| System advice OOPS! The 'quality over quantity' statement was to be part of thought 2). | |
| System advice I think one can put together a very nice sounding system for $3000. My thoughts toward accomplishing this: 1)Stay away for speakers that are difficult to drive. Think quality over quantity power. 2) Purchase a line level integrated amplifier. Pur... | |
| Speaker for 11x12 room While I have never tried it, I think @soix has a valid alternative. I know some have had success with this approach. Would not rule it out. My approach was driven by my experiences in several rooms. | |
| Speaker for 11x12 room 1st I would move piano to bedroom. Then I would start with putting speakers along the 12.1 ft wall. Left speaker spaced 3' from the glass door wall with curtain. The right speaker having about 6ft space between it and left speaker. Position the b... | |
| Tube preamp for pass labs ? @maxdukecapone Wow, great products. I am using the Super line stage with an earlier version of the Transcend amplifier. Will likely have the Transcend upgraded to the latest version. What speakers are you using? | |

| Tube preamp for pass labs ? Check out Aric Audio online. If interested follow up with a call. Great 6SN7 line stages. Tube rectified, point to point wired. Aric is great to deal with. I use one of his preamps with my Pass XA-25. | |

| Bookshelf Speakers for office ~$500 If mounting against a wall I would look for a closed box or a front ported speaker. | |
| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice What is budget? Would you consider an integrated amplifier? Vincent makes a tube/SS hybrid integrated that has a DAC onboard. They also make a hybrid preamp that mates with the SP-332. I have owned a Vincent integrated and it sounded wonderful... | |
| Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them. Given that the volume issue is the same via the phono input and the tuner and it also seems that the gain from the Eskinsin is not much higher, only providing 3dB more gain when used direct into amplifier, I suspect that the amplifier is defective... |
