| NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE I suggest you compare against a Primaluna. My experience in that price range nothing came close. I went integrated because of space. The 30wpc punched better than a 100w Shiit Vidar, got louder with less disortion. Better sound. At the showroom co... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers The tube amp won't be hurt if off. Tubes cannot be hurt because it has plates and need electrons to move via heat. Not sure what would happen with the MAC because of the back EMF through the transformers. . In any case like others has said it is ... | |
| Did you notice.... I read responses to the question. What is "Outperform" is What? I hear advantages in both depending on the music and age of CD. Type of mixing and EQ. With streaming you might find the same song mixed. EQ better than what the CD had. Strictly Red... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? There are so many technical factors. Crown International in the late 1970s, 80s made some of the best built and technically measured stereo equipment in the world. Dollar for dollar the best. .00025 intermodulation .0025 THD at full rated output i... | |
| What is the best non-conditioning surge protector Did you over-rate the conditioner so it could handle surge current? Total Watts with headroom? | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) Digital power supplies are normally not robust when taking power hits High frequency spikes and RF noise is a killer. Small sound gear like streamers and DACs won't handle bad power. Did you have power protection? You do not need esoteric, just s... | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated Klipsch Forte 4, nice speakers! That is if you have a large room. The Klipsch are very effiecient. Also you need some volume and time to break in a new speaker before they sound their best. The room is very important. | |
| Sound quality of Roon I liked Roon. There are many advantages if you can afford it. In my opinion 1. The Roon interface is great. 2. There are many options it offers if you want to take advantage of them. 3. Ease of operation. 4. Nice gui interface. 5. Nice Digital E... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? In my opinion high efficiency for larger rooms. Less efficient for smaller. It all depends on the room which affects the over all sound. Klipsch Horns in a 12x12 would sound awful. In a 20x20 wonderful. Also depends what's in the room. | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid Sbayne,, it was not my intention to upset you. Also, I am not arguing. I am electronics technician and know how to build an inverter so I know the theory. I am trying to understand an advantage of DC, to inverter over filtered AC power advantage. ... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito Wow! Deciet, dishonesty, misrepresentation. The non-authentic records should be replaced by a real tape master copy. Premium prices were paid. | |
| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. If you are worth millions then $100k is reachable without any thought. . $$$$$ is in the ears of the beholder. Whatever makes you happy is what matters. There is a different world I cannot imagine. I heard 50k speakers that could not compete wit... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid Not sure why you want to be off grid other than during a thunderstorm? With proper voltage regulation and filtering grid power is fine. Inverters can be noisy too. Especially under quick peak loads. Much power thermal losses with inverters too. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... I remember back in the 1980s several speakers come to mind that were very reasonable cost that sounded better than many higher priced speakers. 1. Ultralinier 100s. (El cheapo components.) 2. Advent speakers. 3. Radio Shack Minimus 7 Now. My D... | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? RFI radiated from someware or through the power being supplied can sound like hiss on the output. It is above human hearing so you the hiss might sound as a harmonic. RFI power filter may do the trick. Good grounding will help. I use power isolati... |
