| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid The tube conrad Johnson preamps are very good but if you can find a VTL 2.5 tube preamp it will deliver the goods and it won't break the bank. Very big soundstage, very dynamic, and very transparent. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Definitely don't want to put big speakers in a small room. Erik_squires just touched on an important point with the use of tubes preamps will make a positive improvement for these particular speakers Further I don't think there is another compon... | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Potentially, anything labeled accurate is not musical. What good is accuracy if there is no musical enjoyment in the listing room. Then you have to throw thousands more dollars to fix the problem. My test for musicality is if I find myself toe-tap... | |
| Interconnect Break In? I don't know, but my power cords had to break-in to sound smoother, why not interconnects. Logically the gear has to be on for any break-in to occur. You know, the electrons have to find their shortest signal path and components have to settle i... | |
| When I listen to my system....... mrdecibal are you related to mrtennis? What was the question again? My attention span is not what it used to be to digest such a lengthy post.. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? If everything else is OK, the weakest link is the quality of the recording, compounded by the fact that our hearing declines with age You're not going to win folks. But I'll be damned if I am going to have a steady diet of only the very best recor... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? Just one other thing. My home theater is made up of 4 small white speakers and a subwoofer and is completely independent of the two channel gear, they share nothing. Two channel is two large speakers, preamp and power amp. Although there is a jus... | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade Definitely opt for a new pair of speakers that are highly rated and are very efficient. | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? I never scaled down to nothing. I have my two channel for serious listening and my muti-channel for movies, all incorporated in the same room. However, the room is very large. And no it doesn't look cluttered. | |
| JD Souther has passed away Very sad indeed. He will be sorely missed. | |
| Review: Marsh Sound Design A-200s Amplifier Going by memory and after owning this Marsh amp, I'm going to add a few comments myself because I just repurchased it. Ferrari, are you still around? Haven't seen any new reviews or comments on this website? | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. clio09, I never thought of putting the passive after the active preamp and then turning the volume wide open on the active preamp. I want to know if this could cause damage to any of the components involved. Also, in this scenario what preamp do ... | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. Ozzy62, I want to look into that one as well. pennfootball71 if you want to make some extra cash, you could hold the knob and I'll turn the preamp. Or just get a remote and be done. | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. dancub, luminous Audio axiom has circuitry for remote control operation, correct? Also don't they require to know what the input impedance is for your power amp so they can configure the axiom properly to match and drive it successfully? | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. jji666, the preamp is one of the most important pieces in the audio chain as you would agree. I really like the combination of my CJ preamp to my CJ amp, a lot of synergy Plus I'm not going to spend a great deal of money to get another CJ preamp w... |
