| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) You might be better off buying a decent CD player and just use your external DAC. Lot more options, new or used. | |
| Looking to get into tubes on the cheap You can find "tube" audio gear at any price ranging from under $100 to all your bank account. But if high power is not a requirement, there are some very good tube power amps or integrated amps for under $1500 new. Much more options for used. By t... | |
| 4 ohm speaker to 8 ohm reciver You can usually tell if the receiver/amplifier is straining by how hot/warm it gets during normal operation. As an example, I drove a pair of Magnepan MMGs - straight 4 ohm load, with an Acurus 100 wpc amplifier and only after 15 minutes the ampli... | |
| Pre amp with Dac NAD M51 is on sale at the Audio Advisor at almost half price. Sounds like a great deal for someone looking for a very good digital preamp. | |
| 804 d3 amplification "... McIntosh described as bright".First time I see McIntosh and bright mentioned in the same sentence. If anything, McIntosh piece could be too warm which I don't think will be the case with the 804d that is known to be a bit hot in higher octave... | |

| Speed Like everything in audio there are always tradeoffs that need to be made. I have three systems each with speakers with a different design; Martin Logan ESL, Vandersteen 2Ci, and a home made pair of back-loaded horns with full range drivers. The si... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. Given that by far most of the musical content is in the 300Hz-3KHz frequency range, one could surmise that the quality of driver which covers that range plays the most significant role in the ultimate sound quality that is heard, assuming all else... | |
| Duelund Capacitors?? Has anyone compared the Dueland JAM or the Jensen VSF with the Audyn Pure copper capacitors in general, or in the 0.1uf or 2.2uf values, in particular? I know there's a significant price difference but I'm more curious about the sonic differences.... | |
| Streamer/DAC and LCD TV Thank you. I was asking this question more broadly just to hear if an LCD TV in general could interfere with the WiFi signal coming into a streaming device or generate any sort of undesirable noise affecting the audio gear if they are placed in cl... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Rereading my own earlier comments about upgrades, I just want to add that my intent was not to advocate folks jumping in and start taking things apart and doing their own mods. There are significant voltages in play and mistakes can have some seri... |
