| Does JBL get a bad rap? My Brother has a pair of Century 100's that he loves, according to him he "couldnt justify spending $4500 on a pair of Harbeth SL5's" and the sales guys in the store agreed! IMO All you JBL lovers need to move on.... LOL. That's IF you have good e... | |
| JL Labs vs. REL I stand firm that all these new REL'S S, R, series, don't hold a candle to what they made 10-15 years ago...this new shiny piano black finish with smaller parts all around and not nearly the quality or the weight of the older series, this is why I... | |
| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation O that's not true....I listen to very simple acoustic to solo piano and jazz and rock and classical...name a classical musician from old and I have it on vinyl. My point is: That a lot of people will obtain very high quality gear/sound and they do... | |
| anyone tried psvane 12at7 The tube you should be buying for the Atmasphere is the Mullard CV4024 / 12AT7, this is a NOS tube from the UK. Beautiful sweet sounding with great midrange and all around performance. 12AT7's are cheap right now. A pair is around $100. | |
| Best amplifier for magnapan mg12. the Maggies have 86db sensitivity and 4ohm resistance. You could use almost anything except low watts, tube or solid state. These Maggies I suspect will dip down to much lower impedance like 2ohm or .5 ohm! So a amp that is stable down to 2 ohms s... | |
| Ortofon Red on Thorens TP16 tonearm At least upgrade the wiring to the turntable. And replace the power cord as well. This is a must for all old tables anyway. It will prove itself with great results. Lower mass arms are not always better. Cartridge matching would be critical IMO. | |
| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation My experience with a lot of people that listen to low watt tubes with high sensitive speakers is that most don't turn it up very loud. In fact they listen at a very low level a lot of the time. This is not me. And I would love to hear some example... | |
| Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear McIntosh, Since the 1st day I laid eyes and ears on a complete system in 1977, when I was twelve years old! | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help I think you should check out the LSA brand of Amps(Statement). Also Ayon makes a tube Integrated The Triton earlier gens go for a lot better prices used. Both of these can drive your speakers no problem. LSA is a hybrid Tube/SS design, 150/300 wat... | |
| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation I don't like low power tubes with high sensitivity speakers,the sound is not heavy or visceral enough for me. I find the combo of a tube preamp with solid state power provides the best of both worlds. If you like to listen loud and FEEL the music ... | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 They have a Brand new un opened REGA RP6 with Exact Cartridge and the upgraded power supply for $1500 on this site right now! That is a awesome deal! I might buy it myself ROFL. Ask anyone you cant go wrong with a REGA they are solid, great soundi... | |
| Ortofon Red on Thorens TP16 tonearm "This arm isn't good enough to justify spending on the higher priced cartridges"......... I find this is not true If you have upgraded the tables wiring and possibly rewired the TP16 also. This Arm can then be used with the cartridges mentioned an... | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 You might find a used REGA RP6 for that price, otherwise go with a REGA RP3 and put the extra savings into a better cartridge for it. I use a RP3 with my McIntosh/Dynaudio system and it is awesome! | |
| JL Labs vs. REL I wouldn't buy a REL because they have really gone DOWNHILL since the Britainia series (B1, B2, B3). Go with the JL sub. |
