| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Son of Ampzilla. 80w/ch. 8ohms. All transistor. Almost 30 years old. Used around $250. My speakers are around 89db efficient. I love this amp. How can one old box produce sound powerful AND revealing? Very tight bass control. I listen to mostly cl... | |
| Somebody Help Convert me to tubes Get a tube preamp, keep the ss power amp. Cary, VAC, ARC, Mac, etc. get an amp from a company that has been around for awhile as it seems a lot of hifi equipment companies come and go. In the past, there have been posts about matching a tube pre t... | |
| 1970's Audio Research Equipment, worth having? Thanks for the info received so far. It is interesting how even a well respected company can bring out a new product that is not an improvement over past models. ARC has been around for a long time in audio terms. I wonder how many companies today... | |
| Your First System 1971. Pioneer 626 receiver, dual turntable and Electrovoice speakers (cann't remember the model number). I told my wife that it would be a system that would satisfy me for a life time. I was mistaken. | |
| Need some experienced ears to grow my system A tube pre-amp with a ss power amp will give you a warmer sound. J. Gordon Holt, at one time, thought that a tube pre with a ss power amp was the way to go. The bottom will remain tight, but the highs and mids sound less harsh. I have this set-up ... | |
| Older higher end or newer mid-fi...better bargain? Items with moving parts, given time, will break; (i.e. tape decks, cd players, turntables). I have always bought this new. Items without moving parts will last longer (amps and pre amps). I have always bought these used. Used speakers will reveal ... | |
| Anyone else feel left out? Thanks to everyone for the recommendations and reactions. Every field of interest has participants that are willing to invest heavily in the quest for the best. Still and all, the inital investment in even a middle fi system can be daunting to non... | |

| Tube Newbie "Scott Nixon Tube DAC", put that into Google and see what people are saying. It may be an inexpensive, yet successful, solution. | |
| Are Preamps necessary? With the Yamaha equipment, you will never be at the symphony.Sorry. | |
| need tube advice from tube preamp owners. Inexpensive tubes: try some JAN's (joint army navy)Mid price:Electroharmonix, JJ/Tesla.Expensive: Don't know, I don't buy them. | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? If I had a SS main that wouldn't accept a Tube pre, I would get rid of it. | |
| Modding Hafler Amps? Something I should have mentioned in my original post. If they are not soldered in, VERY CAREFULLY remove each mosfet and clean the pins. Of all the things I did to improve the sound of my old DH 200, I don't think anything I did made as big a dif... | |
| Modding Hafler Amps? Pooge. If you are a DIY type, you may want to get ahold of the POOGE articles from Audio Amateur. | |
| Better SS amp than my Bryston? No. Respectfully, No. |
