| Ac cords or power conditioning first? A fourth for dedicated lines, quality outlets, then better cables. Power conditioning will probably not be needed. | |
| Music or Lyrics? Probably 90% of the time I hear the human voice as a musical instrument with almost no attention to the actual lyrics. Funny a few years a go my girlfriend asked why I spent so much time listening to sad songs. She thought I was so engrossed in th... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I have been using maple stands in various designs under amps, preamps, CD players, and speakers for a few years now. I have found I preffer maple to a few maunufactured brands including Sistrum. I just finished building a copy of Mapleshades 4" ma... | |
| Pre of three? I have the Cary and am enjoying it very much, it is a wonderful preamp. I have never heard the Mac or Juicy music. You can get a used Cary for $1,500.00 and get that or close to it if you don't like it and resell it, so your out very little to giv... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Chas,What is the verdict on the Mapleshade platforms? | |

| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? Clayton S40 50wpc ampYou can read what I said about the Wyred 4 Sound ST1000 540 wpc amp I have had for the last 4 months with my Gallos, it is in all respects a great amp, and sounds great with the Gallos. I am sitting in my living room listening... | |

| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? Dopogue,What do you mean "contoured brass washers" I get that they seperate the bases from the speakers by the thickness of the washer, but they are they something other than flat brass washers?Thanks,Russ | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Ozzy,I bought 2 and have had them by themselves or as a pair on every IEC plug. In my system it puts the treble over the top. Even just on the CDP which is where I started. FWIW I also tried heavy duty aluminium foil and it did the same thing. A c... | |
| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? Thanks for the info Dave. I am a carpenter/cabinet maker and I am going to make better stands anyway so the speakers aren't so easy to tip. I will copy Mapleshade and buy their footers. Russ | |
| Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going......... I turned 49 in February. I have been a carpenter since I was 18, and have always listened to pretty loud music as well. About 5 years ago really started to pay attention to my hearing. I have had tinnitus for a while too with more hearing loss in ... | |
| Tube amps under 1,800 for gallo 3.1's Him,I hope you will update this thread after you have had the Snappers for a bit. I am interested in how they work with the Gallos. | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? When I added dedicated lines I preferred the sound without a power conditioner, so sold my BPT 3.5 | |
| Tube amps under 1,800 for gallo 3.1's This is the 4th thread you have started asking about amps for these speakers. How much more input do you need? Buy a SS or class D amp and a good tube preamp which is what almost everyone has already suggested. Tube amps are not going to get you w... |
