| Higher-Fi has full page ad in dupont registry "If these guys want to advertise they should stick with the audio magazines." = Naive.I think Chris is actually pretty smart. 200K speakers on Craigs list = not so smart. | |
| Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT "A deal breaker for me with the CJ, is all their preamps invert polarity."It was a deal "maker" for me. Their ART and ACT 2.2 only have "one" gain stage and invert, I would assume the same for the GAT. Don't see any drawback, do see a benefit. Eve... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Audiofeil, I do remember that one. Mine frome the same year was:"Antlers In The Treetops" by Whoogoos the Moose. | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? Charles1dad,Thanks. I'm positive your system is very special. Curious as to how loud you like your listening level?Pubul57,I think specs have to be interpretted correctly to get theory to hand off to practice. I see my Maggie specs as, 1: a very f... | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? Very happy with my 805 AE. Pretty versatile with it's power rating. Had it on my Maggie 3.6's last night.Charles1dad, I know we share our love of 300b amps. I use them on my hi-eff system. The 805 was an experiment to see if I could get that SET m... | |
| Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill? >>>Any way I figure it draws 800 +/- minus watts at IDLE! how much power you think I am pulling if I run it at a mostly 4 Ohm load when playing reasonably loud?<<<Hardly any difference.My Pass XA.5's draw 600 watts from the wall.... | |
| My love of music is killing me. Dean_fuller,As you can tell, alot of people are caring about you. I've had to deal with the pain of a loss of a loved one. It's a very personal thing. It was a good thing to post here. The heart will try and heal itself and it takes time. Long wal... | |
| SummerTime and Amp Heat Magfan, Good to know where it originated. Love movie quotes. | |
| Mt First McIntosh Congrats. My first Mac amp was the 2105, new in the early 70's. The Mac Rack (2105/C28/MR77) was hypnotizing at night, sound was fantastic.Somewhere along the line some people got the idea that the 2105 put out 105 watts and the 2100 only 100. Don... | |
| SummerTime and Amp Heat Fans? We don't need no stinkin fans! (loosely quoted from Blazing Saddles).I live in the desert southwest, A/C works for me. My Pass monoblocks run pretty hot but Nelsons designs account for this and seem to last for a long time. I don't need or l... | |
| Does long hair destroy the soundstage? Whaddabout Sideburns?Think about it. They're right there in front of the ears. I've often suspected that they had a lot to do with the changes from early Elvis to late Elvis music.I have left the building. | |
| Coincident Dragon Amplifier Al, Congrats on your purchase. The VAC may have been serendipitous. I have no doubt you would have enjoyed the 211 Dragons but owning/living with an excellent 300b amp (SE or PP) is a great reference point. A 300b amp is at the top of my favoites ... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I have a small collection of tuners. I'm fortunate to have several local stations that makes owning them worthwhile but I also future proofed myself should FM ever go south.I have an FM transmitter in house. Whatever I hook up to it will be broadc... | |

| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers I go with the consensus and think the gamble will pay off. I own the 30.5 and am impressed with how well it does at low power levels which is where I would imagine you would be with your AG's. Below is a quote from Nelson Pass's paper, "Leaving Cl... |
