| Can a new Cambridge 540p be so loud? Is it switchable from MM and MC? | |

| One channel gets weak in Mac Receiver 1700 I can't remember but what is the tube complement on it? | |
| cambridge 840c ? A group of us just finished a comparison: The 840c won against everything we threw at it in every category. It beat a Rega Apollo, Modded Music Hall & Jolida. It's worth every penny! | |
| Speaker Damage/Amp Power/Volume Energy will probably fix it for free.Also, add a powered sub. Not only will this alleviate a lot of the work for your speakers, it will let you get by with much less power from the amp since bass is where most power is wasted. | |
| Wall mounting Totem Rainmakers My biggest problem with little ones wasn't getting hurt so much as my daughter loved to touch the drivers. She pushed in more than 1 dust cap.Strong grills are wise. Personally, I went to floor standers so they couldn't get knocked over. | |
| DAC or no DAC? If yes, which one? If you are going on a tight budget, the Jolida is only $120. | |
| One channel gets weak in Mac Receiver 1700 A tube is going. Simple fix, about $20.You should have a pair in there. You can switch them from side to side and see if the problem moves.Don't touch when hot, definitely replace in pairs.Great vintage receiver. | |

| Is it possible? A good solution? I would bet that keeping the signal all analogue will sound much better than anything else.You can get a DAC/Pre-amp with analogue inputs. That would be best, Peachtree? | |
| Vertical vs Horizontal Bi-amp Bd-nice thoughts! | |
| Loss of Highs I'm laughing: You probably didn't realize the highs were diminished with the older tubes until you compared them to the new ones. The old ones are most likely beat. The new tubes may have an issue? Where did you get them? You might need a 3rd set ... | |
| New to tubes From my experiences, 12ax7's should last 2500 to 5000 hours, 12au7's a little longer. I never get more than 1500 hours out of EL34's. Also, EL 34's usually don't put out more than 20-25 watts each in Ultralinear and half that in triode. So, 4 tube... | |
