| W4S DAC1/STI-500 vs DAC2/ST-500 Only you can know which is better. It is a personal decision. | |
| Subs/Monitors vs Full-Range Speakers - Pros/Cons I have never been able to find subs that integrate truly naturally with monitors. I even went to a JL demo last Winter and yes the bass was prodigious and as musical as sub 50-45Hz tones can be but I still liked the floor standers better. Is there... | |
| B&W 804 diamond or previous 803D? As a second opinion Elizabeth is absolutely correct. You will be getting a better speaker for much less money with almost all of the "immediate" depreciation taken out of it already. It is not a trick question trust your instincts on this. | |
| Impedance matching 8ohm speakers to 4ohm sub I am speaking from complete ignorance on the subject, but I am surprised that if the sub was not powered. Let me repeat that the sub was not powered that a 7591 amp could power the sub at all. Is it possible for such amps and I do own several "gol... | |
| Witch vinyl LP , EP or single you acquired FIRST? Yep me too Meet the Beatles! but they weren't witches. | |
| Is This Amp OK for This Speaker? Yes it is going to work "fine" but a better amp will give you finer results. | |
| Koetsu Platinium together with My Sonic Lab 303 SU Have you thought of other ultra high end Japanese like Kondo? | |
| In Ceiling speakers for a high-rise apartment I agree there are some incredibly good manufacturers of "in wall" speakers and if it were me I would go in that direction of even more traditional speaker lay outs. | |

| Cary SLP-05 Output Capacitor Question Why are you asking anyway? I don't know what your question really is as I am totally (utterly as will be apparent) uniformed, but what does the schematic show? Or is that in fact your question? | |
| Can McIntosh 135 be used with non-McIntosh amp? Yes you'll be ok with the standard analog outs. Pick you favorite style of amp ( not usually a mini box but that's up to you) and you'll be off to the races. | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Dynevector 20X H but yes used a super cartridge if you can get one at you price. They were just made for (VPI) and Scouts in particular maybe someone has a demo or something. | |
| Warm Sounding Speakers Tannoy get the prestige series add a super tweeter.Kef are warmish but it depends very much on the model these days.Big Vandersteens.Quads (very polite not terribly dynamic)and the Harbeths which I find very warm and not my style of speaker but yo... | |
| the natural sound of a cymbal I couldn't bear reading all of the responses but if what I suggest has been said then just double it. Use your normal recordings and listen if you must for cymbal decal etc. Those sounds BTW are generally easy to pickout. If they sound natural to ... | |
| 12AX7 preamp tube failure last night Yes, it is normal, as Hifigeek said, for a preamp tube, such as your 12AX7, to fail after even fewer hours. 8-10,000 hours is pretty good, only the sturdiest of tubes were advertised as being 10,000 hours tubes. There are many options these days t... |
