| Help please choosing AMP wattage for a newbe Max wattage is a pretty useless figure. Min wattage and efficiency mean much more. Keep in mind that a 92db rated speaker will require 1/2 the wattage to hit the same volume as an 89db rated speaker. My main amp is only 20 watts and I never run ou... | |
| Quiet Tube Preamp Recommendations sub $1000 Hiss should not be an issue. New tubes should do it, if not take the pre in. If I can hear hiss from more than 2 feet from my speakers, I do something about it. High efficiency speakers such as coincidents will only exagerate the hiss. | |
| Phono Pre Amp? Under $300, I love the 640. For $400, you may find a creek or even better? | |
| Using a Pre-Out to Bi-amp I totally disagree with most of the posts-it can't work. Forget getting the same amp gain. There will definitely be a delay caused by using 1 internal amp and 1 external. There is no way they are getting the identical signal at the identical time.... | |
| best small room 2 channel set up for under $2ooo Music Hall trio cd/receiver and a small pair of speakers designed for bookshelves (ie linn). | |
| Monitor/Bookshelve speakers? Differences? Both can be great. A true bookshelf speaker is designed to be placed in a tight space while many good monitors will sound best on a stand several feet from any wall. Most bookshelf speakers are not ported/vented, some may be front ported. Most boo... | |
| Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding? They will break in. However, I just replaced my 570's with AKG 701s and the difference is like moving from bose mini cubes to Thiels. | |
| 2ch Preamp Recomendations The classe will color the sound. Try an Anthem TLP or a B&K pro 10 as the bargain choice with great sound. | |
| Help / advice needed on monoblocks ? It's cheaper to buy in matched pairs. Also, too short can be bad. So it may pay to just go with the 2m. | |
| Power PC G3 as music source? If you are only using a PC for music, an older G3 won't have the memory/hard drive anyway. Go spend $400 on a new pc with a nice big hard drive and newer more compatible software. | |
| ARC VS110 tubes You should have your tubes tested before replacing. 1.5 years is not that old. You should get 1000+hours out of them. As far as matching goes, getting matched pairs or quads of tubes will always cost more but not twice as much. Try:thetubestore.co... | |
| bad cartridge or am I overlooking something? Maplin, a grooveless record? Great idea, but I've never seen one? A little help/advice, please. | |
| Someone school me on this stuff The more junk you have in one box, the more that tends to be compromised. A receiver will have an amp, pre-amp and tuner all in one box for a good price and should be simple. However, you have a few downfalls here: First of all, they all share one... | |
| Velodyne ULD 15 mk II Help with servo amp Thanks folks. I appreciate the input. The amp is working, the volume is beat and the sub sounds very slow and muddy. | |
| Best movie for subwoofer test ? Congo is amazingly musical with tons of African drumming. See if your system really does blend well... |
