| Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok? Get a Sony 595 as mentioned above with the TRL mods. They do come up used. I have a Sony 900s with the TRL mods and it runs all over the 5400 IMHO.. The Oppo 95 is also a better choice. I had the 5400 and it is OK, not great. | |
| Best Live Album Ever... Van is The Man! Love his live stuff! | |
| BPT 3.5, Audience aR12, or Equitech 1.5Q? I just purchased a BPT 3.5 Signature and I agree with all the positive posts. Improved bass, larger stage, more dynamic and the music flows with a natural ease that is very engaging. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? I do believe that AudiogoN is not what is was. The change in the site is one factor as well as the economy. No doubt in my mind that this site is NOT what is once was. It has hurt used sellers as well as builders. The sense of community and belong... | |
| To Power Down, or Not to Power Down Leave them on based on your post. You will wear out the tubes faster by powering them on and off throughout the day. | |
| Can 10W 300B tube amp drive Martin Logan Ascent i? No it won't is the short and true answer. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Yes, placement first. Correct amp to speaker matching is also a first step. After this, all systems should use the treatments outlined in my email. All systems will be improved greatly! | |
| need good solid state amp to match my tube preamp I will 3rd the CJ 2500a amp. Make sure it is an "a" version. Also suggest a Quad 909 for only $700 used. Last, a Belles Ref 150 or 350. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Inpieces said it very well. Get some GIK Tri bass traps for the corners of your room. They stack on top of each other and go floor to ceiling in the 4 corners of your room. In addition to these get one bass wall trap panel for the wall behind your... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes, I was also floored by this news about Paul. He has emailed me offline and I have always found his posts thoughtful and friendly. Goodness we will miss him. My sympathy to his family. | |
| Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp I would ask Paul as he knows for sure. The older GTP will not have his newer power supply. In the end only Paul could answer this question. | |
| Amp and speaker matching. Rrog is spot on. The 70 watt tube amp will work and produce nice sound, but the power reserves and headroom will not be there for complex and demanding material at higher volumes. The speakers will not sound as good as they could as they will be d... | |
| Sunfire Signature... what is this? Your new amp is very powerful and is of a different design then most SS amps. It does indeed drive difficult loads with its rated power into 8 and all the way down to 2 ohms.It drove my large and very difficult to drive Soundlab M1 speakers with a... | |
| Sunfire Signature... what is this? Yes you are 100 percent right. Send it in and it will come back better then new. I could not believe the improvement. Also get an iec and use a better power cord. Yours is the Sig 600 and I understand now that you already had lots of power before ... | |
| Sunfire Signature... what is this? If it says Signature on the back and has his signature on the front face as you say then it is surely a Sig 600. He did not make a Sig 300 etc....If the binding posts have the red and black plastic covers, then it is a first generation. If the sol... |
