| Velodyne sub hookup I agree, you had the Y's to bypass the velo crossover. Won't hurt to try it the other way. You may get a little less bass? | |
| tube info needed Cool group to roll with. EL34 vs 6550 vs 6sn7s could make a lot of fun. They are all good tubes (as long as they test well). You can buy better of any of these if you really want but why? Get a feel for them first. Keep in mind that you will proba... | |
| Have 6 channel amp what's next ? If you can bi-wire/bi-amp your center channel, that would be awesome. Otherwise, the 6th channel will not be used. Make sure that you don't have a signal into it if it's not hooked up to a speaker.You will have to get a pre/pro with or without a t... | |
| Class A Amp Most class A amps go to class A/B after 20-60 watts. They simply can't dissipate that much power when idle. I'd go with a moscode bridged mono. | |
| Pass, Bryston, Audio Research, or McIntosh? There's a 500 wpc mac for sale on Pittsburgh's craigslist. It is for real. The sellor is honest. He is selling that, a c33 pre and mac speakers for $4400. The amp alone is worth $2500 minimum. Check it out. I'll help locally if you need. | |
| postal Money order and fraud? Hey, Did you know you can STOP PAYMENT on postal money orders?Go for it. That'll get his attention. It's a long hard process but who cares. | |
| recommend excellent cassette for playback only? I'll take $125 for my Teac 850? | |
| turntable newbie: need advice for better sound Grimace, I knew you couldn't stay out of a shure posting! I still have my M91 for emergencies... | |
| So where from here? Send the MH gear to chris johnson at partsconnexion for mods. It is amazing what he can do. The maverick will go to a whole new level. For the 25.2, you could look at upgrades but I'd be tempted to just sell it and go for a Mambo, class A rated. | |
| Preference for separate phono stages? Old AR pre-amps with phono are amazing (ie 6C). However, that is from the true old vinyl days. In the 80's & 90's most phono stages were just an afterthought. The phono stage in a cambridge 640 phono is way better than the internal phono stage... | |
| turntable newbie: need advice for better sound How are you changing the weight? You truly need a scale. Also, a tiny bubble level for $5 will help. Otherwise, you are probably at the limits of the M97. It's nice but definitely not high end or even mid range. Look at some in the 2-3 hundred ran... | |
| recommend excellent cassette for playback only? My Dragon took about 6 months and $850 for the rebuild. However, you need to keep in mind that many tapes made on your dragon won't sound as good on some other decks. I have a dual well Teac W-850R if you are interested. It was $825 new but wayyyy... | |
| Cambridge - 540A /640A ver. 2 Integrated Amplifier From what I know, there is no comparison between the 540 and 640. Completely different components and build. Not to knock the 540 but I'll bet the 640 will crush it. | |
| PrePro or Integrated Receiver 4 Family Ent Center I just set up my brother's system. His wife didn't want to learn so I showed his 7 year old how to run it. Keep it simple with a little remote for the kids.From experience, I'd run the whole house system completely independently. Buy a nice little... | |
| Speakers and Tube Amps Go to sonicfrontiers.com there is some awesome reading posted on there. I think "a taste of tubes" along with more. |
