| Klipsch Forte IIs, which amp? This past week I heard the Klipsch Forte III's w/a new Luxman SQ-N150. It's a 10 wpc push pull tube integrated w/four EL-84 pentodes and 2 ECC-83 tubes. Great full sound from the setup. | |
| Rare find Blowtorch Audio Preamp How similar sound wise is the Blowtorch to the JC-1? | |
| Rare find Blowtorch Audio Preamp I called them yesterday and they confirmed the price was 10K. For those that heard it how does it compare to some of the higher priced preamps on the market. | |
| Rare find Blowtorch Audio Preamp I'll be stopping by Fidelis in Nashua NH next week to pick up a few more records. I'll ask. Wondering if anyone has heard this preamp or owned one. | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 You don’t need to buy a preamp. The Luxman 509x can act as a preamp too. Check your manual for the setup. | |
| MQA Stream into non MQA DAC I have an RME-ADI2 DAC which is non MQA. Don't miss MQA at all. | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 The Luxman will be fine. However the 803 D's can be quite finicky in their setup. Make sure you can get a home demo before purchasing. | |
| Can I use 2 two channel amps to run a 3 channel system? leaving one side of an amp unused I've been doing this for years. I have a Bryston 2.5 SST2 for the Aerial 5T's and an old 200 wpc Forte 6 using one channel for the Aerial CC-3 center. It's been powering the center for close to 10 years. | |

My TT sits on a heavy 3 shelf MDF audio rack w/metal screw in poles. The feet are spiked . The floor is carpeting w/a cement base. My neighbor is the Apartment Laundry Room. There seems t... | |
| Metal cabinet speakers Not sure but I think the Paradigm Personas are. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I have Aerial 5T's and they are excellent in my apartment. They were mentioned earlier. | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) My dealer recently had his annual spring audio show. He had the Forte III's hooked up to a new Primaluna EVO 100 integrated an EAT C-Sharp TT w/a Jos.No5 cart and a Luxman E-250 phono. They played some Stevie Ray Vaughn and this system really rock... | |
| Buy a $40,000 10 year old amp for $4,000 or new amp for same money? I found it humorous. I'm in retail and I have lots of customers that can't figure out 40% off. Actually I've made money on older amps. I had a Forte 4A amp I bought for $499 and sold it about 8 years later for $750. | |
| Buy a $40,000 10 year old amp for $4,000 or new amp for same money? Opps! Hey I had to go to Summer School for Algebra. But if you want to see one section of audio gear that drops like a stone. Look at AVR's and AVR processors. I still have a Krell Showcase in my system. Could get about $400-$500 for an original p... | |
