| $1000 used amp. What can I buy? Give the McCormack amps with revisions a try. They are rarely sold for very good reasons, one of which is they sound superb. You may also look into some of the digital amps like PS Audio's HCA-2, quiet, runs very cool & load invarient. | |
| Buck Owens RIP I love all kinds of music (variety is the spice of life) and country music is a part of me as well. Mmrog thanks for the thread, this is the first I have heard about this tragedy & Buck Owens will be sorely missed! | |
| power cord too short? what now? Hi, yes there is no question you will lose some benefits of adding an extension to the power cord. I have found it is far better to invest in a longer length to make it redundant for future applications. | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 Snipes, I agree with Jea48, let us know! | |
| Volume Imbalance Cayin TA-30 Tube Amp Randy, the problem I was having was at very low listening levels the left channel was off and the right was playing however when the volume was increased slightly, both channels kicked in with equal gain. This problem was consistant & not inte... | |
| Volume Imbalance Cayin TA-30 Tube Amp The reason I asked is, if the imbalance occurs & is mostly noticeble at lower listening levels then 9 out of 10 times it is the volume pot which is not tracking both channels equally. I've owned preamps that did this & the fix was to repla... | |
| Volume Imbalance Cayin TA-30 Tube Amp Question, is there an imbalance only at low listening levels or when the volume is increased do both channels become equally as loud? | |
| Pre-outs/main ins with jumpers....SUB connection? Some subs accept the ins of your speaker wires taking the signal from them & forwarding the uneffected signal on to your speakers. If these are not present remove the jumpers then maybe you can use a pair of Y connectors connected to the left ... | |
| PS audio hca 2 feedback... Nightdoggy, my findings & others as well as Stereophile are the dead opposite to yours as you can tell but I recognize the fact that not everyone is going to like the same product (system compatibility). What preamp, power cord, & intercon... | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? I live in God's country, Lakewood, Washington although given the record rainfall we have had this year, I think he has moved elsewhere. | |
| Eastern Electric MiniMax Preamp Yes, the Minimax preamp is an excellent effort on the part of Eastern Electric & its sound and build quality compares to some of the big boys! | |
| Review: Polk Audio R-30 Reference Loudspeaker Monitor Petsound, I have a Polk Audio subwoofer, top of the line and love it. A very musical sub with tight bass, beat alot more expensive subs. Sounds excellent with movies and music & yes their products are of high quality. I enjoyed reading this ve... | |
| Klipsch vs Maggies decisions Buy the slightly older Klipsch, push em hard, they can handle it. They also sound very very good with softer more gentle music. Besides, with their high sensitivity rating you can give tube amps a try in the future. | |
| PS audio hca 2 feedback... Drubin, tube gear has horrible specs/measurements when compared to solid state but there are alot audiophiles that prefer the tube sound. Engineering a product & applying large amounts of negative feedback (a common practice on cheap gear) res... | |
| PS audio hca 2 feedback... Zt000, these tests & specs have little to do with sound quality since most quality amps are designed by ear, not by laboratory measurements & specifications. I always thought the HCA-2 was one of the best efforts as far as producing a digi... |
