| Tube rolling suggestionsfor Musical Reference RM10 Roger suggests his own RAM Labs tubes, I didn't have the urge to try anything different when I had his gear several years back either...well, perhaps I had the urge but just felt it wasn't proper to try a different tube in his equipment. | |
| New level of ridiculousness ... "$8995 for a power strip?" ... My first thought was that carpetbagger in the white suit in "Outlaw of Josie Wales" who was trying to sell Clint Eastwood his special elixir and Clint taking that huge hocker all over his jacket lapel and asking ... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile What are the sources he has now? If he has lots of cd's and no vinyl or cassettes, then maybe you'd cut out the TT or cassette deck. Let's figure out what sources he'll need and then you can maximize the system. You can definitely get an awesome u... | |
| Amp for klipsch KG4 Sounds like a good plan for a 12 y.o. If he were older, I'd definitely recommend tubes and preferably a low powered single ended tube amp. You'd be truly amazed just how good Klipsch's can sound with low powered SE gear. | |
| Which system to buy Aragon forte or McCormack? I've heard the speakers you mentioned above but have only read about the amps. I also say your other post as well. I believe the Forte model 1a is a whole different animal (probably much improved)from the model 1 and the model 4 has a lot more cur... | |
| Need help in selling amp&preamp I agree with True and Tim. Since they haven't been used in 10 years, having a tech look them over to make sure they are operating properly will maximize what you get for them. I heard the amp (not the Gold edition) briefly many years ago. It was a... | |
| threshold fet 10 pc or CJ Motif MC-8 Sorry, I've heard neither one...aesthetically I like the Motif. Also it's much rarer as well. I tend to like rare audio gear. | |
| Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc.... before everyone chimes in on this spkr or that spkr, how bout sharing with us what the system consists of, the size of the room, how loud you listen and what kind of music you'll be listening to and your budget. That way you can get better suggest... | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? Remember it like it was yesterday. My daughter was born 20 yrs and 2 months ago. I had ProAc Studio 1's percariously perched up on spiked & lead-filled Chicago stands...would have to get rid of them as soon as she began to crawl and find some ... | |
| What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's I second Robsker's opinion, a nice tube amp or tube integrated will sound great on these speakers. A local Philly dealer used to pair the 1B's with the EL34 hybrid AMC CVT-3030 (30 wpc) and it sounded terrific. I used my 1B's back in the day with ... | |
| Vintage 80s speakers...retro system...your pick? have never heard Phase Tech but I loved those little Missions...always regretted getting rid of those little Missions | |
| upgrade my amp? For $3-4K as a budget, I would also consider revamping the speakers as well. Your ceiling is only 6.5' and you have tower speakers. I believe you'd have much better results sonically with a 3 piece subwoofer/satellite system (i.e. a really nice pr... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search After reading about 90% of this post, I wanted to weigh in on the discussion. Although this viewpoint is the minority, I have to agree with Ejlif & Fingerpaws...your not going to make an expensive pr of spkrs sing with an inexpensive amp but y... | |
| Shipping Speakers Here's what I do with monitor sized speakers:1. Buy the x-large heavy duty trash bags from Home Depot, lay the bag flat and gift wrap the speaker like you would wrap a gift;2. Buy solid sheets of styrofoam and place several inches of solid styrofo... |
