| Know anything about Bruce Moore preamps? I owned and stupidly sold the Precision Fidelity C7 phono preamp. An excellent Bruce Moore design! | |
| I'm thinking about a low watt tube amplifier? I'd stick with the Cayin and Luxman amps. Adequate power - and plenty of tube "magic" - contrary to what some claim! Plus enough in reserve to handle music peaks on your 87db speakers! | |
| What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp? How about a nicely restored Hafler 220 amp? Plenty of power and quite transparent sounding too! BTW, I have the 110/220 pair in my collection! Plus the Snell E's! | |
| Magico's M9 I am eagerly awaiting Jay's Audio Lab review! Just the thing to use with his Transparent $80K speaker cables! | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @jerrybj : go ahead and laugh! At least I am not spending hundreds or thousands on power cords, fuses, ac outlets, cable risers and ac power conditioners. | |
| what speakers do you consider "energetic"? Vintage Altec and JBL have a particular synergy with 60's and 70's Rock! That's why I own them! | |
| Moving again...system finally complete...back to starting over The OP can easily pack his gear into six boxes. Plus a few more boxes for LP’s/CD’s. My move to Florida required 100+ boxes - and I still had to leave stuff behind! The cost from Connecticut was over $3K. | |
| Moving again...system finally complete...back to starting over @carlsbad2 :+1! That's a real nice system the OP has! Shame to sell it because of a move! Hire some movers to pack it under your supervision. Otherwise get a headphone amp and phones and forget about a nice system! When I moved south in 2015 I sp... | |
| Would my DAC matter? @yyzsantabarbara :+1! The software solution is the best way to do system EQ! | |
| Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics How about the ARC integrated tube amp! | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @facten : +1! Forget power cords as tone controls! Get a pair of powered sub's instead for a real improvement in bass response! | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 The LRS is a poor-sounding speaker - a highly colored far-from - neutral device. Go to Audio Science Review and read the test report. Unlike electronics speakers cannot hide from the measuring process (Klipple Near Field System). | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension Since a 14 gauge cord can briefly pass high peak currents there is no point in using an 8 gauge or lower power cord unless you are into welding! | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension @jhnnrrs : at last! Someone not afraid to speak the truth! The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should examine the spurious claims made by the power cord purveyors. | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension @invalid : my mistake! Actually a 14 gauge cord can pass lots of current - if only for milliseconds! It will get hot briefly! Enough to melt the insulation? Possibly! I wouldn't use it for arc welding! |
