| Tube Recommendations for C-J PV10B/MV55 Combo If you speak to CJ, they don't go for the expensive NOS tubes. I would look at NOS GE's or 5751's. EH or Tesla should be fine. You should consider buying from a dealer who can match them for you.As far as EL34's: The Shuguangs come in several vers... | |
| true bookshelf speaker I have an ad running now for Soliloquy Sat-5's. No ports and really solid, heavy boxes make them great for bookshelves. If you ever decide to put them on stands, they image nicely and look great too. | |
| Best Used under $300 2 Channel Amp If you are biamping, you really need 2 very closely matched if not identical amps. This may also require a pre with dual outputs. Y connectors will work but not as good many times.A cheaper alternative is one big amp vs biamping? Personally, I'd r... | |
| OPINION ON STARTER 2 CHANNEL USED PREAMP Passive, I'd go with a Creek.On Audiogon, the best I see is a B&K Pro 5. These actually sound very crisp and clean. The remote bites though.There is a Carver that is ok or a quad. Personally, I'd stay away from old adcom or NAD. New ones are g... | |
| Where can one purchase lead shot for speakers? Joe, Steel shot will rattle. Pennies will shake like all hell. The idea of lead is because it is heavy and soft. The best alternative is gold pellets if you want to use money...softer than pennies and won't rattle.I agree with nice black volcanic ... | |
| Help deciding on an amp. Mine were amazing with a PSE studio IV. Any slightly warm 100 watt amp should do fine. The threshold 400A is one of my all time favorites. However, it is very old and when they have any problems at all, it is a disaster to fix.You could look at An... | |
| Klipschorn placement and power question I agree with Johnnyb, you aren't really going to be utilizing the Klipchorns properly with that set-up. They will pump out tons of sound from 50-100 very clean watts. However, they may get fatiguing if you don't have a very nice clean amp (ie mac ... | |
| Quality speakers that don't need tons of power Coincident Eclipse | |
| Which headphones & headphone amp combo? Why do you need a combo? It's like insisting on buying a pair of speakers and power amp combo...doesn't make sense. Find a pair of headphones you like, then find an amp to power them with. Personally, I like AKG's. | |
| 1set of speakers/2 amps Niles was making an automatic switching device. Check on it. It will protect you from blowing an amp. | |
| Dumb Multiroom Question Niles makes multi channel amps that are really nice. I really like the 12 channel sherbourne. This could eliminate the multi speaker selector. My guess is that the selector is actually hurting the sound quality anyway. Older Adcom units tended to ... | |
| Wireless sound transmission to HT rears? I wouldn't even consider it! | |
| biwiring for vandersteen 2cis Switching from kimber 4tc's to 8tc's made a little difference on my 2ci's. Personally, I'd rather spend the money on 1 good amp than 2 ok amps. The only reason I see to bi-amp is if you love your main amp but it doesn't have enough power. | |
| 3 head cassette decks Hey, I've got a teac w850R that is collecting dust. It was about $825 new. Top of the line for teac. Comes with remote and box. The best things about it are dual decks and everything sounds good from it unlike naks that make other recordings sound... |
