| Phono preamp to amp question If your phono stage doesn't have a volume control and you go directly from that into an amp then the amp will be playing at max output because you don't have anything attenuating the signal coming from your phono. If you are talking about going fr... | |
| Phono preamp to amp question David, it is still not clear how you plan on controlling the volume if you bypass the integrated amps pre-amp section. My integrated amp has this feature and it is called a home theater bypass and is a line-level input that requires volume control... | |
| Ayon Triton the best tubes amp in the market? It would be interesting to know if anybody has heard Ayon against the new VAC sigma integrated (also about $10K) and how they compare. | |
| Just bought Martin Logan Vantage speakers. It has been a while but I had a very bad experience with an NAD receiver and then with the difficult process of getting it replaced. That being said, the NAD sound was quite good for a receiver. Someone I know was just telling me how much he loved... | |
| Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there? Congrats. A review once you have everything settled in would be great. | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? "I wonder if we have a unique psychology?"I notice the funny puzzled looks on peoples faces when they see my turntable, tube amps, and speakers. They look at me like I am crazy. The only other non-dealer, non-equipment person I have met that might... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used It must be important for companies to protect their distributors and their territories. It has to be worthwhile to promote and support products that are sold though developed dealer networks. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry I LOVE going to Chastain. Great venue always made a blast by inappropriate, stupid people - guaranteed. It is actually a phenomenal place to go see a concert but you have be in the right "frame of mind", along with some awesome food, beverage, and... | |
| Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps??? I was led to believe that better performance from separates could be achieved with being able to better split up and manage the power supplies. Not sure if that is true or not. In a general sense, it is always better to have more options so the mo... | |
| Where to go after Devore Fidelity Super 8's I have heard the devore super 8, nines, and own the silverbacks. At each step, the bass weight provides an improvement. I was originally on the fence about the nines vs. the silverbacks but I am glad that I went with the no regrets line of reasoni... | |
| Smashing Pumpkins reissues I just did a sxs with siamese dream and the newer one is VERY nice. It is an excellent pressing and has more detail and depth than the original, more focus. This will surely be my goto version. | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super I buy my tubes from Jim McShane, he is great to deal with and provides top notch service. I just received a back-up quad as the set I am running now have been at it for over 1 year in my amp. I think you will find that they will work pretty well o... | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? I do believe that there is a break-in for new speakers and sound will improve as you get more hours on them. If it is fairly convenient, play your speakers at a fairly moderate level when you are not actively listening that will of course speed up... | |
| Smashing Pumpkins reissues I think mellon collie is going to be reissued next year. I paid dearly for one of the 20K originals and it has been worth it. I think it might be the best LP that I own - I don't know if it is because of it being rare or what, but I love the SP an... |
