| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? I think once you have a truly great preamp, there's no going back to passive volume. I will prove this out soon with my amp I'm having built . It has two inputs, so I can A/B a preamp vs DAC direct. I seriously doubt my DAC driving the amp ... | |
| Highend tube preamp w/no headphone jack - help I wanna get a pair of phones The Quicksilver amp is great , I have owned one for about two years. I dont think you'll find a better amp for the money. Built like their mono amps, it's like a 3/4 size Mid Mono. It's over built , high quality. Sounds great too, can drive... | |
| American Made Audio Products I always try,to buy American made whether it's a tool or piece of audio gear. My tool box is full of American tools and my rack is filled with American components | |
| Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ? I've only had the Forte a little over a year. The QS are really the only amps I've used except for a short period where I used an Acurus A150. It sounded good with the Acurus but the QS were much better . I had a bad tube, thats really the o... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help I understand, Best Buy / Magnolia is one in the same to me . | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help I had McIntosh in what I call the "Dark Days" , better known as when Clarion owned them. I had a C15 and 7100 that I bought used. They were in exceptional condition and sounded pretty good. I sold them for 50% more than I paid for them , after... | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos That thread on the Carver build quality was disappointing. Looking at it, there are obviously a lot of cost saving measures going on there. Look at the build quality of Rogue or Quicksilver, it’s much better for less or around the same | |
| Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ? Actually the Mid Monos don't even need a meter . To bias you just turn each tubes bias pot fully counter clockwise . Old Mid Monos have one potentiometer per amp to bias and for those matched tube pairs for each amp are recommended. The newest v... | |
| Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ? I'm using a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos to drive my Forte IV and they sound fantastic. 40 watts PP , they are EL34 based but can use any EL34 / 6l6 variant They have a 4 ohm tap but I drive them off the 8 Ohm tap and they don't break a swea... | |
| Is system synergy worth having matched components? I have had three "matched" systems over the years. First was a Apt Holman pre and Apt 1 amp.... pretty good combo for a 17 year old kid..... next was a McIntosh C15 and 7100... again, not a bad system. Third was a brand new McCormack RLD ... | |
| T+A Made in Germany RME adi2 FS is an awesome product!!! I just did the latest firmware... took about 30 seconds. They added several new features . Nothing like free enhancements 2 years into owning a product.. Their USB connectivity and software is second t... | |
| Will the used tube amp market suffer? I have a new Tube amp on the way soon and I am absolutely keeping my Quicksilver Mid Monos . I have two spare preamps , both tube , I will pair one with the QS for a second system and sell the other one. People will always gravitate toward tube co... | |
| Rectifier Tube Rolling in a Modwight LS 36.5DM The 5r4gy is not a good substitute for a 5ar4..... at least not in amps | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. I fortunately had some new tubes along with some primo NOS gold but I picked up a bunch of tubes this week. No way I'm selling my babies. I actually have two tube preamps that I want to sell, and I'm including some spares with each.... I think... | |
