| Thiel 03a Post this in the Thiel Owners thread, lots of helpful people there. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? Best I have ever heard is the Nola Micro Reference, but I bought them 9 years ago and haven't really listened to anything since then. I'm sure that the state of the art has moved since then. | |
| Wilson tiny tots Actually, looking at the Hegel specs, that amp may well be able to drive the WATTs (it seems to be rated into two ohms, albeit at 60 watts into that load). A little more than the OP wanted to spend though, even used. Audiotroy used to be, or may... | |
| Right match Sounds like the problem is in the preamp, then, or maybe the connections. I'd ask my dealer for help first before returning it. | |
| Right match Unless there is something not working properly in the preamp or amp, you'd have to assume that two Musical Fidelity products of the same product line should work fine together. You might want to try the MM/MC switch to see if it makes an improvem... | |
| Right match The M8 has a phono stage, according to the website, claiming for both MM and MC. So along mesch's lines, (1) did you plug the TT into the phono input and (2) if so, did you plug it into the MM or MC input? From your description it sounds like yo... | |
| Wilson tiny tots Just so I understand, you did say "tiny" tots, right, not "tune" tots? Tune Tots are a current speaker; Tiny Tots (WATTs) date back to the 1980s. | |
| Wilson tiny tots My recollection of the Tiny Tots was that they were a location monitor made by Dave Wilson to monitor his recordings. They were described as (1) ruthlessly revealing with a somewhat rising treble, (2) difficult to drive (they went below 1 ohm at ... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp I'm not familiar with your preamp, so it is tough to make suggetions, as many tubes sound different in different circuits. I will say the best 12AU7 variant I have used in any of my equipment has been the Telefunken ECC802, but I think what you m... | |
| Thiel owners Doubtful, but I suggest asking this on the Thiel Owners thread, you'll probably get the answer there. | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Linda Ronstadt did a lot of nice covers. I especially like her cover of the Eagles' Desperado. | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? New/unused records can also be gotten online from Elusive Disk and Music Direct. Versions and pressings don't matter much with new stuff, IMHO. If you want used, if you're in NJ. I'd suggest going to Princeton and the Princeton Record Exchange, ... | |
| Replacement power. Ps I actually know what you mean about the trips to Brooklyn, one of my ML 1.1s kept switching into standby during play, turned out to be a defective relay but took a few trips as it was hard to find because it was temperature-related. As for a repl... | |
| Replacement power. Ps M 1.1s or ML 1.1s? In either case, I would be hard-pressed to come up with something better. What aspects of your current setup are you looking to improve? | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Duntech Princesses--6 feet tall, about 180 pounds each. |
