| older CD transport vs newer ones. I tried several transports connected to my dac, including a friend's mega $ transport (can't remember the make/model). I agree with sns: my cd rips played from my computer's hard drive sound better than the cds played from the transports. | |
| amplifier with volume control Many thanks. I'm going to try an amp with the volume control built in (my tech has an amp for sale with this). This is a passive configuration and I would hope that, all things being equal, that having the attenuator built into the amp would be a... | |
| amplifier with volume control many thanks to all. I appreciate the advice regarding an active preamp, but for now I have decided to eliminate the active preamp - I have tried several and have found a direct connection better - but that does not mean I will not try one in the ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity My tech disconnected the tweeters and placed the speakers with the tweeters facing the outside - they sound and image much better. | |

| change amps or speakers Yes Mike mentioned Klipsch right off the bat. Are any of you familiar with the various models? | |
| change amps or speakers I'm back - was going to go the preamp route but I spoke with Mike at QS and he said the older M60s are a complete no go with the ETs - they are way to inefficient. He said doesn't matter whether the speakers are 8 or 4 ohms with the M60s, but to l... | |
| change amps or speakers Thank you. Looks like I will need an active preamp no matter what avenue I decide to take so I will try that. Any suggestions? I can start with the quicksilver line stage - others I see on the gon that are highly touted is Don Sachs and Backert... | |

| change amps or speakers Actually I have never heard them at their best - I purchased them upon the recommendation of a tech - a local guy that works out of his house and would come to my home. Issue is I put some serious $ with that tech into modding the quicksilvers - a... |
