| Integrated thingy Thanks Newbee. I appreciate the info. The Cayin is more in line with what I can afford. I was trying to stay at 100 watts, but I may not get everything I want. I wonder why their website says power output is 100 watts. Are there different models? | |
| Integrated thingy There's more out there than I was aware of. I appreciate all of your suggestions. Timrhu, you're right. I'm not ready to get off the merry-go-round, but I want to start eliminating cables, boxes and clutter. That was the main focus of my rant, but... | |
| Would a heavy hand on the volume blow my 845s I had the same urge years ago when I was driving an old Corvette. Some roads begged me to hit the accelerator. The speedometer went up up up. I eventually turned a bearing and had to have the engine rebuilt. It was an expensive mistake. Go with yo... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound Bigkidz, I've biamped with SS on bottom and tubes on top. The sound was nice, but in the end, it was more of a pain than it was worth... four PCs instead of two, two pairs of ICs instead of one, extra space, extra heat, clutter. I was glad to dism... | |
| ear 534 I haven't heard the EAR 534, but the ASL AQ 1008 sounds sweet to my ears driving a pair of Alon Model V's. The only thing I wish it had was triode mode, but the EAR doesn't have this either. They both have a push-pull design, but the ASL has twice... | |
| EAR 834P DELUX I'm using Groove Tube Mullard reissues and like what I hear, but many people say Telefunkens are the best. Mitch Singerman (EAR U.S. rep) recommends JJ's. Here's an old forum worth reading: EAR 834P tube swapin | |
| Denon DL301 vs Benz micro glider I haven't heard the DL-301, so I can't comment on it, but I own a Glider L2 LO, DL-103 and 103R. I run them through an EAR 834P. The Denons are smoother in every respect. There's an edginess with the Glider that I don't like. It's not in your face... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Dog_or_man, I'm in a similar situation--I'm trying to decide how to treat my room with panels or tube traps. I wasn't aware of a software program that determined the ideal size of the tube traps. Can you tell me what you're using or point me to a ... | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer The control interface of the DEQ2496 takes the cake for being the worst I've ever used. It works, but it's not intuitive. Be prepared to go through the instruction manual not once, not twice, not three times, but many many times. It's part of the ... | |
| Any ideas in speaker choices would be great Growler, which Alons did you get? | |
| How many audio related links on your computer? I have way too many. I try to keep them tidy and delete as many as possible as time goes on. A better question is how much time do you spend trolling the internet reading about audio? That, my friend, is a scary thought! | |
| Lonely piece of marble: where should it go? There's an interesting description of a TT isolation box made of maple, sand and granite in this virtual system. He admits it's overkill at 275 lbs, but I'm sure it does a great job. Where can one buy granite? | |
| An Other Phono Pre-Amp Question There's no question the 834P will sound better than the PV10B phono section. Will it blow you away? It might. Why don't you pick one up and let us know. If you don't like it, you can always recoup what you spent. Two other giant-killer phono stage... | |
| Affordable Power Cords A little Blu Tak around the connection point will keep the PC from slipping out. This has worked very well for me. | |
| which would you replace first? I highly recommend a new phono stage. I had a Phonomena mated to a Denon DL-103R for about 6 months. The Phonomena was decent, but lacking in many important ways. I didn't realize this until I picked up a Wright WPP100c. That's when I discovered h... |
