| How much have sub-woofers changed over the years? I'm running a velodyne ULD-15, 400 watt servo with brand new soliloquys and couldn't be happier. All that has changed over the years is that Velodynes have gained more wattage and performance for the money. A used sub for probably 1/3 the price is... | |
| Small tube amp for office suggestions? Vintage Pilot, Scott, Fisher, Heath, Eico...... You can even get a vintage tube receiver. | |
| What other speakers would you consider for this .. If you like the analogue sound, then why scrap the speakers? Get an external d/a to help the digital sound. Look for something like a CAL or Theta which should warm up the cd sound some? | |
| amp recommendation The micros are fairly efficient but a little bright. With that in mind, I would lean towards something like Creek or Rotel. 30-50 watts will be plenty. I hope you are using a sub with built in crossover so you don't damage the gallos. | |
| Sonus Faber w/ Sonic Frontiers Power 1 - Impedance Usually, this would mean burning out your tubes. If you are driving the system hard and not paying attention, you could do more damage to the amp. Your speakers should be fine unless you are at 100% volume when somethings goes....Honestly though, ... | |
| Sonus Faber w/ Sonic Frontiers Power 1 - Impedance 4 ohms! You can cause problems by having speakers hooked up to too high of a tap but you can always use a lower tap. | |
| Please help me get my missing frequencies Your sub should have 2 inputs: one for full frequency from the pre and one to the equalizer. Read the manual and switch inputs into the sub if you want the sub to perform the EQ. You might be better off letting the pre/pro do the crossover work an... | |
| Turntable Choices You can get a used Sota in that price range that would make you quite happy! | |
| Review: Shuguang/SuperTNT 845B tube Tweak I agree with the positive review. However, buyers beware! There is also an "A" series for all shuguang tubes. The A is not as good as the "B". If you see shuguang tubes for wayyyyy under market value, they are probably pushing the A (ie EL34A vs E... | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios Keep 1 fact in mind: Revels take hundreds of hours to break in. Have a lot of patience if they don't sound as good at home as the demo's in the store. | |
| Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34 Your speakers, simply put, are NOT tube friendly. 87db just doesn't cut it. If you want some strong, tight bass at reasonable volumes, you should consider at least 90db speakers if not more.Your EL34 amp is probably 40 watts. To drive your speaker... | |
| Ortofon FF15 Any Good? Hi,I wonder if you would be better off just buying a new cartridge for almost the same money. Your cartridge may have issues with dust, drying out, etc... You can get a new ortofon OM-5 for probably $60 and would probably be happier. I've had prob... | |
| Vandies or Maggies? I spent many sleepless nights with my first kid on my lab listening to maggies. The biggest problem is that she didn't always let me sit in the "sweet spot". Off center seating is a problem with them. The good news is that we spent so much time in... | |
| Support Questions. Walter Liederman, owner of Underwood, is an awesome guy. I doubt that you will find a disappointed customer. I've bought from him multiple times. | |
| Need suggestion instead of a Beosound 3200 Best buy sells some decent mid level stuff sometimes. I'd really push the denon 2200 dvd since it sounds great as dvd/sacd/cd and eliminates the need for a cd. You will have to spend quite a few bucks more to top it. You may even want to consider ... |
