| Are class A tube amps similar to class A solid state ... Keep in mind that an 80 watt amp will only sound about twice as loud as an 8-10 watt amp (10 db increase to double perceived volume). A lot depends on the power supply driving the whole thing and what the dynamic headroom is. | |
| Marantz 1060 vs. Mac 1700/1900 I like the 1700 over the 1900 because of the tube tuner. The Marantz tuning is nice but the Mac is nicer sounding to me. If you don't care much about radio, then I wouldn't go vintage-vintage can need a ton of work. You will have a lot of fun w... | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players Isn't this why Oppo has the 95/105 with direct 2 channel out? They recognize the possibility of interference and have tried very hard to minimize that. | |
| Who has a micro 2.0 system? Too small of a room is a huge challenge if you want stereo, imaging and full range sound. I'd suggest you look at a Geneva Labs radio. The B&W Zeppelin or similar would be nice. | |
| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k Having owned large clubs, I would suggest something with a mono switch. Unless you plan to paint only in 1 specific spot nothing will ever sound right, especially with all of the room reflections. Bass is going to be boomy and highs will probabl... | |
| Best all in one home theatre for under $2000 Anything with a built in DVD should really be considered "disposable". Consider any dvd with a pair of powered speakers or a really nice soundbar and wireless sub? | |
| SACD with LFD/ Harbeth A used Oppo 95 by Modwright would be awesome. The SACD layer and decoding can be quite different than the cd layer on these discs. You really need to compare the cd layer to the sacd layer-it could be enlightening (or disappointing). Maybe even ge... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube I played with the Devialet amps today. It was very enlightening for me to hear what a great class D amp can do. It was warm, smooth, very clean and tight. In other words, I couldn't find any faults (except the price). This is the first time I've l... | |
| Need a shipping box for Technics SL-1200-MKII I wouldn't trust UPS to pack a table. The tonearm needs removed (cartridge first). Then, the dust cover needs removed and packed separately. If the platter comes out, that should get pulled.Now, UPS or any monkey can pack it all up safely. Keep in... | |

| Ideal Cheap Low-Watt Amp for Martin Logan Quest Mofi-I'm using the same amp right now! When my system runs for days on end at the office I hate to burn tubes and substitute this little one. The power is sufficient. I will say that the sound quality difference probably will be noticeable vs the ... | |
| Newbie Question on Selecting USB Output I'm running 7 on several pc's. When I hook up a DAC, the PC recognizes it automatically. My main pc will even disable the 1/8" speaker jack when I plug in a DAC. I guess it depends on your soundcard? |
