| good match for Atma-Sphere M60 are you looking for wire, speaker, pre amp or source suggestions? | |
| If you had $500 to spend, how would you spend it? forget the turntable get dedicated power circuits - if you do not have them already | |
| Rogue 99 Mag re-tube Q The reason to buy different tubes for the 99 is because 2 of the tubes are used in a manner which does not affect the sound very much, about 10% (per Mark OBrien) if I remember right. So replace the other tubes with the best you can afford and sav... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? J Geils Full House is pretty good... | |
| Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load Sdatch is right, with the Speltz autoformer you could make the impedance load appear to be anything from 2 to about 20 OHMS and several selections in between each with a different sonic flavor. Try them they are fun. | |
| How does sound change when tubes start to fail? I think you have bad tubes if you even have to ask... Any signs of disinterest in the music is usually one of the signs of tubes on their last legs as they tend to sound flat.

| what do I upgrade? My first thought is the Red Dawn may give the 'light' sound you speak of. Of course YMMV. It seems to be average cable for such a nice system. | |
| Tube magic in solid state? The closest I found was Plinius SA100 KIII but still no cigar, I went back to tubes. I do not think it is possible but all the comments about Edge sounding like neither SS or tubes has me thinking... | |
| Universal disc player consider the Muse model 11. I own the model 9 and love the sound and picture. | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords HP of TAS likes a Kimber PC (I forget what it is called) as the best out there. It might be worth a look in the archives... | |
| A Call To Reason . . . . . The more I learn about audio the more I realize wild claims could well be system synergy at it's best and the same piece could sound noticably less good somewhere else. Also something that often happens is something sounds really good for the firs... |
