| Best used 2 channel preamp for 2500.00. Also take a look at an ARC LS5 MKII or MkIII, I think you'll find them more musical than the LS-25. Good Luck! | |
| SF Line-3, Trans 3, Dac 3 - house tube sound Hey Mike. Sorry so late getting back to you, I've been on a much needed vacation. Nice to hear from you again too. If I remember, you use Kimber Select IC's. You should really try Cardas to see what difference that will make in your system. I real... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show Hi all. All this time since the show, I thought it was just me. This was the first show I was ever able to attend. I was really looking forward to see and hear all the products I could only read about. I heard some great music but the biggest thin... | |
| SF Line-3, Trans 3, Dac 3 - house tube sound Hi Mike. I have a Line 1 along with a Power 2. The best improvement was putting Ediswan's in place of the Sovteks and using Cardas Golden Reference IC's and speaker cables. The Ediswan put the sparkle in the top end and the Cardas gives great mid ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Pearl Tube Coolers Necessary? I have a recently purchased Power2. The tube coolers were not included. I contacted SF about this and was told and in the beginning the tube coolers were included with the amps. They stopped including them after awhile although the manual still sh... | |
| What Speaker Cable for VIENNA MOZARTS That's an easy one. Analysis Plus Oval 9's. They are are great match with B&K gear and Viennas, are relatively inexpensive and perform like cables that cost much more expensive. | |
| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? I too have the Beethovens and IMHO, if you use them with a quality tube preamp, they really sound great. As far as amps go, I drove mine with a Classe CA-200 which was very nice but now use a Sonic Frontiers Power 2. It's 100 watts of tube power a... | |
| Which amp is better... "My question is, is the HPA3 a last-amp-you'll-ever-buy amp"It's been my experience that there never will be a "last amp you'll ever buy" The last amp I just sold, a Classe' was my "last amp". Good luck! Mike. | |
| Best Tube Amp under 5K Please don't misundertand how I mean this post, but with 5K to spend wouldn't it perhaps be better to get a different preamp rather than the ACT-3. I understand the ACT-3 to be very good for a pre-pro but not quite the sonic match for a 5K tube am... | |
| Best DVD/CD Player to buy With a $ 1,500.00 budget, now is the time to wait patiently for a used Cary CD303 to pop up on the market. You will be amazed at the sound! Good Luck, Mike. | |
| Classe, Sunfire, or EAD Here's just another way to go. My room started out as a home theater room and I increasing wanted to add 2 channel. I had a B&K Reference 20 for my pre-amp processor. Its okay on 2 channel but its real strength is video. I decided to keep the ... | |
| Best Non Progressive DVD ...... I've had a DV-05 and can certainly recommend it for video and audio performance. I recently upgraded to the DV-09 and have to say the video performance is even better. I bought mine new for $799.00 from Harvey electronics. WWW.harveyelectronics.co... | |
| Is there such a thing? Thanks all! I've never seen the blue book, sounds like I need to get one. I really appreciate all info. Mike. | |
| Marantz Model 2 Amp Schematics...1950's? Try www.audioclassics.com if you haven't already. You may find some info there. Good Luck! | |
| Upgrade advise needed please Thanks all for the response. I will be looking at new preamps and wanted to try a tube. It would be my first foray into tubes. I just don't know all thats available but I've read good things about a CJ 10, Rogue 66, etc. Any ideas would be appreci... |
