| It's All in Your Head Does any of this pontification matter. In the end we will most likely continue to chase the perfect system. If we could be content like most of the country does with car radios and earphones, we would do the same I lived with a Musician and entert... | |
| Phono advice for my current set up please? You probably will need to upgrtade in stages. You do seem to prefer a warm and rich sound given your choice of speakers and amp Yes upgrade your cartrisge to something on the detailed side, as a good balance, I own a 20X HO.It ia a High output MC ... | |
| What guage hook up wire would be the best? Aren't there specific guages suggested with the RCA pickups?? I might also be concerned with the type wire you are buying I would think someone would know which applications the wire is used for if you are buying from a site the specializes in DIY... | |
| does your system "warm up" and then sound better? You can do this with SS components which have insignificant idle draw- when leaving them on all the time. They generally do sound better than cold components.You can't do this with with tube gear because even the lower current on the tubes will st... | |
| is one ear usually stronger? Agree with Almarg a trip to the Otolaryngologist is strongly indicated here. | |
| Do I really need a Dac? NO you don't need a DAC. In my audio club almost no one had one and they were not missed. | |
| Tannoy vs Klipsch I want to add that the "vintage series Klipsch have been heavily modified and may sound different. A flea watt amp, was never the right amp for them, they had fabric/doped suspended woofer surounds, which too some real power tjeir overcome. I woul... | |

| Worth Selling? I agree with above -the amp tuner and maybe table more than tuner are worth checking for SOLD comps on ebay. Asking prices are pretty pointless it what they sell for that tells you what they are worth. Don't expect a fortune BTW. | |
| Audio Research Ref 250s for Magnepan 20.1s? You can't compare the Cary 60 watter with the 250 ARC. Not only different power but very different sound. | |
| Which amp to upgrade my Rotel RB-1080? Why not a Quad amp also if you want a nice warm top end? | |
| Klipschorns as mains and HT subs??? I AM NOT A ht guy and couldn't really follow your thread starter but if you want to use K-horns as the subs I would think that would be a mistake. They just don't have that kind of LFE type low end you will want big subs for that and blend them in... | |
| 4ohm or 8ohm on B&W CDM-7nt? I have both 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm output taps on my amps and I simply tried each to see (hear) if one was better sounding. Indeed the 4 Ohm sounded better on my Focals and I rarely, if ever, doubt my completely reversible decision. | |
| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs The TSMs are indeed superb speakers but I can't compare them to the Gallos which I haven't heard. I had no idea they cost that much more, they are good very good, though. | |
| Tannoy vs Klipsch I owned the old Klipsch Heresy since I was 16 and still have at 53 and La Scalas for the last 10 or more years and one poor 1980s example of Tannoy I would also say there are better my attachment to the Klipsch is almost purely sentimental and for... |
