| Looking for a good place to start It is difficult to recommend an amp without knowing what speakers you have. Normally with a tube system you start with the speakers, make sure they are tube friendly. What I mean by that is they should be fairly easy to drive, somewhere in the are... | |
| Most Engaging Monitor? JM Reynaud would be my choice, however I would recommend the Trentes that are available here on Agon...All are good choices but I really like the Reynaud for an all nighter.good luck and enjoy | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I do not think the Vandys are bright. I think something else is your problem. Maybe a new PC would help? Speaker wire?I have not heard that particular amp but do not especially care for Classe myself.good luck | |
| Magnepan Owners - Need Your Thoughts Please Stickman sorry to hear you need more power, I feel your pain (or used to anyway). I often look back fondly on the pair I owned. So darn good for the money.I think most owners would be better off with a big SS amp like the Innersound ESL. You would... | |
| Any Michael Bub'le fans....... I saw Michael Bub'le sing the top ten list on Letterman and he really could sing! Pretty impressive.I know nothing about his music however I just wanted to share...:^D | |
| Auditioning a Tube Amp $300?snap it up! | |
| Quad or Magnepan? you must supply room size and amp used. Can you put the speakers 5 feet out into the room? That is the minimum for Maggies in my experience and Quads like a bit of breathing room as well. I can not help you compare them to the Grand Veena as I hav... | |
| Auditioning a Tube Amp try the amp on your own speakers is the best advicebtw I have read good things about the Sophia Babygood luck | |
| Magnepan Owners - Need Your Thoughts Please fwiw my 1.6s were fine in my 13 x 22 x 8 room and I really liked the cardas method to which I followed to the letter and did not move them after. I aimed them at my shoulders and it was nice.I think your room may be a bit big for them but (on the ... | |
| Magnepan Owners - Need Your Thoughts Please funny thing, my Manley Stingray with 40 watts drove my Maggie 1.6 in a livlier fashion than my Rogue M120 with 120 watts - go figure. Your VTL may do well, it is hard to say but I usually recommend 500 watts with tons of current for Maggies.in cas... | |
| Powerful and strong ss amp at low cost. Innersound ESL | |
| Question Regarding Tuner And Satellite Radio Tpreaves - I just thought it may be possible (if the receiver had the correct output)and he could benefit from the upgrade in sound.I should have mentioned that he could also just run an IC straight to the amp (like I do) and get mediocre sound | |
| Which 6sn7 tubes for Rogue Magnum 99 call Mark OBrien at Rogue he told me which tubes were the most important when I owned the 99 but I forget which ones myself...I think the 2 on the left make more difference, the 2 on the right are mu followers, I think, but check with Mark he is a... | |
| Question Regarding Tuner And Satellite Radio can you run a wire from you DirecTV reciever to an external DAC? I do not know the proper terms but I imagine this could be possible. Otherwise I think you can buy a Sirius tuner...I do like the jazz channel 850 on DirecTV and I miss 852 which was... | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? I thought oil (from your fingers) on the tube caused a hot spot which might crack when the tube gets hot againI dunno, better safe than sorry imo |
