| Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers? simna, I agree with your idea of moving the carpet, and anything else your might due to reconfigure the room to accommodate a brighter tone. It is generally accepted, as you can see not by all, that silver cables cast a brighter character over cop... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC I own the AMTubadour III with resistor and cap upgrade. Use it into a Aric Audio 6sn7 tube preamp driving a SS amp. Tubes are the way to go with digital. | |
| why do my $40 logitech speakers sound better than my $120 edifer speakers? Stable, sorry for the interruption. | |
| why do my $40 logitech speakers sound better than my $120 edifer speakers? @dekay Loved the video. Think I will look for the series. Never watched much TV bsck then. Enjoy old series on disk. | |
| Devore O93 vs Super 9s @mrmanisumdaram I am sure your system sounds great! I have heard the O/93s driven by a Line Magnetic 845 integrated. Sounded great. Would own them, however they don't fit my life circumstance, having three 4-5 year old grandsons living with me. I... | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? I should add that speakers add much to the character of a system, more so than other components. One has to understand what character best suits oneself first, then seek a speaker having the best quality of that character based on budget. Higher ... | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? +1 mcmvmx. Focus on the speakers first. You have two amplifiers to use with them. Maybe take your Yammy 801 to a couple dealers and audition speakers with it. Any chance you could audition the 40s with the 801? Though the 40s are a good deal. they... | |
| What Do You Think? +1 dougsat. If I wanted to dip my toe into the planer pond I would go with the Magnepan LRSs at $605/pair. | |
| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) As I have with preamp threads, I recommend checking out Quicksilver or Aric audio. Both have a tube pre in the ~$1500 range. | |
| Suggest an entry - midrange Preamp (tube as well as SS) for a McIntosh power amp The Quicksilver line level or check out the Transcend by Aric Audio. I believe either can be configured with tow line outputs. | |
| Amicus Addendum to Tube Pre-Amp Thread by Hilde45 +1 decooney and yogi. For ~3K Quicksilver is a great option. I also recommend checking out Aric Audio. I own his Special Preamp (earlier version). | |
| Used McIntosh Amp or better new options out there? - Amplifier or Integrated I agree with the idea of purchasing speakers first. I also think that at your budget you would be best off with a integrated amp. Macintosh makes them, i believe them to be tube/SS hybrids. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? +1 russ69. I would start by calling Mike at Quicksilver. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I have always considered that speaker placement was for the best position across recordings. I likely won't mess with rake, however will continue to increase toe-in. | |
| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 @arafiq Thanks for the feedback on your visit. Given you are so close I would also want to make the comparison between amps prior to making a purchase. Actually given the power need of your speakers, I am not sure the 30 watts would be enough.
