| 50 WPCish Integrated/Receiver for Apartment Hey smrex13, Yes the Music hall is a nice option at this price level. That said, a while back avery nice gentlemen and fellow AGer sold me a Yamaha A-s701 for a exceptionally fair price. Am totally happy with that amplifier driving my B&W685s ... | |
| What do you take when demoing new gear? I took my Macbook Pro with Pure Music playback and a 30 song playlist to demo speakers I was interested is. I used amplifiers supplied by the dealer that were close in power and character to what I use. | |
| Tubes make a digital service sing. I agree, Using a DAC with tube output stage into a tube preamp with SS amp. Now also playing with a EL34 tube integrated amplifier.I believe it would cost the entire price of my system to purchase a Vinyl front end to compete with my digital one. | |
| help me help my friend? I agree that he should keep his speakers. Once positioned with a system that serves, one can always find a speaker that mates with ones amplifier and room and makes for a better presentation. Use of subwoofer(s) can help. The Node seems to be a go... | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? One amp/speaker combination that I heard and think comes close to what your looking for was the Devore O/93s driven by a Line Magnetic 845 SET integrated. I own Tannoy Sterlings, the Turnberrys are the bigger brother at $8000. I let room size di... | |

I just received it and played in in UL yesterday. Going triode today. I bought it for exploration. Wanted to... | |
| Luxman integrated for Harbeth Compact 7's I auditioned my Tannoy Sterlings driven by a Luxman 20wpc class A Integrated. It sounded wonderful. Don't remember the model number. | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice Desper, I have been following your journey. Since retirement, one of the things I have enjoyed in this hobby was the exploration of different approaches. From this I have gotten to understand what others before me have found, and have a better und... | |
| Penafrips, MHDT Labs DACs versus Integrated amps for home office Jolida makes a DAC with tube output stage that is highly thought of. I believe it is within your budget. I might add that, once I had a system I enjoyed, I began the upgrade path with the digital source which made for significant improvement. Then... | |
| Review of a tweaked Pangea Premier SE Octet Power Distribution Strip[ Thanks for the info. I made be needing one of these. | |

| Border Patrol Se-i vs Audio Mirror Troubadour MK III Should also note, the BP has a tube buffer, the Tubadour a tube output stage. | |
| Border Patrol Se-i vs Audio Mirror Troubadour MK III I recommend the AM Tubadour III. I own one and can say that it made a significant upgrade in my system. Resolution, soundstage and 'air' around notes. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I believe I mentioned this, may be redundant, but I auditioned the Sterlings with a 20wpc Luxman class A integrated and they sounded beautiful and provided plenty of volume in a room much larger than my 12.5 x 14.5' room. I purchased a Line Magne... |
