| Tube preamp recommendation for a simaudio 760a amplifier I have two friends who use Audio research tube preamps with their Sim moon amps with great results. | |
| High Pass Filter for Mains you may also want to consider acoustic treatment, IE bass traps to help control bass nodes etc. | |
| Vintage Turntable Recommendation I'd be searching for a Vintage Audio shop and see what they have in stock | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer I’ve have similar experiences with my Apple 4k tv streamer (DAC via HDMI) beating many dedicated streamers when using the Youtube and tidal app on it. sure its only cd quality but it seemed to best the Roon Nucleus and an Aurender A10 I had and so... | |
| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? 2A3 over 300b for me. 45's even better but you don't have the efficiency for them. | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? few tips from another person who is/has run hi efficiency speakers. The power is fine for the Klipsch's more then you will need but not excessive. The first issue you may encounter; Is your system quiet enough for the speakers? Took me a while... | |
| Planning a vintage setup Wow time flies, I would never have considered Ayre vintage but looking them up they have been around 25 years now wow. | |
| REL S510 or S812 I’ll bet a sub for music would be a waist as those speakers already go down to 22HZ. If I was you I’d live with them for a while and see if you really need sub/s and for what application? my bet is you will only want them for movies if at all need... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @glennewdick Just saw a near-new MC275 for sale in silver. Never before saw a silver Mac component in 40 years. So that would be a candidate at $5250. Every 275 I've ever seen is two tone sliver (polished stainless) on the top front and part o... | |
| must you play music to break in tubes only time I've seen a crackling sound being normal was when small bits of particles get trapped in the tubes plates during construction/shipping, a hard tap with the back end (handle end) of a screwdriver can dislodge the particles and return to n... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 The McIntosh MC 275 is a 75wpc tube amp that is a fully balanced design. Should be enough power for your 92db, 4ohm speakers. they are available used in under your price range maybe even a deal new. I’d stick with the newer ones though and consid... | |
| Tri-Art Audio Open 5 open, baffle speaker. sauniq: nice to see another happy open 5 customer. I really like mine as well. My bet is they would sound better on the Accuphase gear then the tri-Art amp. I run mine on McIntosh gear and they sound excellent. Note after opening up one of... | |
| Fuse for Parasound JC 1 monoblock "jaymark 489 posts 05-10-2024 at 05:50am @glennewdick but think of those enhanced sonics you would end up with???" sorry snake oil to me, I've never heard a difference in fuses, at least the ones I've tried. don't even get me started on direc... | |
| Shipping company recommendations for large speakers? try a moving companies drop shipping option. I've use Day and Ross a few time to move large heavy speakers. last ones were some that were 250lb each they came put them on a pallet and shipped them. no issues at all and I didn't have to lug them an... | |
| Nagaoka MP11 GOLD info… recommend you upgrade to a newer Nagaoka if you like the Nag sound, the MP110 is the replacement but to be honest the MP200 is a better cart for not much more. the MP 500 even better but quite a bit more $. |
