| Best 6 inch speaker cable suggestions needed. If you want to make your own, I'll be happy to snip you a foot of Nordost Flatline Gold-maybe trade for a cd? | |
| Time to move on from my old SOTA ? If you have a good tech in the area, you can get it cleaned, lubed, belt and totally adjusted for a lot less than 1500. A new cartridge will run you anywhere from 100 to 1000 depending on you tastes. A Goldring 1012 or 1042 work great with the tab... | |
| PSB Stratus Silver i vs. new Image/Imagine series? The Silvers are really nice but huge and heavy. Shipping will set you back a bunch. Personally, I like the mini's best of the stratus lineup. If you can live with less bass, you will get better imaging and a lot less bulk. | |
| Tube Amp for GR Research LS-6 Class A amps may work better. The normal listening will all be in class A with peaks handled a/b. That will keep you out of tubes?My calculations:90db 1 watt93db 2 watts96db 4 watts99db 8 watts102db 16 watts105db 32 watts108db 64 wattsPerceived vo... | |
| Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED I was always taught this: 1 watt of distortion can do much more damage than 500 clean watts. 350 means little if the system or music aren't perfect. | |
| 1k used speaker all rounder Coincident. I'm using 5 with my theater and another pair with my tube set-up (7watts to 100watts depending on the amps). | |
| Best Tube Preamp with Phono under $2000 ? I just saw an MFA Magus on here for $995. Simply the sweetest pre I've ever heard. Great tube stage phono pre built in. | |
| slightly neurotic question from a tube newbie Bent tubes are usually not an issue. If the glass gets loose from the base, that's an issue (hey, I've epoxied those too).Best solution, replace the stock tubes. Jolidas can be a much better amp with anything other than stock. | |
| This is a silly hobby. You are definitely addicted. When am I invited over? I'll bring the $80 scotch...I'll even bring over my $35 receiver that will blow your mind! | |
| Improve my system The PS3 is a weak link. Look into a nice multi player for 5 channel SACD/DVD-A and quality 2 channel. Perhaps a modded Denon from Underwood? | |
| separate system for just music? I have 2 separate systems and am quite happy. The theater is no slouch. However, my 2 channel is a nice little tube set up with vinyl and cd. The theater is in my basement and is really set up for theater and 5 channel audio.My 2 channel is in my ... | |
| Best Audio quality in Home Theatre Reciever? DVD ? Sunfire | |
| Phono Amp recomendation I love the Cambridge 640 (not the 540). You can get it new for under 200. | |
| Speaker advise for a new Tube Amp. Tvad is correct!There are a couple of Klipsch listed in the last few days, Quartet & RF-62 and even Heresey's. There is also a pair of ADS listed at 94db. Your room is simply too small to be filled by something like coincident triumphs or othe... | |
| Dual source speaker switch Niles made/makes one. I think they even had an "auto" sensing one but I'm not positive. |
