| 32-bit dac If 32 bits is good why haven't we seen more of them as well as industry leaders with 64 bit dacs??? | |
| Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000 I scoff at those who scoff whoever they are. We really do need a little more information.If you can buy Von Schweickerts VR2s then buy them. I don't see them on the used market but they were very good nuetral sounding speakers in my set up. I drov... | |
| Top 50 audiophile magazines to be reviewed in? Aren't you the "Coconut" Audio guy. No wonder you have 50 tweaks to submit. I was wondering what happened to you. "Went back to the lab eh".... | |
| Optimizing the Prima Luna Premium Integrated amp All 12AU7s is the manufacturers tube designation for the amp we are discussing. In that event the OP may want to try another direct sub the 5814. The 50s Hytron and later CBS Hytrons are held in high esteem but it is necesarry to them alone to get... | |
| Changing racks from Grand Prix to home made?? The constrianed layer sounds intriuging. I might have chosen another brubber besides neoprene but I am not sure it would matter. I happen to think that "memory foam" has remarkable damping capability as does sorbothane which you can find in a numb... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. If you are really uncomfortable with the sound of the Heresys then perhaps the better part of valor would be to sell them and start over. I realize that you may not recover all your funds but the money you'll spend trying to get them to "sound rig... | |
| L&R subs but only only a mono sub output; options? I tried to understand what should be relatively straight forward connections in HT only to get frustrated and lost, repeatedly I might add. I must have assembled 100s of stereo set ups, even with tape loops back in the day, with no problem. I real... | |
| Harmon Kardon citaion 1 kit telefuken I think you have something that is very very rare and collectable if it is in good or better condition. If the kit included the original unused tubes which I assume is why you put Telefunken in the title, then it's even more collectable. I would t... | |
| Need feedback for 6k budget There are a couple of speaker companys that go unoticed by the Agon members because they are not marketed as High End. They seem to be able to make 5.1 and 7.1 etrc systems for a lot less than we are used to seeing on this site. I can't recommend ... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. I missed that old thread so I will add my 2 cents here. I own Heresy Is I guess you would call them, vintage 1976 before numbering. For reasons unknown, I found as do many others, that McIntosh power amps are synergistic with Klipsch speakers. Fro... | |
| Goldmund Turntable with T3 arm--what is it worth? You should pay no more than 50 percent of the original price minus the cartridge which I would say has to be 50 percent less the cost of retipping. You may even be justified in asking for an additional hassel discount for getting the cart retipped... | |
| Solid State Monoblocks-Tube Preamp or Solid State? Not all tube gear lends softness or warmth. Modern/current production tube amps and preamps can be very detailed and analytical. They can even bring out the sparkle, that people speak of. Therefore I agree with Arh that you must choose the pre bas... | |
| pre-amp vs dac straight to amps I don't know the technical reasons for my own preferences but my pre amp adds a lot to the overall sound I get. I find that the tubes my pre uses are very good at giving my sound big Tone as I call it a certain full rich and lush at times quality ... | |
| My First 845 Tube Amp Look foe DeHaviland's SET 845 amp it is pretty much what you want. 845 tubes can get scarce at times even though they current production. They (Shuguang's) seem to make them in runs. I understand that there is a really super 845 from Germany but I... | |
| Changing racks from Grand Prix to home made?? There are several members of my old audio group that built their own racks All of them seem to be quite pleased with the results. You can tweak your rack by using heavy brass footers. I highly recommend Edensounds products which he can customize t... |
