| How do you know when an older amp needs service? Hello Stanwal (Spoken like "Hello Newman"),Just kidding. I know exactly where you're coming from. My house abounds with faux plants that are of such quality that most people have to touch them to find out that they're phony baloneys. Yet, sometime... | |
| tube amp, or SS, I'm a tube guy who heard a Belles amp only once, but if I had to choose two words to describe the sound, they would be organic, liquid. | |
| Best high end monitors? Atmasphere,Have you listened to the Ridge Street Sason's with your amps? Their published specs are almost identical to the speakers you like from High Emotion Audio. | |
| Who was your first I too got turned on to jazz at a high end audio shop ("Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note"). But I really got HOOKED when I befriended another customer I met while in that same shop. He invited me over and introduced me to his extensive classic jazz c... | |
| Neil Diamond......... I saw Mr. Diamond in Chicago in 1971, I think; it might have been 72'. It still serves as a measuring stick for every other concert I see.FYI, If you're in town, please don't miss "Jersey Boys". Great Fun! | |
| Should I get a new amp? JM Lab speakers are particularly special when driven by tubes, IMO. It's too bad that they're not particularly tube friendly. I was driving the Mini Utopias with a 70W conrad johnson. Does it work? Yes. But I would like to encourage those who say ... | |
| IMPULSE Records catalog in SACD Hi Audioholik, That is great news. Thanks for the heads-up. | |
| Is It Worth $28 Million? Now there's a guy whose turntable endorsement would carry some weight. | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? Congrats Paul! What kind of amplification are you using? Are tubes an option? | |
| Need to replace my Totem Acoustic Arros "Must be efficient enough to be driven with 20-30+ watts (possibly tubes)"When you say "possibly tubes", does that mean that you haven't yet acquired the amp that you're intending to use with the new speakers? If that's the case, why lock yourself... | |
| Need help with a rack Hi Timrhu, What a great idea. The rack looks great in your pictures and yet I can imagine that the photos don't begin to do real justice. Nicely done! And you say they sound good too? | |
| Need help with a rack Hi Sean,I'm very happy with the amp stands I got from Timbernation. Check out the website below. http://www.timbernation.com/ | |
| Help please choosing AMP wattage for a newbe "Although most amps will work with most speakers, few combinations are optimal."That's been my experience - and hard learned. To me, putting an audio system together is like trying to build a Superbowl team; there's more to it than just matching t... | |
| Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718 I like the Mani-2s a lot, but given your room size, I'd say you already own the right Totems. If the upgrade bug really has you jonesed, I would recommend looking to your front end. IMHO, digital has come quite a way since the RCD991. | |
| High End Monitors I'd expect that right now, it's a buyer's market if you have any interest in the JM Lab Micro Utopia Be, since the replacement model is here. |
