-amp! Check this link, and with some "elbow grease" you might end up with best kept secret in audio complimenting your amp!? http://www.bentaudio.com/index2.html | |
| Is there a good DIY headphone amp out there? Here is the link: http://headwize.com/projects/index.htmI built class A mosfet version amp and it is fine sounding unit. Have fun. | |
| Separates vs. Integrated I was about to "upgrade" from SFC-1(the first integrated that SF made, what is in fact amp with volume control) to SFL-1 and SFP-1, but after two weeks of home audition i realized, while it was somewhat different (despite claim that it would be " ... |
