| New or Used Amplifier I have champagne taste and a beer budget, that said I have bought many used pieces over the years.....I just picked up a really nice pair of Quicksilver amps that I could not have afforded new, maybe once my daughter graduates college that will ch... | |
| Inexpensive tube amp Anthem Amp 1 is a nice 40 watt EL34 amp that can be had for around $500.... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'll be honest, my McCormack DNA 125 is a great amp, and I thought it would stay in my system for a while.... in fact I wasn't even looking to replace it, however on impulse I bought a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos from an A-Gonner that ended up l... | |
| wireless subwoofer transmitter I have the Velodyne , it works great | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I work for doctors. there is no one pickier, more demanding , higher maintenance, and more abrasive than a doctor that believes they are not getting what he/she paid for. When I install an instrument that costs $30k or $40k they expect perfection,... | |
| Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp? I'm using Voskhod 6n23p which is a Russian 6922 variant with excellent results in my c-j Classic 2 SE. I tried a few EH and they were noisy either right off the bat or very shortly after install. The 6n23p tube sounds better in my opinion, well ba... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? I have a M51 and love it....best sounding source component I've ever owned. Incredible with well recorded material in 24/96, not talking HD Tracks but native 24/96k recordings. It serves as the hub for my digital sources, CD,BluRay, Cable, Netflix... | |
| Best DAC/preamp for under $2K? I have a NAD M51 and it is a great sounding DAC with to me what seems like a purely transparent volume control. You can not tell the difference between variable and fixed outputs at normal settings. It is the best digital volume I have experienced... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? I've been using subs since '98 with excellent results. I think the trick is the right low pass xover and slope. I run my mains, Revel M106 full range and use a Velodyne SMS 1 to apply the low pass slope and freq which is steep and at 60 Hz. I use ... | |
| Best DAC/preamp for under $2K? so what did you end up getting? | |
| Proceed PAV as a two channel preamp.. I would pass, I believe Proceed is still supported by Harmon but at a very steep flat rate and I don't think they can fully support all models. I would contact Harmon Specialty Group to make sure they can still repair and at what rate just in case... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? Revel M106 are an excellent speaker.... I run them full range with a sub that has a steep low pass X Over. Even with the sub off they have decent bass, tight and tunefull. With the sub (REL R305) I have a system that sounds way more expensive than... | |
| 6922 Issues / Recommendations The Russian "rocket logo" 6h23n is a great tube if you can find them....rugged and sound great | |
