| Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's friend of mine operated 3.6's with a Classe CA-400 with excellent results. Used a Melos SHA Gold preamp and Theta front end | |
| Two tube amps for your consideration please take a look at Glow Audio offerings as well though I think they are slightly higher in priceJeff | |
| Speakers for a 12 x 13 room I have had good luck with transmission line speakers in small rooms ... JM Labs Daline 6 and Konus Audio Essence are the two specific speakers | |
| Building Second System...which cables in my budget used Kimber PBJ RCA's and 4TC speaker cable along with a low end power cord from Kimber, Cardas or Signal Cable should come in around your $250 budget ... might be tough to find all used though | |
| Choosing the right Toslink cable have not tried the others but the VDH works great for me between my Mac Mini and Tact M2150 | |
| Best 6 inch speaker cable suggestions needed. find out what your speakers are wired with and use that or better yet, hard wire the speakers to the amp bipassing the terminals all together | |
| CD Player with volume control to drive my Nuforces If u want something that will not cost a fortune try one of the Dynaco players CDV-2 or CDV Pro ... vacuum tube output, analog volume ... very nice players but only available used and getting rare | |
| Linestage needed if the rest of your system is suitable, a passive linestage might work very well - TVC or resistive | |
| Looking for new speakers? u don't need to spend anywhere near $5k to get great sound in a room that size IMO | |
| 6L6 or 300B or 2A3? did not think they were that efficient ... I stand corrected ... if your room is big I still don't know if a 2a3 or 45 would cut it but worth a try I guess! | |
| Please help -- DAC newbie needs wisdom..... Devilsound DAC is very nice especially for the $$$ ($299 new I think) | |
| Speakers for bad rock recordings Epicure 20+ are really nice with older recordings ... air spring tweeters are pretty forgiving | |
| Looking for new speakers? Gradient Revolution, Carolina Audio JTM, Konus Audio Essence, Klipsch K-horn, or Cain and Cain WWWS ... 150w ss would be overkill for the last 2 though | |
| 6L6 or 300B or 2A3? not sure that a 2a3 or 45 tube amp (unless it were a PP or parallel SE amp) would be enough wattage for the Cicada. If I remember correctly these are @ 90db efficiency. If your room is small it might work fine. 6l6 is a nice tube though as well ..... | |
| 6L6 tube recommendations requested I use Sveltlana 6L6GC's in my amp ... very quiet and dynamic |
