| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it You have what looks like a great sounding system, but anything that is finely tuned will require regular maintenance. You have to determine the balancing point between how finely tuned you want your system and how much maintenance effort you want ... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice After reading through the entire thread I recommend that you do nothing. Solid state class A amps do not sound like tube amps. They can sound wonderful, but they certainly won't do what CJ amps are famous for. Nobody responding to your post knows ... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice A few questions. Do you use the Decware Zstage and if so, how? Have you tried the Bricasti without a preamp, direct into the CJs? | |
| Do you let your vinyl rest after playing? When I was young I'd put it on repeat and make that vinyl sing all night long, but now that I'm older, it's me who needs time to recover. Damn! | |
| 3/3/2015 Another San Francisco Smash and grab I like the comment about the decline of personal responsibility. It always astounds me that the men who have run the world for several centuries refuse to take any responsibility for its current condition. Where does the buck stop? | |
| integrated watts or amp watts Stereophile recommended integrated amps are but a small subsection of what is available. There are any number of 100+ wpc integrated amps. As far as rocking loud goes, it depends on what you mean by loud. For some people 90dB is really loud. | |
| Best upgradable system components for under $6K The whole point of an active speaker is that it functions as a single, integrated component. It is more than an amp connected to a driver.

| Best upgradable system components for under $6K A well designed active system will out perform an equivalent passive system every time. Actives allow for better implementation of crossovers and improved synergy between the amp and the crossover/drivers. Examples are JBL, ATC, Pass and Gradient. | |
| Is my preamp useless? It's not really accurate to draw a conclusion about whether Nelson Pass thinks active preamps are the best solution for most systems just because the company with his name offers that type of product. At one point point Pass Labs offered an active... | |
| We lost another bassist: Free's Andy Fraser dies Andy Fraser was a very talented musician and songwriter. Free to this day is vastly underrated.He also wrote "Every Kind Of People" which was a big hit for Robert Palmer. | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? Why all the disrespect for the MF amp? | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke As Snoop from "The Wire" said about Cadillac, "he means Lexus, but he ain't know it." | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? You don't really have to change anything. On paper your system seems fundamentally well balanced. I mentioned that there are better turntables, but your VPI is a high quality unit and there's nothing weak about it. My thinking is that if vinyl is ... | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? No. There are much better turntables. | |
| Small room; Audio Physic Scorpio or WB Trinity?? Try the Scorpios in your new room and take the time to see how they work there. If they don't, there are any number of full range loudspeakers that are designed to work when placed close to a rear wall. |
