| Home theater and 2 channel setup from same speakers? @johns21 I am running a tube pre, and currently a tube stereo amp. The other HT channels I am using are on Class-D. I am seriously thinking of going Class-D on the main L/R pair. I am sure there are arguments both ways, but a tube pre and A/B ... | |
| Improve sound I'm (sort of) with @holmz . For $1k, I think you can make some sonic changes by replacing something, but it may be the sort of thing you like at first but then later realize it doesn't really allow you to enjoy the system more. You did not men... | |
| Improve sound I have a pair of martin logan 40i. Blusound node most recent version. Anthem mrx 720. I have the speakers connected with bi wire blue jeans speaker cable. The blu sound via optical cable. I have about 1000 dollars. What could I upgrade. Though... | |
| Home theater and 2 channel setup from same speakers? My 2 channel preamp has a bypass where the AVR/AVP plugs in, and those go out to the 2 channel amp when the preamp is off. When the preamp is on. Then I can select a CD or TT input. Of course one could just run the AVR/AVP into one of the preamp... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions I would appreciate suggestions for around $5-8K (table + arm), new or used. I will have separate budget for cartridge. One preferred option (but not must-have) is universal voltage, as I may move the unit to Europe later. My current vintage turnt... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up I am really sorry to hear your system requires such an extended warmup. For tube equipment this is simply rediculous. I have owned a PrimaLuna integrated amp for over 10 years in my home office. Ditto I may have never discovered it’s sweet... | |
| Power cable dilemma Well @jrimer if you are not keeping it, then someone else could see if it is also bad in their systems. How much do you want for it? | |
| VPI Scout 2 Tonearm There are always used arms, and just sifting through them for 222mm will make it easy. | |
| Hey Sota - Whatever Happened To Customer Service? I am not commenting on SOTA as I have not dealt with them or their web site. However, all measurements and weights should be in the spec sheet or on the web site. Measure and post once and it is done for life. Given the dimension gyrations we ... | |
| VPI Scout 2 Tonearm Schroder CB-9 is 222mm. | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions Korf has their new arm on pre purchase. I was leaning towards it, but a different came up secondhand… so more expensive (even used) but it is “end game” for me. One preferred option (but not must-have) is universal voltage, as I may move the ... | |
| Hey Sota - Whatever Happened To Customer Service? Pick up the phone and call them. Donna is very responsive. I find it helpful to remember that I'm not the center of the universe in situations like this, especially around the holidays when people are taking time off to spend with their loved ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused … no one could answer except the video guy in the back said he could see the 16k hz audio tone on his monitor. It just showed even in a room full of people who made their living with their ears adults typically can't hear 16khz. Thank god for t... | |

| Compare Bob Carver Black Magic 25 and Rogue Stereo 100? holmz the class D isn’t a sure bet either and saying it’s better than the rogue or carver is just speculation also True @invalid - but a $70 mistake is easier pill to swallow than a half attempt at a good amp. (And the OP is also spectulating a... |
