| Solid state power + tube pre or visa versa? I agree you have had plenty of good advice here and you're obviously an experienced and intelligent guy yourself. Lots of listening combined with patience and you will find a happy combination... Worse case you may miss the mark by a little, or no... | |
| Apogee Duetta vs Mangnepan 3.6r Good for you! Now send them to Rich Murry at True Sound Works, add $5K and you will have spkrs that out-perform most others at 2x - 3x the price... That's the potential you now have within your reach. Good Luck. | |
| Sub-Woofers how to power down I know how u feel "Destroyers of the Earth" is a tough nameplate to carry so I am always compensating for my hi fi indiscretions by being especially conscientious in most other aspects of my relationship with Mother Earth... | |
| Sub-Woofers how to power down I agree with both of the above replies... leaving a self powered sub on all the time is completely fine. Both my REL Stadiums have been, [aside from a few severe storms or hurricanes when turned off for precautionary reasons only], left on for the... | |
| Tubes In Preamp Power Supply...or Not? The tubes vs solid state debate never seems to end, which is certainly ok and serves to keep discussions like this always ongoing...Tubes in general tend to have a more fundamentally natural character to them than solid state. Yes, exceptions are ... | |
| Questions on KT150 tubes Congrats on the Primaluna as I'm hearing more and more great things about them. So much so in fact that a newbie friend of mine about to take the audiophile plunge has requested my help in putting together his first system and I'm probably going t... | |
| Laser recommendation for Spkr set-up? I understand where you're coming from as far as ultimately getting it right but for the eighty bucs you save so much time; not only initially but also with subsequent " tweaking adjustments". You can fine tune every experimental position to 1/16th... | |
| Laser recommendation for Spkr set-up? Bosch DLR130K. You can get it on Amazon around $80. Might sound a little pricey but it turned out to be the most important tool I've ever used in my listening room. Once you own it you will wonder how you ever managed properly without it. Precise ... | |
| Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps? Put your favorite EL34's into a Cary SA 280 V12 with a good recording and some great matching speakers and you will hear and feel the piano as amazingly live in your room. This Cary will go from ultralinear to full triode in 1/3rd increments ( on ... | |
| Best Preamp under 10K Another vote for TRL "The Dude". Single ended or balanced. Fantastic all tube pre-amp. I also happen to like Joule and Wyetech... | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 I had a brief listen to the Cad 805 in one of its earlier lives and it was certainly beguiling but as a V12 owner I can't sing its praises enough. So it runs hot... Its music IS "Hot". One of my favorite amps of all time and when you throw in its ... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? I don't think I could ever give up my tube amps (TRL GT 200's) but if I was forced to for some unknown bizarro reason (like ???) I agree that a hybrid such as the big Lamm monos would be the best bet for me...I've heard them sound very impressive ... | |
| Lampizator DAC Hi Joe, yes it's me. Give me a holler if you can. Great call on the Big 7!!! G. | |
| oppo 105d straightup You've heard some good answers...namely: for the price it does a good - very good job versus your system's level of sophistication. As for single box CD players you will probably have to add at least 2X-3X its price for a better stand-alone unit. ... | |
