| Newbee dumb question, What exactly is B stock Be careful with "B" stock. I have got some really good deals but they are prone to breakdowns!! I won't even go into problems with a pair of Sony DAT's (forget about ANY help from Sony...too damn big...even getting the correct department/phone num... | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Glen, Defcon 5 is nice and mellow. Defcon 1, the mountain is locked and secured, and the mushrooms will soon be sprouting! | |
| Electicity bill down 45 mo- Yeah, but now your home heating costs are going to go up in the cool months! Happy Tunes! | |
| best 50 watt tube amplifier? Atma-sphere M60-MkII.2 (60+ watts depending on speaker impedance). You'll have to use one of the Atma-sphere preamps for best results, though! The money goes into product circuitry and quality components, NOT advertising and marketing budget. Happ... | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? Forget about the looks of the Avant-garde...I finally got to hear them in Vegas. They are great, if you like the sound of "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Singers (remember that one?) Great megaphone sound!!! Also, I really do like the... | |
| Additional upgrade on power cords needed? I am a big fan of David Blair's Custom Power Cords and use his power conditioning units & power cords exclusively. His products are one of the best bargains in high end audio! Go with either the Mod. 11, or if funds permit, the Top Gun. The co... | |
| Digital Audio Cables: Wire or Optical Go with the coax cable (this is a "no brainer"...I wish all choices were this easy!) I assume that by optical, you are referring to Toslink and NOT AT&T glass! Happy Tunes! | |
| Really dumb question about Atmasphere amps I own the M60-MkII.2's, and I actually prefer the inputs on the front! In my set-up, it makes the access to the interconnects MUCH EASIER! My personal opinion about Atma-sphere amps (besides loving them): I think that they are one of the best barg... | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Does anyone know for sure if a bank draft or certified bank check is more secure than a simple bank money order? This draft is physically typed by the bank and requires BOTH the payee's and payor's name be typed in by a bank official, rather than ... | |
| Does your amp sound hum....when your ear close it Probably just the transformer(s) doing their stuff. I'm not familiar with this amp, but since you imply that you can't hear the hum until you put your ear next to the amp, not to worry...unless this is your normal listening position!!! Happy Tunes! | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Jtinn, the Atma-sphere amps are all OTL's. Your statement seems to indicate that they are not ("The Lamm's and Atma-sphere are next if more power or a transformer is needed.") I'm sure that this was just a syntax error in your post, since you are ... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD Hey, I'm sticking with my "state of the art" el-cassette deck! | |
| I need amplification..... I have also used the Audio Refinement Complete and was quite impressed. It totally blew away an older Musical Fidelity amp (A-220). Same 50 watts, and the M.F. was even class A biased! Happy Tunes! | |
| How important is "brand name"? Some brand names are important to me. Accuphase is a high end Japanese manufacturer that has to please the fanatical Asian audiophile, where there exists a sense of "honor" that has been lost to most of the western world. Reputation is EVERYTHING!... | |
| Opinions please on a selection of a Preamp. I'm using (and love) Atma-sphere equipment! My personal opinion, however, for full sonic enjoyment, use an Atma-sphere amp/preamp combo. Happy Tunes! |
