| Amplifier that visually matches Thorens TD-160 Not from the same period, but I think it matches the Thorens look. https://www.stereophile.com/content/cayin-sp-10a-integrated-amplifierThey make a few other models with wood chassis elements as well. | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? This thread seems like deja vu. I've heard $400 pairs of stand mount speakers that are superior to the Triton 7s...just my honest assessment. The Revel Concerta2 F36 are in another league all together, and they are Revel's entry level tower. They ... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? ^ Not to mention, changing the original cord won’t improve performance unless it’s corroded or defective in some way. If your goal is the placebo effect, you can get one of those quantum, tychyon manipulating, unobtanium pronged noise supressors t... | |
| Speakers are the first piece of the puzzle Speakers alter the sound more than any other component, maybe, unless we’re including analog sources. This should not be surprising, because the speakers must convert the electrical signals to sound waves through mechanical means. Thus, they disto... | |
| Brimar vs Mullard cv4003/12AU7 Call Andy at Vintage Tube Services and ask his opinion on the Brimars. | |
| hooking up subwoofer to 2 channel tube amp Keep in mind that some subs, including RELs, use the Neutrik Speakon connector for speaker-level inputs. Thus, you can't just use basic speaker wire. Other brands, such as Rythmik and KEF use regular 5-way binding posts. IMO, the KEF Q-series, sea... | |

| E-BAY and SHIPPING ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL That's the seller inflating the shipping, not eBay. | |
| hooking up subwoofer to 2 channel tube amp You need a subwoofer with speaker-level inputs. Then you simply run wires from your amp's binding posts to the sub's binding posts. This is actually a superior method of integrating a subwoofer vs the LFE sub outputs found on AVRs. Just a few bran... | |
| Sanity check on new system? I haven't heard the 803s, but from everything I've read, it seems they perform best with high power. My KT88 Cayin amp was modeled after the MC275 and has similar power. I don't think I'd want to pair it with B&W 803s, but if you already own t... | |
| Benefits of an external DAC I don't think it's the age of your ears. My ears are 33 years old and I believe my $8K system, not including DAC, is reasonably revealing. | |
| Downsizing Speakers in Main Listening Room - Your Feedback on Some options Helomech - thanks for the advice - I have seen several of the sealed cabinets in the bookshelf size but not in a floor stander. Any recommendations for either size ? Also not familiar with the "transmission line" style cabinet - can you recommend ... | |
| Sanity check on new system? I agree with noromance. These are fairly safe bets all around, but might not have the best synergy. If you want headbanging volume levels, you might be better off with a more powerful amplifier, maybe something with KT120 tubes. On the plus side, ... | |
| Benefits of an external DAC The tube DAC may be different but is not necessarily superior. Did you measure the frequency response? CD red book is the product of the largest research effort ever into audio reproduction, by one the worlds best physics labs of the time.The DAC ... |
