| What amp with Innersound Eros ? The best sounding amps I ever had driving the Eros were the Monarchy Audio SE-160 tube/MOSFET monos. The tube amps I tried, including a highly modified Dyna ST-70 and a Music Reference RM-9 Signature did not work that well. I don't think that most... | |
| WHAT WOULD CAUSE JC-1 MONOBLOCK TO SELF DESTRUCT? Possibly some internal component failure or a potent power spike through the AC line could be responsible. Does your friend use a surge supressor or does he plug the amps directly into the wall? | |
| New ARC Preamp ?? Weiserb, you are "done" if you think you need to buy the latest model of everything! | |
| What constitutes a great solid state power amp? Simple --one that sounds great and is both reliable and affordable! | |
| Absolutely beautiful gear Nrchy, thanks for the link. That was a load of great looking gear.Two of my personal favorites are The Michell Gyro SE turntable, with its gold weights spinning on the bottom of the platter. And I also think the TAD-150 Signature preamp with its b... | |
| Nuforce Oz, I'd definitely say they outperform most tube amps I've heard (especially in terms of bass articulation and top to bottom resolution). And the amazing thing is that you can get them to sound just like a great tube amp if you want to -- simply b... | |
| Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here? Women need to be doing at least 3 things at once, so to get them to focus on just music for more than 20 minutes without cleaning something or straightening something up is almost impossible. A lot of women like music only as "background noise". T... | |
| Best upgrade option for this system? I think that trying a good tube preamp would be the thing I'd try first. Swap the Adcom GTP-400 for a nice tube preamp like a TAD-150 Signature and I think you'd be amazed. | |
| Opinion on what power route I should go...$3000 Take option A and add a high quality balanced preamp down the road (when you can afford it) for the remote capability and the extra inputs... | |
| What do you think is the best amp to go with Maybe you should experiment more with fine-tuning the speaker placement or possibly changing the speaker cables before deciding to move to another amplifier... | |
| What can I improve in my turntable setup? If you just moved into a new house then you have no clue of how anything should sound in the room you're in. The turntable might sound perfect, but the room won't let you hear it...I'd try a set of high-quality headphones with the turntable to see... | |
| What the H ll Happened Here? Tomryan,I'd also have that Plinius amp checked out thoroughly before putting it back in service. If any of its active deviced failed, it could have been putting out DC to the speakers causing the woofer failure. If you have a voltmeter you could t... | |
| I finally bought a record cleaning machine $ Hey Guys,Sorry for my rant. But many of us here have so much to be thankful for... In light of recent events, when someone with so much is concerned that he "can't afford" to replace a few records, well, it just set me off. Perhaps it was just a c... | |
| I finally bought a record cleaning machine $ Albert,Snip: "I take very good care of my vinyl because I treasure the music and don't have budget to replace things damaged by my negligence."Well, of course after you've spent a couple of hundred thousand dollars on your equipment and room you d... | |
| Vibration Dazzdax, you may be on to something, because in the case of the particular tube preamp we tested, it was actually the feet that resulted in the most deviant performance that I thought sounded the best (or most natural)... So it may be the euphonic... |
