| FURMAN, PS AUDIO, ISOTEK?? The very wide and disparite opinions expressed about power conditioners of all sorts makes me wonder if you can say that they will upgrade your system in any general way. There are exceptions to this if there is a particular problem. For instance ... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin Not as cheap depending on your definition perhaps for $500 on the used market are the all copper braid trio, an entry level cable from Jena labs. These are just very high quality copper in a typical braid that happen to sound fantastic in my syste... | |
| System Update: Dynaco and ASL Congats on a good looking system. I would love to hear it. Would it be to much to ask how much they cost so we can recommend them to others or self? | |
| My 1st tube amp: transformer buzz audible 15 feet? Jaybo is correct times 3. You don't have to suffer in this hobby. In fact it should be outlawed. Nervosa maybe nothing worse. | |
| Which Lamm Amp for USHER BE-10 Whichever you like the most and can afford to buy. These amps are so much more money than Belles so I can't be sure if your dreaming or are for real. | |
| What speakers did you like w/ Cary Sixpacs? I would worry more about which speakers you have already heard and liked. You made the critical choice of using tube power amps which is a very good and you will see delightful choice. Any speaker that can run with that many watts, and they need n... | |
| Getting Into Analog-Vinyl For The First Time...... Assuming you sold the VPI ??? Then I agree the Rega has a long track record and a large list of admirers. I would add a Graham Slee phono stage to your choices but the Musical Surroundings again is very popular. I think it has a lot of options for... | |
| Considering buying new amp s Did you like the sound of the Butler if so the logical move is to get a 2 channel Butler. Otherwise you could with that vague request and fairly large budget go down the "amp of the month club" until you find the one you want. However if you alway... | |
| preamp - price vs age I add a vote for a the newer unit preesuming less hassels. | |
| Can anyone help identify these speakers? I like the ad on the "Titanium Super Bullet Tweeter" it does kinda look like a JBL 075.Could it be a pro stage monitor? | |
| Would I benefit from a headphone amp? I found that a dedicated headphone amp was a real eye opener using AKG 701s. This was a home based amp- OTL using 6080 NOS output tubes and one of my better 6SN7s as an input. It was not exactly cheap around $1500- But WOW what a difference. I ref... | |
| Ayon Triton for Wilson Duettes? No not at for a number of reasons. | |
| Who is using their receiver as a preamp only? Boat anchor the reciever and do yourself a major favor. You an get a Mapletree for under 1K and the AES AE-3 upgraded to the hilt both brand new. The AES will cost a bit than 1K I would chose either over a pedestrian reciver. That is unless you ne... | |
| Need integrated with LOTS of WATTS Yes I would keep that quality watt in mind not the number of watts. Many speakers will require power to sound their best but ban power really sucks. I had 4oowpc Monoblocks to which the olde addage goes if the first one sounds like crap why would ... | |
| Need integrated with LOTS of WATTS Look towards class D. |
