| Which system would you rather have? IslandmanDan gets it.The Chinese made Boutique brands buy the EXACT same fancy Japanese Power Trandsformers, caps etc..that the big makers do, they just DON"T pay the HUGE markups manufacturers in this country pay.There’s a reason besides cheap la... | |
| Which system would you rather have? Sorry Ivan but I'll take door #2,EVERYTHING behind door #3 WITHOUT the financial ruin.The more I experiment with the Chinese Boutique Brands the more I am convinced that in this day & age you do NOT have to settle for an unbalanced system.$500... | |
| Moving to new house-need advice on HT As stated by tls49.IMO & experience timbre matched rears are only vital in surround music. | |
| Parasound Install I'm sure we could walk you through it. | |
| Best speakers for $3000 Sonus Faber Toy Tower!!!WAY under your budget & worth EVERY penny of $3000.00!!! | |
| A little help please Mark these words.You WILL regret moving from tubes to SS!It’s a damn shame you can’t sit down & listen to my simple little rig.The Yaqin MS-30 compares VERY well to your amp(I run strictly in Triode Mode 25wpc.)driving the Sonus Faber Toy Towe... | |
| A little help please Yea the Dialog would have no trouble with the Arro’s.If you could trade up to that amp you would NEVER need another & speaker choices would be wide open INCLUDING Magnapans!The Paradigms require a well treated room to shine.Never heard the Aco... | |
| A little help please OP:How in the *^*K can a so called Authorized Dealer not know his own product?That’s a BIG RED FLAG to me.Here’s an idea.Take back BOTH the amp & speakers & get the upgraded amp with those funds!PS:I’m curious how did the Arro’s sound when... | |
| A little help please With that amp probably.It depends on how stable the impedance is & if it has big swings through the freq.spectrum.Anything with over about a 40degree swing I would shy away from.Take for instance the Toy Towers.Rated 8 ohms dip to mid 4’s in t... | |
| A little help please Search the forums for "Arro".Scroll for the many "which amp for"posts I sure are here.The problem I see is placement.Most of the great speakers need a bit of room to breath so the soundstage can develop.I would also search "close to wall"in the sp... | |
| Anyone know how to bias output tubes (using built in meter) on a Stereo Knight M-40 (Int. Amp)? I wanted to elaborate on my findings re:the 4 RCA's on the side.First I am only about 70% sure that the info I found also applies to the S40 as it comes from the S.N.stand alone Reference PreAmp,which is the foundation of the PreAmp in the S40.App... | |
| A little help please IMO the amp you have is capable of making MAGIC!You just need the right speaker.Gently used Sonus Faber Concertino/Concerto Home(both front ported) or better yet the Toy Towers(with bass port plugged)would sing with that amp & look good enough... | |
| A little help please I think the problem here is the amp just can’t handle the low impedance of your speakers.I would upgrade speakers to something a bit more friendly & change the small signal tubes.Sonus Fabers sound good placed close to walls & love tubes. | |
| Need help with Integrated vs preamp/amp As a longtime PTA owner I can tell you swapping out the unbranded Chinese tube for NOS will move the amp into another level of performance.As for a DAC what inputs do you need?Without knowing I'ld recommend the Peachtree Audio DAC iTx. | |
| Anyone know how to bias output tubes (using built in meter) on a Stereo Knight M-40 (Int. Amp)? Ok,Google turned up just enough info.I believe the 4 RCA's are so the passive preamp section can be isolated from the amp should you choose to use a different one.I think the problem is you must have a load on the amp to Bias.The single slot adjus... |
