| Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp this may sound like a funny suggestion but can i recommened something vintage? maybe somethng to change the mood in this set up. Look for some vintage A/D/S three way design speakers. They are all quite good and well within your budget. I think ... | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. why do you need the second preamp? why not run the passive directly to your amp? | |
| NEW FTC Amplifier Law it seems to be a good thing keeping all the manufacturers marketing sections in check from scamming us. There are enough people out there that have no idea what numbers they are looking at, and at what reference those numbers are held. Just hang ... | |

| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. its also the demographic that can afford most of the stuff we call audiophile equipment. Also Audiophiles have made a bad name for themselves with their silliness and absolute snobbery to younger generations as a whole, not everyone of course but... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Personally I like a head amp/phono stage with LOMC over a SUT. A good gain stage to me sounds better then a SUT.

But the advantage of the active system is you get a tuned amp-speaker combo that's been optimized for the drivers and cabinet combo. If done right that can out perform passive set ups. you just loos... | |

Few I tried were just side steps for a slight different sound. Your going to have to spend upwards of $3000+ to get any re... | |

| SME 3009 II (improved) won't balance with Shure V15 III I always thought the V15 was ok on the original SME 3009 but the later versions ie improved were not a suitable match. I'd double check the compliance charts to make sure your in the range. | |
| Is there a way to stream You-Tube music into a digital amp? grab an Apple tv box and DL the YouTube app and stream away. can output HDMI and if you find an older 4k unit it also has optical out. I've used one for years to stream YouTube, tidal and every other streaming service available on apple devices.... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes In the end of the day you can always add an outboard transformer (Autoformer) to help with impedance matching issues when using either of these. This can help with the really low impedance of Magi's and some ESL's. This should be fine with your am... | |
