| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? George , I tried to PM you, w/o success. If you could PM me, that would be great. I have had a few passives, but none were exceptional. The particular room and system I would be using it in would be : CD, mostly redbook, modified Sony SACD player,... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Not a new thread of this topic, again ( and yes, there are differences ). Sheesh........Enjoy ! MrD. | |

| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Where are you located, as I will buy, for the right price, your Lascalas. I guess from your other thread, you are not interested in doing the midhorn damping ? Too Bad, as it is very significant in how this cleans things up. Maybe try a smaller, h... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @basement I totally agree !.....Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? The chassis seems to be used for several pieces of equipment, including amplification, so maybe it is economical ? I like the looks of the heatsinks. @georgehifi I might be ready to try an LDR unit, so what do you think ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up? @hammy1750, as a newbie here, welcome. Someone on USAudiomart is selling one for ( says working fine ) for $250, with external ps. Another recently just sold at $350., in mint condition. It is your money, but I am advising you to take the loss and... | |
| How much power can a pair of Klipsch La Scalas take ? As I stated in my earlier post, back in 1970, Klipsch used metal mid horns, which, at a louder volume, would ring and resonate. I believe this is what you are responding to. I suggest Dynamat, or another type of damping material, to dampen the out... | |
| Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up? I would work with the shop that repaired it, since you obviously paid them. How much do you want to invest to get it " like new ", since it went up in flames ? | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Dampening the midhorns will not only rid the H-111s of the slight chestiness you speak of, but the lower resonant, less vibratory and cleanliness of the mid horn will clean up the entire speaker. I promise. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| How much power can a pair of Klipsch La Scalas take ? I am always rotating power amps through my Lascalas. My Yamaha pro amps have a red led indicator per channel that show when 1/2 watt has been reached, and it is plenty loud for me. At the level the OP is listening, there are many areas of the Lasc... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers I agree, and if I were able to build a special room specifically to accommodate the Khorns ( room corners become part of the doghouse ), and then get rid of some of the other room corner " problems ", I would own a pair. Some of the best systems I... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Some people will buy an Aiwa mini system for a couple hundred bucks. This might be a budget thing, or, they are happy listening to music through it because.........., wait for it,.......they are not us. These ( the DD amps ), are for the wealthy. ... | |
| "Bookshelf" speakers designed to be placed near the wall behind them? Klipsch Heresy 3. Read the many positive reviews. A fun, musical speaker. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 @michaelgreen............Ditto ! Enjoy ! MrD. |
