| Music Hall Mambo vs. Peachtree Decco Isn't the Mambo class A rated? It should sound "warm" and run fairly hot. The built in dac is great. | |
| What makes the difference in these two amps Tpsonic put it nicely. The deal with Carver was a lot of cheap power. B&K goes for quality over quantity. | |
| Two-part headphone question You can find AKG 701's for low $200s if that's in your range. Extremely comfortable and I like them much better than the Grados or Sennheisers.Most phones come with 12 foot cables. You can easily get an extension without a noticeable loss of fidel... | |
| audio research REF2 MK2 5AR4 / GZ34 problems Rectifiers should last a really long time. Even if you left you amp powered on for 7 months straight, the output tubes would fail long before the rectifiers.My guess, you have something wrong in there. I'd start by contacting AR or spending the mo... | |
| Mcintosh xrt20 or Gallo 3.1?? The Macs were extremely expensive, huge and only decent sounding. Even if price were not an issue, the Gallos are still much more musical.One could call the Gallos ugly or retro or interesting... but no one could call the macs anything more than u... | |
| Sign of Rust on the Amp fins of Threshold T400 Elizabeth is correct. It's probably just discoloration. Try rubbing alcohol first. | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Sig 2's with Alpha Core AG-1 wire I ran my 2Ce's with Kimber 8TC and it was great. | |
| tube power amp for my thiels cs6 speakers Look for a Dynaco St-80 or St-160 by Panor. They have 2 ohm taps. The 160 is 80wpc and should easily handle your needs. The 80 may get mushy on dynamic peaks. | |
| Class A Power Amp Degredation Warren, you don't want to experience 122db. It hurts. I had Cornwalls, 102db/1watt, running from a Threshold 400A and a Yamaha M-80. I never made it past 1/2 volume. This could get well over 128db if you do the math. If 110db is THX, 112db is Ultr... | |
| RCA connectors for whole house audio system? You're gonna need a lot more than just an amp. Do you have a multi zone unit? Speaker selector? IR repeater system? Cutting the RCA's is the easy part.You need to decide how many zones will be run at one time with different sources? A great 2 chan... | |
| Best Mainstream Receiver for 2 Channel Audio Best 2 channel receiver around right now is probably a magnum dynalab. Other nice pieces by Arcam and Music Hall. | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Frank, you are definitely an expert but I was totally uninterested. Sorry.Mig007: You need to compare your SACD to the same thing on vinyl with a good table. You just might have a revelation? I run both 2 channel and 5.1. Different music for diffe... | |
| help me choose speakers..Totem B&W KEF Dali Go back to the shop you liked the most, use 1 amp on several kinds of speakers, then repost this. If you like the parasound with KEF's but not with something else, that will tell us a lot. Or, compare the KEF's with 2 amps. You are looking for eit... | |
| Would you buy used headphones? Honestly, what are you going to catch from used headphones? As long as they aren't earbuds...lice is visible. Just clean them off and use them. Never heard of getting STD's from ear sex??? I avoid headphones in record stores but that's hundreds, i... | |
| 3 channel tube amp for home theater? Get either 3 monoblocks or a pair of stereo amps an bridge the one for the center speaker (if bridgeable). |
