| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Would to hear the Daedalus Muse speakers. They would work well with my room size. Maybe not fit my wallet at this time. | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? +1 tomic601. Yes, the stand up bass, and Ray Brown. I am not concerned about the bottom octave, at least not as it results directly from my speakers, it is getting the harmonics/overtones correct. | |
| Your system quality vs. recording quality +1 Mapman. And there is are many releases that suffer from poor recording and/or production. Some of my favorites are those recorded 'live' in the studio. | |
| change amps or speakers Given you like your speakers and the QS amps, my thinking is with those who recommend trying the KT88 tubes and an active preamp. | |
| Amplifier warm up +2 atmasphere. Are not most components within an amplifier designed to be at spec once they reach thermal equilibrium? | |
| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings Thanks bjesien, I have checked out Leben and it seems to have quite a feature set. Also like the flex with different 'classes' of tubes. | |
| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 Audio Mirror..Can't believe i did that. Can I use the age card? | |
| ROTEL RA-985BX Well said jjss49. | |
| Integrated amp suggestion for Sonus Faber Olympica 2 @arafiq I am really interested in your impression of the BlackHawk as i am considering that integrated as well. I do believe you also use the Mirror Audio Tubadour DAC, as do I. | |
| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) Congrats! Let us know what you think once you have had time with it. | |
| ROTEL RA-985BX If your are giving this amp with speakers. Nice gift as long as the amp is compatible with the speakers. | |
| To pre-amp or not to pre amp +1 jjss49, I just reread (most of) that thread. For me, Mike's comments tied the many opinions together. | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings I have a dedicated tape measure, dedicated SPL meter, 3 dedicated lines all dedicated to my bedroom which is dedicated to my audio system, to which I am dedicated. :-) | |
| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) Well, three tube preamps that could be purchased new at your budget I would consider are the Quicksilver mentioned by Hide45, the Schiit preamps mentioned by George, or one by Aric Audio (check out website). As per yogiboy, what phonostage are you... | |
| Benefit of shielded ac wire? Any downside? Ptss, a very good timely question as I am building a home and will place 2 dedicated circuit for my system. I am also wondering the benefits of running shielded cables to the outlets from the main breaker box. |
