| New vs uses in your current setup 0% new, all used for me. | |
| Chair What's your budget? We have a vintage Stressless chair and ottoman from about the late 70's, early 80's and it's still in great condition. It is sooooo comfortable. It does need a button restitched, but other than that, it's fantastic. We boug... | |
| Speaker internal amp shutting off due to heat @erik_squires a Gila Monster? | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load I was just going to post the same about my Cary amp(s). | |
| Ice fans for listening during warm/hot days For maximum quiet airflow, you would want as large of a fan as possible, moving slowly, rather than a small fan spinning like crazy. Think of the difference between the airflow of a Big Ass Fan in a larger room, vs 1 or many more smaller fans run... | |
| What's a good alternative to SF amati g5? Foggyus91 beat me to it! The Ktemas or the Accordo Essense perhaps. That is some serious HiFi art there. | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover Cary SLI-100 or a Rogue Cronus Magnum. | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! Compact and efficient are pretty much mutually exclusive. The closest thing that comes to mind would be an offering from Omega: https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections Your amp has more than enough power for a more typical 90-91dB speaker in ... | |

| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. Is a remote needed? Also, are you using balanced interconnects? | |
| Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective? Each time a subject comes up that is framed as "this OR that," I usually ask, "why can't it be both?" | |
| McIntosh MA352 replacement As stated above, I’d look at the room and speaker setup first. After that, I’d explore the tubes. I thought I read somewhere that McIntosh uses re-branded JJ’s that are OEM’d for them. If so, JJ’s are usually fine, in my experience. But there ... | |
| CARY CAD 805 SIGNATURE Hopefully after 19 years, the OP made a decision. | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers Having installed zillions of outdoor speakers in my lifetime, the best sounding weatherproof traditionally styled speakers I have ever come across are the Near LB6 and LB8's. They are not cheap, though. Subs not needed, especially with the 8's. ... | |
| Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop I'd go with 2-6 Sonos Era 300's. Those things sound unbelievably good. You just need a 110v outlet where ever you want to place one. They can be wall mounted with their optional wall mount kits ($100/pair) so they will be up and out of the way,... |
