| The best integrated amplifier Has anyone actually heard both the Lavardin IT and the LFD LE? That sounds like a very interesting comparison, but I suspect very few have heard both. | |
| solid state amp for merlin tsm's ? Just to avoid confusion, the Merlin speakers sounds superb with an quality amplifier SS or tube, but becuase the Merlins are desinged to be easily driven by tubes, and if you believe tubes sound better than SS, then it explains why so many Merlin ... | |
| 6sn7 and 12sn7 octal preamp for under $5k Mapletree of course made by hand, point-to-point, in Canada. | |
| 6sn7 and 12sn7 octal preamp for under $5k Mapletree Audio - under $1000 with tube regulated power. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? My brother thinks $500 is outrageous for a complete system. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? From my original posting: "Is it the best ever? I suspect for some it may be, and to say that for a $450 product makes it stupidgood.""Stupidgood" -- (a phrase not invented by John Gordon Holt or Harry Pearson, but Bobby P. of Merlin Music Systems... | |
| solid state amp for merlin tsm's ? The Luxman is definitely on the radar, I do wonder if any Merlin owners have actually tried; I suspect few. | |
| The best integrated amplifier OP, are you working on the assumption that you will need at least 100 watts come what may? | |

| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. THe MP-3 will drive the XA30.5 with ease from an impedance perspective, I think output impedance is 250 ohm which is very, very low, especially for a tube preamp. It also uses 6sn7 tubes which always seem to be in my favorite tube line stages - oh... | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. I would get a used pair of Merlin TSMs and a used Music Reference RM10 MKII. If you live near Baltimore you can over and listen to this little amp with my Merlin VSMs - though the larger speaker in the line, you'll get a ver ygood idea of what the... | |
| I've narrowed it down... They are all like that, but 15 minutes is more than enough to warm them up unless you really want to get paranoid about it. Tube life is very dependent on the tube used and the ciruit it is in - some output tubes in some amps will go 2,000 hours, ... | |
| I've narrowed it down... When I was listening to my Technics receiver driving my JLB L19s in college, who knew that one day Class A, Triode, OTL, No NFB would one day meaningful to me:) | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 The Atma-sphere MP3 would match up very well with the XA30.5, although it also worked very well single-ended with the Joule LA-150 MKII and Signature edition, both of which can be set to a lower output impedance.
