| Amp for Magnepan MMGs The B&K EX-442 Sonata is a wonderful sounding amp in your price range that is extremely tube-like. It is 200 into 8 ohms and 360 into 4 ohms, 75 amps. IMO, sonically it is a definite upgrade from the Adcom if you like the sweetness of tube gea... | |
| Agree or Disagree? - FM tuner info site Interesting, so it all depends on a good alignment by a competant person? Not knowing how it works, I thought an alignment was an alignment. The Sumo Charlie just arrived and it's settling in attached to a pair of custom silver IC's...so far, so g... | |
| What are the Best FM tuners? I've had a lot of good tuners over the years and very soon I'll be getting a Sumo Charlie. I'm an analog tuner/tube and vinyl person but looking forward to hearing this tuna. | |
| Upgradeitis: New/used/vintage amp for KG4 Low powered single ended amps or a chip amp from Derek Sanderson of Fleawatt will make those KG4's sound the best. You never really heard what Klipsch's are capable of until you put really low power on them. | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Funny, I haven't heard anyone here talk about food tweaks so let me enlighten you fellow twerkers if you haven't tried this yet:Creamy Peanut Butter: Take 2 to 4 jars of JIF or Peter Pan put it in a large ziploc bag and place it underneath your cd... | |
| 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... | |

| 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. | |
