| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Look at the Sanders Sound Systems Magtech amplifier . He makes very high current amps. The suggestion for a Krell was good but probably better if you get an older Krell that has been restored. Use a newer processer as a pre amp that can accept... | |
| Audio advisor and Constellation amplifiers I have just spent an hour or so looking at the AA offerings. They are doing a sensible thing by having gear at multiple price points. There is not really good reason they shouldn't . It is a survival strategy. If the lower priced stuff is rout... | |
| 6922's Replaced......It was time. I am glad you got the right tubes for you preamp. The question of how many hours of use you can put on small signal tubes before replacement in your experience of 2 to 3,000 hours is important as this information is not that easy to come by.The n... | |
| Amp for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE Unfortunately it seems like you'll need a tube amp for mids and treble, and a powerful, class A, SS amp for bass. If I had to choose only one, I would get the biggest tube amp, that both sounds good and is affordable . You might want to add that... | |
| Need help...Rotel or Parasound amp for my Vandesteens model 2 sig? If saving money is your first priority then pick the least expensive and see if you like how it sounds. Otherwise you haven't said what you like in terms of sound quality. The "best sound" is entirely subjective and is only an opinion, your opin... | |
| Phono cable - necessary? Without the physics or EE principles of any sort, I went with small diameter silver. I used Home Grown cable's Silver Lace (1 M) for years and generally recommend such cables. I had 2 systems with TTs and used Silver on both, with I thought, g... | |
| Headphone Amp Question Most headphone amps are freestanding and have a volume control. I don't know if there any benefit in running the signal through a pre and a headphone amp, prolly not a good idea. The problem you face is figuring out how to get your CD player out... | |
| Be honest please I don't look down on people finding gear at low or no price.In general, however, bragging is not a pleasant behavior to endure. | |
| Headed to New Orleans The Esquire video embedded in the review made me want to book a flight. Not for the music, for the food. Now I am frickin Hungry for some red beans and rice LOL! | |
| Dynaudio c4 signature & c4 platinum difference I still wonder why the baffle is wider than the cabinet. What is gained using this approach, beside mounting larger drivers ? I still have trouble understanding the benefit of such an arrangement. | |
| tube vs SS my own little test I think what you found typical. The tubes need to get warmed up and when they do the sound quality vastly improves. It may not be practical but much of what we do is not practical, we don't use earbud and our phones to listen to music. A goodly pe... | |
| Speakers or Amp Changing the speakers will have the greatest impact on your sound. It used to be an unbreakable almost religious code that you pick your speakers first and build your system around them. Somehow that simple rule got lost, but I remain true to it. ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I will explain - They leave you but have the kids who need a home. They get the house then make sure you can never get back in by taking out BS restraining orde because they feel threatened. Then they become the arbiter of what actually gets given... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable the reason...for the same reason most of us buy or want to buy expensive components. The desire is to obtain great sound. I spent on equipment at first and only thought about cables afterward, having been exposed to the idea that good cables made ... | |
