| Integrated Amp Curiosity I'm a big fan of Anthony Michaelson whom created Musical Fidelity. Now the Chinks own it, but much of the gear was being made in China anyway. For me reliabilty is very high on my list and MF will always deliver. They are a very underated company. | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? Thank the Green New Deal (Scam). I got a fantastic deal on some used gear. Thanks, Crooked Joe! | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? There ain't no romance without finance and there ain't no replacement for displacement. I would create a top notch system around a big tranny amp, like Bryston etc., 700w plus. You can use a tube pre but a top notch tranny pre will be double or ... | |
| I could have started this on the cables thread.....but.... There has never to my knowlege been any sound quality issues with RAL cables. I own a RAL umbilical for my MF Titan power amp, It's excellent. You should be careful handling them because they are solid silver and cryoed and can break if you twis... | |
| The importance of the wall plug Your explanation, to me, is not clear. Have you broken the cable plug earth pin in the wall socket? Are you looking for a new cable plug and a new wall socket? I'm currently running Voodoo Cryo wall sockets and they are great value with excelle... | |
| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. My dealer recommended Nordost to me, I needed two sets, eight jumpers in total. The Valhalla II's were about $2900 a pair and the Reference about $900. If I only needed one set I would've gone for the V II's but I was shocked how good the Referen... | |
| Using non-terminated speaker wire? WBT silver angled connectors are really easy to fit and great sounding. It's recommended to crimp the cable ends before inserting them in the connector but I've used bare wires with great success. Tinning the wires is not recommended | |
| Picking a power amp Others have recommended ATC, why not have a look at the ATC active speaker range. Big savings on amplifiers and speaker cables. Just a thought. | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? "I’ve got nasty habits I take my tea at three" Gotta be a Brit to get this....lol Live With Me, The Rolling Stones. "But I can still paint the town All the colour of your evening gown While I’m waiting for your blonde hair To turn grey" Mick ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Mick Taylor first album Japanese Edition and "Listen to this Ronnie" (Reagan) Live bootleg, great sound quality, both on regular CD. | |
| Anyone have experience with the new ATC active bookshelf speakers? I demoed the SCM 80 Passive at home before deciding on the SCM 100 Passive, the SCM 150 Passives were just too overwhelming in size. ATC speakers are one of the few companies out there that can really handle 1000w+ amps with aplomb. Very reveali... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? It affected me until I changed my speakers and my house. | |
| Cryo treatment? Cryo is a bit of a "pot luck" thing because there isn't any regulation or standard governing it. However, I've had excellent results with Voodoo cables cryo wall sockets and 20/15 amp connectors, so I imagine their cryo cables should be equally a... | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers @imjerrys I prefer single wiring with jumpers. Follow the recommendation of Merlin's Barry Palkovic, connect the single-wire cable to the speaker's tweeter/HF connections, and use jumpers to the bass/LF connections. This works for me. Honestl... | |
