| Which amplifier should i buy Carver 350 monos will handle any speaker you throw at them. And at under 10 grand you will have money to spare to change out the signal tubes to NOS. The power tubes are kt120's and with Carvers DC restorer circuit they run very cool and have hu... | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion Anticables are a reasonably priced option I've enjoyed for years. I've bought more expensive but have always gone back Anticables. Their power cords were the first game changer for me as to my opinion about cables in general. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Don't give up on tube amps. Two that come to mind that have a control circuit that allows the tubes to run low temps are Carver Crimson 275 and Linear Tube Audio. If you're hooked on the tube sound class D may not satisfy you, but try Digital Am... | |
| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com I've done business with them 3 times. Never had a problem. Pretty quick with shipping too and I always got answers to my emails. Late last year I had a quad of tubes ordered and they were taking a bit longer than usual. I emailed them and it w... | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K I've had the Spatial Audio X5's for almost a year now and really like them. Can't help you with size, although they are less than 4 feet tall. If it's about being obtrusive in the room, I have Herbies Audio Labs slider / isolation feet and I sli... | |
| Pimping your router I went with an opticalRendu for the last three meters to clear whatever grunge was in the LAN. Once the signal hits the fiber the noise can't travel any further. It was a nice clean up of the sound. Noise reduction in the power lines and LAN re... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner I have a pair of High Fidelity Cables Pro 1 DH Plus. Stunning improvement to depth and soundstage, along with noise reduction. | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core I recently went with a fanless, noiseless Small Green Computer sonicTransporter and an opticalRendu with Roon and couldn't be happier. It plays MQA, 32 / 768 PCM, and up to DSD 512. And, of course, Roon with it's new 1.8 rollout is great to work... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly Just went with SMG i5 and opticalrendu package. Andrew is easy to work with and very responsive to inquiries. I'm simply waiting on the opticalrendu package to arrive so I can fire this whole thing up. | |
| Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2 Both of those amps are prone to extreme clipping. I would guess you fried the tweeters. | |
| Amp recommendations If you are hot for keeping those speakers then consider a Carver Crimson 275. Great value amp and change the stock signal tubes with some NOS tubes of your choice and you have a great unit that has you way under budget. | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? Check out Herbies Audio Lab. I replaced expensive Isoacoustics footers with Herbies giant fat Gliders and could not hear a difference at all. Much less expensive and the added benefit of being able to glide your speakers over the carpet if you w... | |
| Speaker suggestions under 4k If you don't like boxed speakers consider OB dipolars like the Spatial Audio M5 Sapphires. They play acoustic extremely well. And IMHO, get rid of the Crown. | |
| Do speaker wires matter Those speakers are pretty nice but you need a heck of a lot more than a vintage integrated with 26 watts to drive them. They are ridiculously low sensitivity. And, being a dipole speaker, room treatment and placement becomes even more critical. ... | |
