| MC2300 One of the all-time greats and possibly longest production super amp. They also hold their value: https://www.sothebys.com/buy/e6cc95bd-583c-41e6-8de8-b8290eb1fc0c/lots/5dc3cd3c-9c61-41d3-bef9-ae5bc71e8392 | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Make sure that any tube preamp that you are considering has an output impedance compatible with your amplifiers. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV12 vs. Audible Illusions Modulus 3a Edit: those tubes sound great (not "find" great) | |
| Conrad Johnson PV12 vs. Audible Illusions Modulus 3a Have had an Audible Illusions 3A forever--not bleached/thin at all. Hard to characterize the sound as it does so much right. Perhaps its greatest strengths are its truth of timber and rich tonal colors. Weaknesses are its high line stage gain and ... | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) ATC Active--but a smaller model (50 or 100) with a SWARM subwoofer system (http://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html) for better distribution of bass peaks and nulls. ATC SCA2 preamp or Benchmark LA4. | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Luxman and either Magnepan or Vandersteen. | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/electronics/amplifiers/integrated/sia2-100/ or, if you only need a power amp, http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/electronics/amplifiers/power/p1/ | |
| Drummers! Which amps do you use for best Timing & Dynamics? Add a Swarm: http://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html If it takes up too much space, audition the next two speakers up in the Neumann line—the 310 and 420. | |
| Any JBL 4367 owners or opinion? Following | |
| Quicksilver Preamps? Forgot to add—I went from Quicksilver 8417 amps to Silver 90s. Wish I had picked up a 190, 6C33C, and 120 monos—I obviously love Quicksilver amplifiers. They will drive anything within their power rating, seemingly immune to low impedance loudspea... | |
| Quicksilver Preamps? I started with Audible Illusions 2B ——> original Quicksilver Full Function preamp (better bass and dynamics) ——> Jadis JPL (bigger sound stage and more colorful) ——> Audible Illusions 3A (truer timber—I am apparently sensitive to this—not... | |

| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? Better understanding of the need for good power supplies and the application thereof. Also, good transformers have become more commonly available, if not used more. | |
| Preamp for ATCSCM40A Haven’t heard it but I’d like to hear the Coda 07x with the ATC 40a. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. @mijostyn—isn’t your system effectively active? Also, someone above stated he/she didn’t want woofers stuck where the active speakers were. You can still use a swarm with an active system. It might even help if your main speakers were less than fu... |
