| Sub 1k integrated? Oh. Well in that case I do hope its Hillsdale. Also good to know your plans. I tend to think long term when it comes to my system. This was 2004 https://www.theanalogdept.com/c_miller.htm and this is 2020 https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367... | |
| Sub 1k integrated? Details are everything. College, dorm, forget tubes. Unless you will be matriculating at Hillsdale, then I would say have your roommate build you a 300B. Typical liberal arts college, beer, there goes the amp. Or beer, there goes the speakers. If ... | |

| WANT TO BUY: McCormack DNA-1 amp in excellent cosmetic condition. Non-working is OK. My first real high end amp. Great way to go. Good luck! | |
| Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better? twoleftears- Transmission line is best when properly implemented. Inclined to agree. First speakers I built were transmission lines using the 1980 Speaker Builder Design of Roger Sanders. For drivers I used the 10" woofers from my JBL L25. The bas... | |
| Advice Needed Don't know cheap, but Shure SE535 are really quite good for about $350. If it helps, they are so easy to drive you could run them right off your line out with only a trim pot for a volume control. A trim pot is just a variable resistor. As long as... | |
| Advice Needed Yes. As long as your headphone amp has volume that is exactly the way to do it. | |
| Are tubes really “warm”? Audio terms like warm are relative. Tubes are in general warm relative to solid state. But you have to watch out, because not only warm but a lot of other terms are used as if they're absolute. They're not. They're relative. You may well be like m... | |
| Sub 1k integrated? My spider senses are tingling, telling me you might try and put legs on a snake. What I mean is you have speakers with a lot of very fine qualities, but they are not efficient nor will they play loud- no matter how much power you feed them. What ... | |
| Near field listening bliss As a kid with my first stereo it was fun to hear how different things sounded moving the speakers around. Radio Shack speakers, little bedroom, learned a lot. Like right on the floor, great bass. Sometimes would lay on the floor with the speakers ... | |
| Sub at the weakest bass point in a room? What’s really funny is no one wants to admit what I said is true. Their solution is sliders so you can fail more times before you get tired. Oh and of course how not to buy EQ and GIK. At the very least they should recommend something that might a... | |
| Looking to add a turntable to a hand me down system The Rega will probably be a bit more lively/fast and the Music Hall a bit more smooth/warm. But honestly my approach with turntables is they all sound so good that you're better off focusing on functionality like do you want a dust cover, VTA, how... | |
| MOST BIZARRE PROBLEM - CALLING OUT TURNTABLE DIYERS Well if you can't track it down you can always have one made. Its not that complicated. They are usually something like this https://teresaudio.com/project/index.html That's the one I have. I would still try and track down the part. But you could ... | |
| Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore? Its always tough to generalize, but the long term trend has been for solid state to less harsh and grainy and tubes to less lush and syrupy. Or solid state more full and rounded and tubes more tight and clean. However you want to put it. Why is ... | |
