Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert?
the loudest sound NASA has ever recorded was the first stage of the Saturn V rocket, which clocked in at 204 decibels.  
Speaker cable geometry question
Thanks Shadorne, I've read stuff like that basically and on this page in particular, Fig 11 shows no more than a 0.025 dB drop at 25 kHz for the largest spacing of that particular example.  Fig 13 shows with the largest wire a difference of around... 
Best amps to pair with dynaudio C2
I have had good results with Cary MB500's and Plinius SA100MK III. The space heater from New Zealand is currently driving the C2's. It is the lowest priced amp I have had in five years and I am lovin' it. 
Words From the Wise
You will never achieve what you want or expect. This becomes even more true with the more you spend. 
what happened to Cary 500MB?
Drubin, I have the C2's paired with the 500MB's for over a year and a half and have not even looked for another amp since then. They replaced Lamm M1.1's. 
Speaker to be used with PC
I use a Tivoli model 2. 
what happened to Cary 500MB?
My last amp cost triple the 500 mb. My next amp probably will as well. No plans to try anything else for quite a while. 
Dartzeel 108
I just sold my speakers to a guy who had the micro utopias. He had the same issue as you. He decided to change speakers because the micros were not giving him what he wanted.The speakers were Verity Parsifal Encores.Just some more food for thought. 
Tubes for Antique Sound Lab 1009
Definitely change the stock EL34's for something like SED or Svetlana. The stock were a bit too forward and midrangey for my taste. I noticed a larger improvement with these tubes than with the others. However I did not choose to spend the big buc... 
Wilson Watt Puppy 6 or Sophia 2 ?
Aren't all three approx the same size? 
Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2
Just for reference, I had the lamm pre in a system with Coincident Total Victory, Revel Studio and Verity Parsifal. There was some degree of small hissing with all but none really annoying except one combo: Coincicent TV with Antique Sound Labs 10... 
Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2
The pre will hiss no matter what you do. The hiss comes from the mosfets in the circuit and higher gain amps on more sensitive speakers will hiss more than others.You either live with it or sell it. For me, I chose to go a lower gain amp and it re... 
Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation
Between the RCA and Raytheon, I prefer the Raytheon. It is just slightly more natural in its presentation. The difference is small. 
Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation
The thing is there is swapping signal tubes and swapping power supply tubes. The LL2 is a tubed pre with a tubed signal path. The L1 and L2 are solid state with tubed power supplies. So in a well designed circuit, there is less of a difference wit... 
Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation
I have the L1 and the power supply has a similar tube complement, 12AX7, 6C19, 5651, but not 12AX3.I have found that there can be small changes with different 5651's. See what you can find and give it a try.
