| Lie you told your wife to buy equipment? No, my wife will go along with it or I'll spend more money and move in with her sister. | |
| Simple System for a Super Senior? I have an NAD Receiver C 715. $500.00 I am actually running Klipsch Quartets with this little receiver 25 watts. You can get some smaller Klipsch speakers w/ horns in them fairly inexpensive. The unit sounds great, has a CD player, sub out, tape l... | |
| Help with proper hook up Thanks for your reply. I had to lift the tubes out of the sockets and put them back in. I hooked the c-9 between the amp and pre. I'm looking for my old carver c-1 manual for proper speaker set up, but I think I remember how to place them. Since I... | |
| Dubbing FM onto tape.... If you can find 3M Black Watch metal tapes 4040. You'll get great recordings. If you are using any signal processors, you can hook up the tape in on the tape deck to the main out on your pre amp if you have more than one main out. Be careful not t... | |
| Warm Preamp I have owned preamps costing 10x the cost of my Cary SLP98P and will never part with it. I you do not have or care for a turntable, get an SLP98L line stage. Call Larry Diaz @ Highend Palace, and he can most likely get you a very fair price on one... | |
| need advice on media cabinet for tube amp.... I'd told my wife I was thinking of switching jobs and we had to move to a town with the nearest mall being 500 miles away. Now the living room has a stereo consisting of 22 components and 4 speakers! I'm not unreasonable, but... her sister does li... | |
| Mcintosh or Classe McIntosh.. U can't go wrong if you're staying solid state. | |
| wow first tube amp If you hook up a tube preamp and some Klipsch speakers with horns you'll freak! I have a Cary V12R amp that runs as hot as an iron, so I don't use it much in the summer. I use a small SS system. Good luck with tubes! | |
| Best poweramp $2-4K matched with Cary SLP-98 I bought a new Cary SLP98P in Feb. I had it hooked to a McIntosh 7270 SS amp and it sounded great. I sold the amp (after 17 years) and bought a Cary V12R amp with Ruby tubes. The results are excellent. Buy one, even if you send it to Cary for a ch... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp: Audio Research or McIntosh I had a McIntosh 7270 amp hooked to a Cary SLP98 preamp. Great sound, then I went all tubes with a CaryV12R amp. At least give the Cary Preamp a listen. You may be in for a big surprise! | |
| bldg system starting with Gallo Ref 3.1 Get a used Mcintosh 4100 receiver and an inexpensive CD player. The 3.1's kick ass, so you do not need to spend a lot of money till you're ready. Good luck | |
| Your opinions on what speakers to go with? Shadorne is right. Klipsch gives the best bang for the buck. Especially horns like the ones used in Quartets. I have used them with a 7270 McIntosh SS amp hooked to a C-1 Carver preamp, and now a Cary V12R tube amp and a Cary SLP98P preamp, and th... | |
| With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use? Try the older Klipsch Quartets, Forte, or Chorus speakers. Sound pressure is a minimun of 97.5%. I have heard newer smaller ones with a 15 watt tube IPOD and they sounded great. | |
| Do McIntosh amps work best with McIntosh pres? They sound great with a lot of GOOD preamps. 7270 to a C-1 Carver to a tube Cary SLP98P. | |
| Classe vs mcintosh The problem is the speakers. They just do not sound that good to begin with. Try tube amps and preamps. McIntosh. |
