| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono The leads from the Tonearm or from the Phono amp to the preamp? | |
| Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict? Low wattage gear should be plugged into one surge protector (common ground) Big amps (over 100 watts/ch) should have their own dedicated 15-20 amp circuit. No surge protector or power conditioner particularly if the amp has a regulated power suppl... | |
| Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps? Thanx pstores. It certainly seems hard to find someone with a negative comment. I have not had a tube amp since my Stereo 70 days. Plenty of tube preamps including the first Conrad Johnson which I tore out of its chassis mounted it in a new box mi... | |
| In-wall speakers vs. bookshelves plus subwoofer for Stereo/HT setup Hi Alex. No, you are better off with Bookshelf speakers like Harbeth Monitors. It is difficult to control resonances in walls and it might evenincrease transmission to the neighbors assuming it is an attached condo. The shelves have to be weighted... | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono dhcod you did the right thing getting the low nose tubes. Assuming they are the lowest noise tubes you can get that is as good as it is going to get with that phono preamp. It is called tube rush. Your preamp is fine.This is much different than a ... | |
| Old German turntable If you like rumble. | |
| Cost Effective Sub Woofer Joscow, you have a very large room. One sub is going to get lost. Save for longer and get two identical subs. The best value is a Parts Express kit. Two of the 12"subs would be fine. The drivers are seriously good. | |
| Class A Solid State Sound I had KMA 100s. Old Krells are all Bipolar output stages. Wonderful amps until one blew. | |
| Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps? Thank you Bob. Yes, I am talking to Mr Karsten and he is very helpful and enthusiastic. I love the workmanship and point to point wiring. Internally they are works of art. He told me it takes three months to wire a set of MA 3s | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? Soundlab Majestics. It is a shame that more people do not get to hear these speakers. Not only can you get them for less than 50K but there are a number of people who think these are the best speakers you can buy period. All you Maggie folks out t... | |
| Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real? Jetter, At that money these amps are a huge bargain. You won't get anything better until Parasound releases a new JC1 and that will go for over 10K/pr | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? Yes, At the end of your life (say 67) when hopefully your kids are on their own and you did well financially and have money to blow you can set up your Ultimate Hi Fi. Then you can spend the rest of your money on records. Well, maybe the occasiona... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? There is not one. Just go for quality, best low end, best treble etc. You like tube high end, but maybe you like SS bass. Forget about power although the more you can afford the better. | |
| Thoughts on a new tube amp for high end rig? The last piece! Atma-sphere MA 2s. Be there or be square. | |
| D’Agostino Momentum stereo vs D’Agostino Progression Stereo Amp Dan is one of the most disreputable manufacturers of equipment I can think of. I owned one of his Preamps. 8 years into its life one of the micro potentiometers broke. It was a custom pot and he did not keep any in stock for repairs. He told me to... |
