| Hansen Prince & tubed amps What is their impedance curve. If it is highish and stable 40 watts should give you sufficient volume. If they bounce down to 3 Ohms and lower you have cause for concern. | |
| Opinions on what to upgrade first; speakers or DAC Getting the best speakers that you and only you prefer is the usually the thing to do. It is the last interface beside the air waves pulsing in your general direction. | |
| LP pressings from other countries? I bought a Van Morrison alblum from Australia and it was thinner than the thin period we had here. I thought it was a fake but I found out that was real and truly Australian. It was far from great. German and Brit pressings are good for classical,... | |
| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp @CmalakAt one point in the history of audio there really was a struggle to get enough watts out of an amp to provide enough power to the speakers of the day to get sufficent volume.

| Speaker cable recommendation McCormack/Maggie Can you do your own shielding of some sort. Wrapping the already shielded cable in some dielectric tape then build a farrady cage so to speak out of a conductive material tape. Or would that just backfire? I don't know> | |

| Help. JSE Infinite Slope speakers????? Why not ask Joseph if they ever made such a model? My very limited understanding is that there is more than one manufacturer of infinite slope crossovers. | |
| Hovland HP 200 vs. Cary SLP 05 I really like the Cary House vsound and the fact that this is a 6SN7 based pre makes it a top candidate for tone control. Tube rolling 6SN7s is easy with tons of older tubes floatimg around. Getting really good ones may be hard but you can get a g... | |
| rogue dronus magnum issues That is quite a cute slip of the keyboard there. An amp named Dronus wouldn't sell any better than an an amp named screech. | |
| Anyone with W4S amps and preamp I am unsure what your question is. Are you only asking for the W4S preamp and amp combo or any pre used with a Class D amp? | |

| Mapletree 4SE w/PS2 Users describe strong/weak pt If you need to add mass, have the pre made to accept monster brass footers, like the Edensound Bearpaw or the briefly produced "Fat Bastard" which I use. Otherwise get the commercial varieties around. The very Expensive Mapleshade products to the ... |
