| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia The entire M series can hold its own against anything, M35,40, 45, 60 & 80 are all amazing. | |
| 12AX7/LPS Sovtek - I am very confused, please help You may have to buy a second one? If that tests the same, the dealer is right. If not, he owes you one. | |
| Amp ideas for Soliloquy SM2a3 speakers They were designed for low powered SET's. Personally, I find them a little on the "mellow/soft" side. I'd connect them to a lively little amp. Maybe EL34's will have more bite than some 2A3's? | |
| Help with HP 9000 laptop sound Thanks guys but I am really looking for an internal solution. I've got great gear at home to listen to. All I want is reasonable sound for when I'm on the road or flying. Right now the sound is barely audible on a plane. The last thing I want to d... | |
| Preamp and DAC combination for upgrade Check out Music Hall, Raven or Mambo. Both have built in DAC, should have pre-outs. The Raven has tuner, Mambo is integrated with Class A amp. | |
| Fuses keep blowing Pull all tubes and turn it on. If that works, it could be a shorted tube-most likely an output tube. | |
| Ipod or MP3 for hold music; mono adapter? Muzak. The other option is Dishnetwork, directv or cable. You simply leave it on a music station. You can run a Y adaptor in reverse to combine the signal. | |
| Will my Dynaco MKII power My Magnepan MGII's? My old Pilot with 18 watts drove my Maggies but it was a waste of effort when compared to what a 200wpc Mac could do. Even then, 200 watts is barely enough for maggies. | |
| E188CC/7308/6922 Go to www.tubeworld.comThey have really good pictures usually. | |
| Will my Dynaco MKII power My Magnepan MGII's? Softly. No bass at all but will sound good. It will be very easy to overdrive the amp. Not even close to my ideal choice. | |
| Best Used Amp/Preamp/CD Combo Under $1k I have a heavily modded Trio. I love it for what it is. However, the amp section is the weak link. I had the pre-outs upgraded and usually run to an external amp for quality listening. The internal 50 watts is OK but not in the class of the Mambo. | |
| Pass Amps Class A operation 1 watt =87db2 watts = 90db4 watts = 93db8 watts = 96db16 watts = 99dbTHX is 110db, ultra THX is 112dbA couple of things to keep in mind:1-there's no crossover in the amp, just over a certain load, it starts switching out.2-you could be playing in ... | |
| Experience with portable "mp3" devices I think that compression is a huge issue. They all sounded like crap to me until I decided to waste space and go lossless. $50 headphones make a huge difference too. I just got a Sansa Clip for my daughter and it sounds great with lossless. | |
| Projector I can say that my LCD does not look nearly as good as my brothers DLP.150 inch is a huge stretch for any projector. I wouldn't believe anyone's claims of an LCD handling this with quality unless you see it in person.I bought my LCD when I saw the ... | |
| Best Used Amp/Preamp/CD Combo Under $1k The Mambo is great, class A rated power is warm. I believe it also has a built in DAC so any decent cd player will work great.Your thought on Acurus amps is way off base. They are much more harsh, almost crude sounding. Extremely different than th... |
