| What type PC for new DAC Thank you for your advice.Due mostly to having received no benefits yet from Ecomonic Stimulus Package, I'm going with a 4' 14 gauge w/ Marincosfrom Zebra Cable for $54 incl. shipping. | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the flagship Ampeg concert bass guitar amp/speaker cabinet is one of the most popular among rock musicians. The amp does 300w @ 4ohms. The cabinet has 8 x 10" woofers. Low FR is 58Hz @ -3dB and 40Hz @ -10dB. S... | |
| DAC in a simple system? I second the Scott Nixon and the Paradisea. | |
| Which DAC would fit me best? At $400 I would look for a used Paradisea here on AGon. My Musiland MD10 (USB)($300 new)is great, but the Paradisea is better. Just guessing, but I think the Paradisea would also beat the Dac Magic. | |
| How is the power range determined? My rule of thumb with "normal" speakers (6 to 8 ohms, 86dB to 91dB)is to use an amp with 30% more watts over what the mnfc recommends. Dali recommends a max of 150w for my Ikon6 towers. I drive them with a 2 x 200w Aragon 4004 MKII. There is no do... | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS I may be wrong, but I believe the Sunfire True Sub (I bought mine 2 months after they came on market)was the first "small" sub (12" cube). As Drew posted, it takes a lot of power to produce a FR response down to 16Hz in such a small enclosue (even... | |
| How do we feel about a B&K ST 1400 for $400 Circa 2003, I had a B&K 2 x 200w (can't recall model #) that had a great sound. But, it died after only 4 weeks. Returned it to the dealer and got a Rotel instead. | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? All of the brands that I prefer have already been listed.However, I highly recommend mono blocks with whatever brand you choose. | |

| Most agreed upon best speaker? Hey Pedrillo.You started w/ MBL and Alexandrias and I'll end w/ them. | |
| Speaker choice for Yamaha RX-V1900. Need help :- Hi David.Not sure what the current conversion rate is, but I think 1000pounds = US $1500. Not?At the end of 2008, Dali increased the list price on the Ikon6 from $1750 to $1900. Last August, I bought a pair of new, open-box Ikon6s here on AGon for... | |
| mid fi choices NAD vs Adcom vs Rotel ... $400 Hey Five.Some questions:> What speakers will you be driving?> What Ohm rating is your speakers?> What are the recommended power/watts for your speakers?The lower the wattage you need to drive your speakers efficiently, the less expensive ... | |
| What can you tell me ? Hi Jack.IMHO, anything bearing the name Conrad Johnson is hard to beat for value.But, you might want to check out these other tube amps (some are hybrids):> BAT VK-55> McIntosh MC275> Music Reference RM-200> Bryston 4B-SST> Coda S5&... | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Something of interest: I saw Tull live in a small auditorium in Frankfurt, Germany. This was like Feb or March 1970. The audience was about 70% US soldiers (me being one) and 30% German. Tull was fantastic and the Americans were clapping, yelling ... |
