| What happened to my EL84 tube? Jafox is trying to act as my "savior". Selling my quad would get me out of a project??? Contact me. If you need just a single EL84 till you decide, I may have something laying around (like a telefunken testing 50%)for really cheap. | |
| any science to mix and match speakers for HT? You should be able to find some 1.2's or so for under $400. Buy 2, use 1 and put 1 away somewhere? That should do the trick? You really need the same voicing across the front 3 speakers. Rears don't matter as much. | |

| What would you do with an awesome quad of 6BQ5? By the way, therapy won't help. Work is very slow right now, I'm simply bored but have a great hobby when not mountain biking. | |
| What would you do with an awesome quad of 6BQ5? I appreciate the Pilot suggestions. I've already owned a 245B (I think that was the model) integrated with matching tuner and multiplexer. I'm looking a little more obscure? I may end up getting something like a very old Williamson based amp? Than... | |
| coincident speakers do you have troubadors Israel,Don't fret getting beaten up a little here. You can't please everyone all of the time. I FOR ONE AM A QUITE HAPPY CUSTOMER. The only way I will ever get rid of my conquests is to finally move up the line.You have been great to deal with ove... | |
| back to ask again long sorry Albert Porter is right.I think you just have a component that is incompatible.My suggestion is to borrow some pieces from friends. Try a different amp and see how you like the system then? Do this with the rest of the gear too. Odds are you will n... | |

| Biamping, bass and amplifier type. How can any of us argue with Mr. Von Schweikert? | |
| Biamping, bass and amplifier type. I disagree with Stewie. He's gotten lucky with gain. Many amps will increase at different rates. Some amps will double output with a quarter turn while other only go up 10%. There is no way to compensate for different rates of gain. | |
| Revel Ultima Gem & Cary CAD 805? Revels like power. The Cary may sound good but your won't get the most out of your speakers. | |
| pre/proc or integrated w/pre outputs Is the RBH really an upgrade over the Denon? Isn't it an older unit? To really see a benefit from power increases, you will need to double or triple the power from the denon. If you figure that by going to one of these processors first is a good s... | |
| Power conditioning Whether folks like them or not, you at least need a very good surge protector. If you have any noise issues at all, that's a sign of needing one. Personally, I'm very happy with PS Audio. | |
| Budget Turntable 50 albums and no more ever? If that's true, go to goodwill and buy and old dual for $20. Then, buy a new cartridge for $40 from needledoctor. For a phono pre, go as cheap as you can, the NAD or Parasound will do well for under $100. The other opti... | |
| Biamping, bass and amplifier type. I disagree. The gain in the different amps will cause issues/imbalances. I would ONLY bi-amp with identical amps. Period. |
