| Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig? I use 3 stereo amplifiers, 6 floor standers and 3 subs. One preamp controls 2 Mac MC252 amps and the second controls an Anthem STR and 3 SVS subs.. Being able to control the subs separately really works great in my situation. | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Noticed in the thread, quite a few systems purchased overseas by vets. I would like to thank all of you for your service. Klipsch La Scalas in 1985 and I still use them today albeit modded to the hilt with Soundcraftsmen amp and preamp. Purchased ... | |
| Placement of Components One of the benefits of the Klipsch Heritage speaker line is that they are generally forgiving to these types of issues. Those Cornwalls will sound good whatever you do, so just enjoy the hell out of them. | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? I feel extremely blessed that all the people in my life important enough to care about, would love to get any piece of my stereo. It was important to me. It will be important to them. The equipment is just the more tangible part of our experiences... | |
| Basic question about power/watts It is called Headroom. Extremely important for my preferred musical experience. | |
| OMG. What now? Try addressing the music as you did the gear. Matching good music to your stereo and tastes can be as satisfying as the previous journey. The choices anymore are astounding. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Very interesting thread. My experience is that this all becomes moot when you start focusing on the quality and uniqueness of the music. After 40 years of system building I just said this is my stereo and here I stay. Mostly. The access to new and... | |
| New here and saying HI! Welcome to you. I for one will be interested to hear your input on gear but my main interest is in other's musical journeys. This forum can really churn out some interesting musical choices. What people listen to is far more interesting to me than... | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig When I finally reached that point of clarity that tells one that there is no such thing as audio perfection, I began chasing the important Dragon. The music. When I opened myself up to all music genres the magic really took hold. There is always s... | |
| Best XLRs under $500 a pair I have had my Audio Envy cables for a year now and am very impressed. Liked them enough that I bought them to use for my subs even. Lowered my systems noise floor to almost zero. | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Wharfedale Elysian 4 speakers look classy to me. | |
| Classical? Chinese Music This is the kind of post I really enjoy. So much music I have never been exposed to and what I have checked out so far has been exceptionally well produced. DaiQuing Tana and Haya Band are Mongolian I believe but absolutely beautiful music. An add... | |
| Another MC402 Question I ran 2 Mc402 amps with my Khorns and LaScalas for quite awhile. When I first bought them they were paired with an Accuphase c-3800 preamp and sounded dry and lifeless to me, Which is hard to do with 4 Klipsch Heritage speakers.. The Accuphase ha... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey The day I hooked up my Marantz 6300 TT to my Kustom 250 bass guitar amp and listened to Van Halens first album when it came out. Since those early days the music has always been a constant source of gooodness. Equipment wise it would have be the d... | |
