| best preamp under 4000 to match 4b sst A few questions for you first:Is your budget $4,000?(I assume you mean USD, or is that in Euros?)Do you prefer new or used?Do you want tubes or do you prefer solid state?Do you need just a line stage, or do you need a full function preamp? (i.e. o... | |
| Shelter 90x on a Systemdek IIX ? I have owned, and really liked, the Shelter 90X, (although it was on a Basis 2001, with a Vector arm). It is a great cartridge, and quite the bargain actually. It has incredible bass response, (tight, quick and deep). The mid-range has a nice touc... | |
| Best redbook CD player I too recommend the Resolution Audio Opus 21.(Jeff Kalt, the owner/designer at R.A. is a great guy, and will bend over backwards to help you should you even need it!) | |
| 12v triggered outlet? Thanks Mitch2!(And I did get your email. Actually, I had emailed Lamm something earlier this week too, but did not get a response from them, which is quite unusual, as they usually respond fairly quickly. Perhaps they thought your email was a foll... | |
| 12v triggered outlet? I am in the exact same boat as Mitch2, as I don't want anything between my amps and the dedicated power outlet.(And my Ayre K-1xe is always on, and all I have to do is unmute it, to bring it on-line.)(And, I can't imagine that any of these sort of... | |
| Replace au24 speaker cable??? Well, I too have just upgraded beyond the AU24 speaker cables. (Seems like a lot of us have upgraded from them recently.) Before I state what I moved up to, I should state that I believe the AU24 speaker cables are very good speaker cables, especi... | |
| 12v triggered outlet? Thanks for starting this thread, Programmergeek.(Interesting moniker, btw).I too want to have a remote (or even a wired) 12V trigger to turn on my Lamm M2.1 amps. They are wired for such a trigger, but my Ayre K-1xe does not have such an output.An... | |
| Parsifal Ovation VS Egglestonworks Andra II I have not heard the Ovation speakers, but I do use the Andra II speakers with the hybrid Lamm M2.1 monoblock amplifiers, the predecessor to your M2.2s. I have now found the speakers that I plan on living with for a very long time. :-)(Much like I... | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? Well, since you asked, for me it would be:Resolution Audio. (Providing free service to fix a problem, albeit a minor one, for an Opus 21 cdp, that I had bought used no less, puts Jeff Kalt as a truly stand up guy in my book!) So Kudos to R.A.!!!!I... | |
| What 6922's tubes are you using in your lamm s ? Nolitan,I use the Amperex Pinched waist 6922 in my Lamm M2.1 monoblock amps, and my friend also uses them in his Lamm M2.2s. These are rather expensive, and tend to run between $300-500 for a pair. (I used to use Amperex 6DJ8 Orange Globes, which ... | |
| Grammys-Best Rock Instrumental- RUSH Bill, I must disagree with you.I believe that the Grammys are a BAD joke. | |
| Eggleston Andra power requirements Ero,With that budget, assuming that you can buy used, and that you wish to stick with tubes, I'd recommend the VTL MB-450 monblock amps. (Used prices are around $4-5K). These have enough power to drive the speakers with authority, and control the ... | |
| Eggleston Andra power requirements What is your budget? | |
| Information about Martin Logan Sequel II What do you mean when you write ".... or a problem in the built in amp ....."?There is no built-in amp on the Sequel II speakers, (i.e. these are not active speakers). Do you mean the crossover?(The fact that you plug in the speakers does not mean... | |
| Disney Digital 3D- Bolt I saw it last weekend too, but my wife picked the one theater that was showing it in the non-3D version. Argh!!Oh well, it was still a cute movie for kids and parents. |
