| Will a Mcintosh 302 amp have sufficient power to drive revel salon 2 's ? Seriously, is 300 wpc enough? Revels are power hogs but how do you get more? 400 wpc will only get you and extra 3db... | |
| Newb question regarding alignment - Should the stylus Physically touch the protractor? Lewm, it sounds like this is a semi automatic table. The gear will force it through a cycle if the button is pushed. You should be able to manually turn the platter to get to the perfect point in the cycle of lowering the arm having the platter ... | |
| Newb question regarding alignment - Should the stylus Physically touch the protractor? I like my Geodisc and yes I let the stylus touch-CAREFULLY. The 97 should have a plastic guard it shipped with, you could keep that on?Do NOT tape the platter down to keep it from moving. If this is direct drive, not good for the motor, belt dri... | |
| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? Both might...A-You need to listen to them. Very different sound qualities. Also, where will you be sitting? The Maggies have an awesome sweet spot. From my experiences, ML's are more forgiving.B-What's driving them? You better have a lot of p... | |
| "High End" Bluetooth Receivers - Snake Oil? All bluetooth units are not created equal. I can tell you that streaming hi res Tidal through my audioengine into a Chord Hugo and it was simply amazing. I'd put it against almost anything. | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? No one is willing to admit to owning Bose on this site. That company wins the award hands down! | |
| Threshold 400A Amplifier and Conrad Jonson MF2500A No conditioner can be risky. At least use some sort of surge protector or UPS. I have a whole house surge protector (only trips on big hits). Additionally, I have PS Audio & Blue Circle conditioners throughout the house. We had lightning h... | |
| how do you select a center channel to match when the company only makes monitor speakers? I have Coincident speakers and had the same issue. I ran ads and looked far and wide for a single. Luckily, a guy from Toronto had the same needs. We split a pair of Triumphs. Try running ads to see if someone is interested. You may have to b... | |
| Threshold 400A Amplifier and Conrad Jonson MF2500A I'd be a little paranoid leaving the 400A on all of the time. I had one and loved it. The energy waste is huge so I only left it on if I was going to listen again in the near future. Why paranoid? This is a fairly old unit and it well known tha... | |
| Where do you guys buy tubes? Tubesandmore.comThis is antique electronic supply. Greg is great | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) Seadweller, what's going to be driving these? Makes a huge difference if you only have 20 watts vs 200... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? As I sit here with Merrill Zigmahornets, I feel your needs. Tiny super efficient speakers that hit most of the frequency range beautifully. You won't believe what a 4" driver can do in a 1/4 wave transmission line cabinet! All they are missing ... | |
| OPPO BDP103 & DSD Files I love my Oppo but can't say it's the best for a thumb drive or network. You definitely want a monitor attached to really play from those sources. You would be best served to have 2 boxes, not one. A used Oppo 95 should be better for audio than... | |
| Speaker for Mcintosh MC 30 You could find some Coincidents which are quite efficient. However, with a vintage amp that really has great mids you might be really happy with a single driver speaker such as Lowthers. | |
| Question about valves running hours My work system is driven by a 55 year old Masterwork amp (by pilot). I use it for 8 hour work days all of the time and it never fails me. It does get hot but I make sure it's well ventilated. If this amp can take the abuse without ever burning ... |
