| Which amp/preamp/integrated for GoldenEar Triton 5's I have heard some triton models however not the 5s. I thought then to be very good. And had heard they are easy to drive. I assume the 5s are totally passive, requiring power to woofers. Are you willing to buy used? If so, I have had great succe... | |
| Preamp inverts signal. I must say that I was never troubled by polarity of a recording. Have inverted polarity at the speaker or amp end of their terminals at times when amp or pre were inverted. Guess i am not that trained in listening. Also mayby thankful for that. | |
| Which amp/preamp/integrated for GoldenEar Triton 5's Given the age of your amp and the fact you have indicated an interest in an integrated amp, I think at your budget an integrated would be a wise choice. There are many in your price range to choose from, and, as I am not familiar with the Triton 5... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? When I travel, after a while I start to miss listening to my system and after returning and do so, I realize how much I enjoy it, good enough!When I have been to a dealership listening to a system far more expensive than my own and return to my sy... | |
| Using tube amp upside down Maybe you are dissipating transformer induced vibration from chassis when using amp upside down. You might try dampening the transformers another way. | |
| Short cables for Preout/main in and passive use Yogiboy, yes I have considered this. I do have several cables I could shorten. Can’t help but think there are those factory made for this purpose however. I want to buy used. | |
| Help me identify Kimber speaker cable LOL! Never heard that the transparent/white sounded better, but look better. | |
| Second audio system in your house? I should have said unchanged, not alone. | |
| Second audio system in your house? Vicweast, yea, gives one something to play with/spend on without breaking the bank, and with the exception of minor tweeks I tend to leave my primary system alone. | |
| Second audio system in your house? One thing about spending $1000 on a second system is that you might find out how good one can sound with such an expenditure. I have friends who think nothing about spending $1000 on a TV and won’t spend $500 on audio to augment the experience. Oh... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Great Lowrider! I love inexpensive tweeks. | |
| Help me identify Kimber speaker cable Yes, I also believe it is the 4TC. I owned the 8TC of similar vintage, strands blue and black, teflon. A very decent cable. | |
| looking at mcintosh pre-amp c2500. Can I do better for the cost of a Mac? Great! I am sure you will be happy. Enjoy the upgrade path. | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components I feel somewhat remiss in that when I made my last post I didn’t see the previous 3 posts on page 2.Anyway, I purchased a set of Moongels yesterday and will be looking into the mentioned replacements for equipment footers. These things I will empl... | |
| First Hand Experience? Since you are going to use your Yamaha as a separate amp or pre I would purchase the pre 1st as it would add the most toward an upgrade. I, and several others on this forum, truly enjoy the tube pre/SS amp combo. You then have a choice as to impro... |
