| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. Thanks to all for the responses, and special thanks to @hbarrel for your detailed/time consuming response! I am cerious if you have an opinion on the Simaudio integrateds characteristics? My new speaker cables came yesterday. I spent hours listen... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. @jafant The 700i has crossed my mind, although I question how much an improvement vs a more lateral move it would really be. I'm using an oppo 205-disc player for all my silver disc playback. I also have a Fanfare FM tuner, and Lyra Lydian Bet... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. @kofibaffour If you're refiring to my most recent post about the Parasound amp, you didn't read it very well. I brought it home and was used in the same system/room. As far as equipment goes, I spent many years with a Fosgate Signature phono s... | |
| Audio envy - dang! About two years back, I had the (Captain) send me a 10' pair of his SP12 and the (new and not yet published) model 34 speaker cables. After trying both sets in my system, I overwhelmingly chose the model 34's. I found them to be much better perfor... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. I was just setting here when I suddenly recalled something that I had forgotten about. Many years ago, I found a local small retailer who was closing his store and had a (Parasound I believe, don't remember the model) power amplifier he was liquid... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. @roadcykler I may not be using the correct terminology in "micro details", but i did explain it in the third paragraph of my post just before yours. I get the message that probably an amp change won't solve my issue. I'm going to entertain the... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. Thanks for the responses. I have been pondering a different disc player, I'm currently using an oppo 205 for all disc playback. I recently read about the Teac VRDS-701 and it sounds like a fine machine. Do you all think my oppo may be a glossing ... | |
| Grounded Speaker Cable In May of 2023, I had Cap send me the SP12s and also model 34 speaker cables in 10" length. At the time there was no mention of the SP14s. I tried both in my system and found the model 34 as the clear winner. I think the main difference was the ad... | |
| Silnote speaker Cables I have a few of the Silnote Poseidon ES power cords, and I like them best of the power cords I have tried. Because of this I have been cerious about the Silnote speaker cables. I have used a few differant speaker cables and always seem to end up w... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp The original supplied 6DJ8 tubes have no markings on them except 6DJ8 printed vertically in red ink. Musical Surroundings was the distributor for the Fosgate Signature and I believe the only place you will find those tubes, I did buy one from them... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp Hi Frank, I also own the Fosgate Signature V1 that I bought new. I don't know if you have the owners manual but the tube complement you referenced in your unit is way off.The original tube complement would consist of, V1 and V2 being 6DJ8, then V3... | |
| Any success with an indoor FM antenna? For years I used half of an old rather large roof antenna, (originally mounted at top of masonry chimney for television) placed in the attic of my home. I tended to have reception problems with three of the eight preset FM stations I listen to. T... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono V1 Preamplifier I have found my Fosgate to react to any and all changes, this would include duplex outlet, power cord, interconnect, and also changing the fuse to the Synergistic Research Black fuse made a noticeable difference. I am currently considering trying ... | |
| Cartridge Set Up Essentials A couple years back I bought the Rega Atlas Stylus Force Gauge. After using a couple different gauges, one was a digital scale but was magnetically attractive so was virtually impossible to use accurately. The Rega is extremely accurate and the re... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono V1 Preamplifier I own the same Fosgate V1 as you, a couple years back I bought the 6X4 SER Rectifier Tube. It seemed to make the sound smoother, less edgy. I liked it enough that I bought another for a backup. That said I have made many tube changes of the other ... |
