| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? A really good preamp is one of the most important parts of a system. I can still remember the first time I inserted a really good preamp, Air Tight ATC-1 into my system and being stunned at the transformation. As others have suggested a good pream... | |

| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @daveyf If you don't want to give up your Jadis amps you can use them with 6ca7/El34 tubes which will give off considerably less heat than the KT150's you're currently running. If however you want a totally cool running amp Class A/B SS would be t... | |
| I may need to join A'gon Anonymous (AA) I've been a New Today junkie since I first found Audiogon! However I will say lately it's not quite the same just because dealer ads are maybe 70% of what you see. I miss all the private ads from my fellow audiogeeks. | |
| Tannoy Monitor Red 15" set up I think both sets of amps would work great with your speakers yes. | |
| Power Amp You should check your line voltage if its running high that could take out tubes sooner. If you change your lightbulbs frequently that's a good indicator. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- LTA is a good rec but also smaller low powered amps won't heat the room overly much. My amps been playing for about an hour just held my hand over it and its barely warm. That's a 17 watt pushpull amp, a SET amp would also likely be cooler. How mu... | |
| I think is time for new speakers.. Some good recommendations above but you should wait to give your speakers away. For $800 even used dollars your DIY speakers may indeed sound better, worth a listen at least. | |
| Tannoy Monitor Red 15" set up Congrats those are awesome speakers! Lots of options to drive them tubes work well as does Class A SS. Do you have a budget? As far as the cabinets I hope member Islandmandan sees this he is a Tannoy aficionado and I believe built his own cabinets. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @charles1dad Always has fantastic opinions on tube amps in general and SET amps in particular definitely take his sage advice.@mozartfan a question is the Richard Gray the same Richard Gray that makes power conditioners? | |
| Old school speaker in new threads Those are very retro cool looking nonoise if they sound good too that's a great buy, | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner +1 sid42 we don't need this hear the real world is bad enough. And genez the real statistics are out there if you simply take the time to look. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? The SE300B is a different Jadis amp actually and it looks to be parallel single ended and not pushpull hence the lower wattage.http://www.jadis-electronics.com/en/se300b-43.php | |
| Poor Fritz Actually if you think about it say the drivers do cost $300, add in cabinet costs, just spitballing, $400, labor, overhead, etc you get to $2200 pretty quickly. A guy like Fritz doesn't have the economies of scale of a larger producer so those par... | |
| RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on? RIP Eddie and shred up there! |
