| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration FWIW, about 1.5 years ago, I bought a pair of 1/2" thick (8" x 8") cork to be used in the kitchen to put hot food on. Got them at either IKEA or Bed Bath & Beyond and didn't pay more than $10 for them I think. Several of these might be the ans... | |
| Great, Physically Unobtrusive High-end Speakers? Hi Ps,Looks like the problem is to narrow down the many choices that you have here. For starters, the MF120's you have are high powered tube amps so you can go with many different type monitor speakers. For me, I prefer the British sound in speake... | |
| listening in the dark? Sex is better with the lights on, listening to music is better with the lights off or dimmed | |
| High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS I agree, I would not touch the MFA gear it is classic tube gear and the preamp was especially very highly acclaimed. What kind of output tubes do the mono amps have? I am not as familiar with them, but remember reading incredible things about your... | |
| High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS My suggestion, from a habitual changer of gear every few years or less, is to make 1 change (just change the speakers if you are so inclined) and then live with it for a few months. Otherwise, if you make multiple changes at once, say electronics ... | |
| Best Amp for $300 to Power Paradigm Monitor 9s Yes, PS Audio too if you can find one. | |
| Best Amp for $300 to Power Paradigm Monitor 9s If you can stretch it, the Muse 100 is probably the best thing mentioned in this post. Although I've never heard one, the Sumo Polaris also supposed to be a very nice sounding amp. I think it's a mosfet design. Mosfet is where you will get the war... | |
| combination tube amp and ss preamp? Yes Yogiboy - the AMC CVT3030 is an EL34 output section with a mosfet preamp section...pretty nice int amp.I 2nd the other who prefer a tube preamp and SS amp. I ran a couple of B&K amps (ST-140 & EX442 Sonata) with a tube preamp (Music Re... | |
| Anyone still playing on Cassette decks? I now have a H/K TD392 and an AIWA ADF-660 both 3 head cassette decks, both picked up for a song and dance and also recently inherited about 500 cassettes too, mostly recorded, not pre-recorded cassettes. Now to find some nice storage racks for them. | |
| Need some All of the amps that I had recommended can do that or are very close and should match up very well with your speakers | |
| Need some If it were me, I'd recap the Hafler and spend the rest on a nice used tube preamp or seek out a B&K EX442, PS Audio 200C, Perreaux, or Acoustat TNT200 and tube preamp...I'd probably do the latter and seek out a new amp instead of recapping the... | |
| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice Re: your room - as a former property manager for many years, I used this home theatre product (Green Glue) in several different commercial and residential applications to deaden the noise coming from one unit to another. It was a very cost effecti... | |
| Hi Fi House liquidation Joe,If it's any easier for you, I'm off work tomorrow and live in Wynnewood. I have to go to Havertown tomorrow morning and could easily slide by Broomall for you, then meet up with you later in the day to give the items to you so you can ship. Ca... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile Thank you Pgawan2b, recently an old friend contacted me and told me her husband was looking for a pair of JBL 4311's on ebay and what I thought of it. He's an old school guy and has been out of audio for many years but has some nostalgia for these... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Another vote for MF.Back in the day, HiFi Heretic magazine listed the Music Fidelity B1 integrated amp as one of the 10 best buys in Audio along with the B&K ST140, Spica TC50s and I forget what else. Was lucky enough to find a B1 with an owne... |
