| Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... I have two amps -- Quicksilver Monoblock 60's and Pass XA 25. They're in regular rotation and both work very nicely with my speakers. The 6SN7 preamp is not something I feel inclined to rotate with my Quicksilver Line Stage. I have lost my taste f... | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track @akg_ca Thank you so much for your very informative post. I suspected this was the case, but given the relatively larger size of the actual tape in the 8 track (compared to cassettes) I was curious as to whether they had some advantage over other ... | |

| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k Maybe one of the "Transcend" amps, here — good maker, reputation, in your budget: https://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php Here's another nice option: https://www.erhard-audio.com/Elvis_MKII.html | |
| Recommendation for integrated amplifier for Paradigm Studio 20s v.5 I would not go all tubes for this speaker, given the impedance curve. I'd go hybrid, and would consider Rogue, Vincent in your price range. | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k OP: This is the data point I was mentioning, right after the word "minimum." This tells you that these speakers don't need 100watts and would be fine with a tube amp. Impedance: 8 Ohms nominal (minimum: 5 Ohms, from 150-250Hz) https://hifiplus.... | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k 93 db sensitivity? Depending on how much Fyne's impedance curve swings (i.e., is demanding on the amp) you don’t need anywhere near 100 wpc. I have 92 db Ascend Acoustics towers (92db) and my Mono 60 Quicksilvers handle them easily, and with sweet... | |

| A double bass is the best instrument to pair with vocals mellotron Also, you're not "trolling" -- more like trawling. | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? @j-wall Very helpful. I could get the PS Audio on trial, but it would be nice to measure first before laying down thousands. | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Back in the days of yore everybody used lamp cord - and nobody complained! Things were better back when we were more ignorant. | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? They have for me, and it’s audible. The technical details about copper and construction, etc. are interesting and relevant -- possibly. Why possibly? Because all these discussions about construction typically don't mention the more significant f... | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? @audiotroy You answered a different question than the one I asked. I asked about how a consumer could measure the existing noise on their home line and you posted that you had tested many conditioners and have dedicated lines. You cited me in yo... |
