| Need help from tube guys to select a tube preamp You got me there Mattybumpkin! I'am not sure but from trying it on several amplifiers it seems standard.I listen at 9'Oclock on the dial.Warning this isn't a fluffy preamp..if you want fluffy buy a Cary tube preamp.But if you are looking for a nat... | |
| Monster Cable does Power Amps,,,,,,,,,UH OH I have to give them two thumbs up on the power conditioners.Thats one product that really works.I've seen monster power centers in $15000.00 systems.But I'll agree the cables are garbage! | |
| Need help from tube guys to select a tube preamp I second the Dared SL 2000a preamp suggestion.At the price these little guys go for there's no competition! | |
| Modified Adcom 5400 or Stock 5500? Checkout some of the 500 series Adcoms .They will do a better job driving those Maggies than a 5000 series. The bipolars are better for low impedences and put out more current.Don't be fooled by the watts.Take for example the 5802 is 300wpc into 8... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. I second more power recommendations with a tube preamp.I just got my Maggies home after listening to them on a 60 wpc Adcom. Plugged them up to a 585LE Adcom amp only limited by how much current the outlet will give it! Using a tube preamp on the ... | |

| Do I turn off my tubed components during burn-in? Hello Meech ...I left mine on for a few days as Ecclectique suggests and the sound did improve.Now I just warm it up for an hour or so and let it rip!Happy Listening! | |
| Which is better 5802 or 585 Mono Blocs Wes..I think you are confusing the 565 monoblocks with the 585LE.The older adcoms with 3 digits use bipolar transistors.The newer models with 4 digits use mosfets.I've had the 5500,5503 here at home.And own the 585LE..which is the equal to a set o... | |
| Which receivers have decent stereo performance? No you want have too unplug anything.Run the interconnects from the preouts on back of the receiver to the inputs of the mono blocks.Take your speaker cables off the receiver and plug one into each amp . Your main speakers will receive the same si... | |
| Cable Suggestions Try some Acoustic Research directional cables from Bestbuy.com for around $13.00 a pair.Part numbers APO-30 and APO-31..take the rest of the money you saved and put it in some more sacds.Plug them up and be amazed at the perfomance!Good Luck! | |
| Which receivers have decent stereo performance? Well if you can use the Yamaha as a preamp for now.I would use a seperate amp or amps for the Soliloquy 6.3s.The speakers are so efficient the Yamaha doesn't sense a load so it want put out any real power.Two Monarchy SM-70 monoblocks used ($700) ... | |
| Dared SL-2000A tube preamp help Hello David,you should be able to run your left and right outputs of the 5.1 outputs to the inputs of the Dared if you like.I don't think it would make a difference.The Dared will use whatever analog signal you feed it no matter the sampling rate.... | |

| Matching amp/pre for Soliloquy 6.3 Maybe some Cary audio, Monarchy audio or Music Reference products.There's so much out there it would be tough to say what would be best.Good Luck! |
