| Raven Audio and Beyond... I believe you made a good choice. The Dynaudio stand mount speakers play best with solid state amplification that can drive 4 ohm loads. Should you find yourself with a speaker that is a true 8 ohm, and 90+dB sensitive then you can consider tube a... | |
| your first system- Well, my first audio device was a transistor radio purchased in 1960. I was 11 years old. My father co-signed for a loan at the JC Penneys store. Had to use my parents console stereo throughout Jr high and high school. First real system was pu... | |
| Budget integrated amp needed Congrats on the 316BEE. | |
| China built tube amps Congrats on your purchase. I once owned the Jolida Fusion preamp and found it to be a great buy. | |
| Budget integrated amp needed I +whatever the Yamaha A-s301. The NAD 316BEE can be found used at your budget. I am familiar with both and can recommend. | |
| Power Cable Suggestions - Budget In that case you could try plugging the amp into one outlet and a power strip into the other. Get a power strip with IEC input so you could use power cord of your preference. | |

| Need sensitive bass situation Well I don't have your issue with my neighbor's daughter, but I would surly like to listen to those Dadaelus speakers. | |
| Why spend more than $25 per piece of equipment on vibration reduction? I find it interesting that when many describe what they use for isolation never mention what is the foundation for their system. Concrete or subfloor? | |
| Power Cable Suggestions - Budget Adhering to the question posed, I would try running your amp directly into an outlet. I am using Pangea AC14se with my pre and source equipment. Likely not the best one could do but makes an improvement over stock. Any chance of isolating the ... | |
| Impedance Matching Confusion Not to imply that drivers within a speaker need be in parallel. | |
| Impedance Matching Confusion +1 eric_squires. In this case one is not driving two speakers in parallel, but two drivers. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I own a Pass XA25 and it has more than enough power to drive my Sterlings. | |
| Can one have too many tube components in a system? @oldhvymec I loved that response! Most of those that use multiple of tube components know what they are doing. I am still exploring. | |
| Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k? For under $1000 I also think the Schiit Freya+ to be a good option. Otherwise used is a great way to go. |
