| No Adagio Jr. for sale? It can mean any number of things, people who own them keep them or they didn't sell well and thus there sren't a lot for sale. Make up your own scenario. | |
| Best ampli for Avalon Time You have great stuff, try not to get carried away. For one thing there is never a best. The highly regarded SS amps are all over the mags. Why not try one or two and see for yourself or ask Avalon who they like and show with? | |
| 10K$ Speakers for 845 SET amplification The Rethm speakers perhaps, not sure you can ever match the the built in powered bass of some of the other systems. | |
| Krell It would matter if the quality of the two different cap had different sounds, matched Cap specs don't always predict matched sound. I read of people using "better" sounding caps to modify their amps while adhering closely to the original specs. I ... | |
| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? I can answer for Rodman, You got the point. Clean undistorted power at moderate levels will be fine.The only concern is that you may want tp play quite loudly. I don't know your lifestyle, but as Elizabeth said as long as you are fairly sober and ... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Indeed I was going to tell you what Joe did. The JJ E34L is a different tube, I think IIRC that the height is slightly longer than the regular JJ EL-34. The other cool thing is that the E34L comes in colors. Trelja and I preferred the Blue glass. ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review For the record I think it important that the speaker being 89 Db "efficient" doesn't tell the whole story. There are 89 Db punishing loads whose electrical impedance dips way down despite a nominal 8 Ohm rating. When that happens the speakers need... | |
| Tara Labs cables sound I don't know the Tara cables but if you want smooth, talk to Cardas. I have Focal speakers which are highly detailed and can get a little too precise sometimes. I added Cardas Golden Ref, ICs and it did the trick. Wilson used to use a variation of... | |

| What speakers to get?? Help Monitor Audio makes good speakers at reasonable prices. I assume you have a decent enough source and amp. Otherwise you may have to go with some self powered mini monitors like AudioEngine, they are available on Audio Advisor I believe. Speakers a... | |
| Newly Modded KWA 150 to SE The cable part is interesting to, as I don't own any ModWright gear.I have been arguing, in a different thread, that expensive doesn't mean better or even good, it's just expensive. | |
| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? I have not had any problems exceeding the suggested wattage range. Pushing them hard means playing them loudly with a distorted signal from the power amp or section of an inregrated/receiver. It is the distortion or clipping that blows your speake... | |
| Hybrid Integrated Amps: Any Good? I am pleased to see that most of the posts acknoledge the point that a tube input or pre section of an SS amp, does not mean the amp sounds like a tube power amp. The tube effect goes beyond tone, it is the tube's ability to yeild a beautiful 3D s... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review @ Mikirob you may want to try the 12AU7 direct sub made by Amperex Heerlen called the 7316. It is my favorite 12AU7 by a longshot. | |
| New phono preamp vs NAD 1020 I think you must find your current Phono stage is wanting. If that is the case then by all means get a new Phono stage. I assume that your cartridge is a MM. I think you should save up a few more bucks and get the Graham Slee Gram amp 2SE. It runs... |
