| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? There are some great suggestions above. I especially like the Almarro and JAS amps mentioned.For less money than those though, I purchased the SQ-84 and really love it. It is a 10 watt integrated using two 6v6 tubes per channel with one input but ... | |

| Sound Quest SQ-84 Int Amp??? I own one and love it. I have listened to it with a variety of monitors and headphones. It is a superb speaker and headphone amp. Very few amplifiers can give the kind of palpable you are there sound that this amp can provide, even with low effi... | |
| Von Schweikert DB99 vs Consonance M15-thoughts? I have not listened to the DB-99 and M15 side by side. I have listened to them both though. I like the M15 better and feel it is a better value. I owned the VonSchweikert VR-4jr ($4000 list at the time) and, at the time, felt that the DB-99 ($1200... | |
| Cayin A - 88 T , sounds great but ... If you are still in the market I have an integrated that I recommend highly.I have been using a Sound Quest SQ-88 for quite some time (almost two years) with a variety of speakers (Von Schweikert VR-4jr, AAD 2003, Paradigm Studio 60 v2, et. al.). ... | |
| VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room I owned the VR-4JRs and have auditioned the VR-4SRs. The SRs are better in that they are more revealing of musical detail than the JRs and go much lower with stronger bass. I think either would work in your room but small to medium sized rooms nee... | |
| Best monitor under 5k? I feel that the AAD 2001 is an excellent monitor speaker. It is a Phil Jones design. To my ear, they have great high frequency extension that is non-fatiguing, and tremendous bass extension (if not weight as expected). The bass extension gives a... | |
| Tube newbie - recommendations? Naturally, I meant "Dynakit" not "Dnynakit". Sorry about that. :-}Enjoy!. | |
| how would an entry-level tube system compare? I have successfully mated the Sound Quest SQ-88 amplifier (55 watts using 2 KT-88 tubes per channel) with the Von Schweikert VR-4jr (89 dB) and the AAD 2003 (88 dB) among other speakers. The KT-88 tube has great bass control. The combinations abov... | |
| Tube newbie - recommendations? I have had great success with the Sound Quest SQ-84 tube integrated amp mated with AAD 2001 monitor speakers. On paper the mating makes no sense at all. The 2001s are only 86 dB speakers that are recommended to use with 50 watt minimum. The SQ-88 ... | |
| Zu on Zu Sean,Thank you for posting. | |
| The New Dynakit Stylinlp_38,I listened to the model 35 with the Omega Super 3 XRS speakers and the sound was wonderful.Porziob,Care to elaborate on why you feel this way? I don't know anything about Dynaco. However, after meeting the folks running Dynakit, I'd sa... | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Joe,Awe shucks (I blush) ... you flatter me! Thank you for the compliment. I just wish the reality of me could live up to your fanciful description. If I was what you say, alls I would need is to perform a miracle and sainthood would be assured. ... |
