| Canton or ads small bookshelf spkrs? Which is better? The Cantons aren't sweet sounding and disappear like a good British 2 way speaker does. It's accurate, musical, and images very nicely, there's just something right about how it sounds.I should add that I'll be using them with a 100 wpc Tandberg ... | |
| The one that got away Over the years, several women gave gotten away, but only 1 audio piece comes to memory that got away. About 10-12 years ago, I was bidding on a custom pair of SE 6V6 tube amps from Canada. I never bought anything from Canada so I asked a ton of ... | |
| Speaker jumpers Get a 6 inch piece of Romex and use the copper ground wire, see how that works, costs pennies if you can't get one for free from someone. If you don't like it, just biwire your speakers, that is usually best anyway. | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp Any of the chip amps totally benefit by having a tube preamp in front of them to warm up the sound.Having said that I might have a tube preamp for you under $100. It is an Aric Audio preamp and has 3 line stage inputs. Is that enough for you? I... | |

| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Great thread Erik! I was 20 years old in 1980, so the 80s gear was my intro into high end gear having owned a Mitsubishi DA-R8 rec’r & B&O RX tt in the early 80s to owning a B&K ST-140, Music Reference RM5 pre & Rega Planar 3 by t... | |
| Preamp with Tuner I've recently seen two of the better models locally on CL in the Philadelphia area. Mitsubishi makes a really nice looking preamp-tuner as does Revox. Adcom also makes a preamp tuner, but I'd take the Mitsu or Revox in a heartbeat over the Adcom... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Kirkus - truly great thread here. Enjoying reading all about this 70's gear. This was a little before my time getting into high end. Back in the 70's, I was still with my HK 330c receiver not getting into separates until in the mid 80's.Actuall... | |

My systems, and I've been at this for about 30 years are always super musical and always way less then $10K. I'm a giantkiller type of guy, and love to put budget components together that sla... | |
| Tekton Pendragons - looking for low watt SET amp Do you know how loud 8 watts is? Back in the day, an elderly audio store owner in Philly used to have a watt meter hooked up for when us 20 somethings came in to hear music. The music would be blasting from a 100 wpc amp into some 88 db speakers... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Just read someone here on A'gon just scored a Counterpoint SA-20 at the Goodwill store for $150 - that was a $2K amp, was it not? That's a stupid good score - and it seems to work just fine too..... | |
| Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3 Yes, curious minds would like to know :) Interesting thread, I like reading about the Nait 2, I actually never heard one before but had a couple of Onix integrateds - the OA21s and the OA20/2 and they were both spectacular, often being called the... | |
