| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx I would suggest the Rogue Cronus Magnum II Integrated 100Wpc with the KT120 tubes. My friend has one and it sounds great--musical, powerful, and nicely detailed, plus it has a phono stage and remote control.I used to own the Rogue Medusa and moved... | |
| Has anyone used an Audioquest Jitterbug? In contrast to Philjolet's experience, I tried a Jitterbug in an unused USB input on my Lenovo XP laptop. The Jitterbug worked fine from the start and firmed the bass while improving the focus and image density of the instruments. Now I always go ... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? I would bet on the Rogue Cronus Magnum II KT120 Integrated to fill that bill. I have the Rogue Stereo 100 and it's very powerful, extended and articulate in the deep bass. My friend has the Cronus Magnum II and it's got great bass too. And it soun... | |
| Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home? In my view, streaming radio sounds more sterile compared to its sweeter and more musical sounding analogue FM counterpart.That said, you need to get a nice (probably vintage) FM tuner to hear radio at its best. A lot of the "modern" FM tuners foun... | |
| Gainclone Running 2 Speakers; Parallel or Series This sounds like a bad idea. Have you checked that the output level of the speakers will be the same at a given power input from the amp? If not, one speaker pair will play louder than the other. Also, the overall impedance will be below 4 ohms if... | |
| Orbe motor This happened to my Orbe SE (with the DC motor) maybe 5 years ago. It was a pretty dry summer here in AZ and I recall that a couple of healthy static discharges from my finger to the turntable occurred. It seemed to take out the Tacho speed contro... | |
| DirectStream: Bridge or USB connection? I'm pretty sure it will be connecting to the computer via USB.However good the Bridge is, I don't believe it will beat a direct hardwired connection.Congrats on your purchase. The DirectStream is an amazing DAC. It has way more resolution than any... | |
| Which phono preamps among these three? I had the Chinook and it was somewhat sensitive to microphonics and noise issues, but generally it sounded quite musical and respectable. I also owned a Whest PS 30RDT (early version) for a while and it was quite good sounding although I believe I... | |
| System Help My suggestion would be this: If you presently have the speakers along the 16' wall move them to the 32' wall, or vice-versa. This will definitely affect the bass balance and imaging so it will provide you with a clear impression of which placement... | |
| Tubes in a Cary V-12R Mikirob, which tubes did you prefer in the V12? Will 5881 tubes also work in a V12? I think they have higher plate voltage requirements than the 6L6. | |
| Why does my tube amp Well, for one thing comparing watts to weight is not a valid way to compare amps. Probably comparing watts to watts would be a better way to go. What are these secret SS amps you are referring to and what is their power rating?Two things to consid... | |
| Interesting Article Dweller... you don't need a new digital encoding scheme you just need a better DAC... or a more musical, analog-like one.If you want to hear every detail on the recording, I highly recommend the PS Audio DirectStream DAC with the Pike's Peak firmw... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? RW, nevermind the research... have you actually used the product in your own system and if so what was your experience? If not, well, maybe you shouldn't be touting it... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? I understand that not everyone's significant other is cool with having a lot of tube traps and acoustic wall panels in their living room--and I count my wife among them. That's why I use Lyngdorf's RoomPerfect room correction system and it's simpl... | |
