Recommend a recording that shows of soundstage
Glad you liked Simao?History is a great recording. One of those albums you want to crank to 11. In fact, a lot of Michael Jackson's recording are nicely done. 
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm
Hi Zanth.my comments were directed to nobody in particular. They were simply a general statement. I am not one to debate or make any attacks on anyone's personal observations. I apologize if they came across as such.

Believe it or not...Vogue by Madonna. I believe it is on the Immaculate Collection album. This is recorder in Q-Sound and there are parts when she goes into vocals where her voice comes from all corners of the room if the system is capable. 
I'm gettin weak bass and dynamics in one speaker
Start first by swapping speaker cables left to right. First thing to do is make sure its not the speakers. Then if its not the speakers, you can isolate the problem by ways mentioned above. 
Pre-Amp for Class D Amp
Your are correct Charles1. It was not written correctly. Thanks for clearing that up. 
Pre-Amp for Class D Amp
Any decent tube preamp or buffer stave would go nicely with Class D amps. As mentioned, tubes are the key to a well balanced system using Class D amplification. We have been designing around Class D for several years.The Bel Canto's have a high in... 
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm
There are far too many high end models out there to say one is the best. We (Purity Audio Design) have an upper end pair of PSE 300B mono blocs that utilize never before seen output transformer technology among a few other things. Im not saying th... 
Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp
This model of the Vincent does not have soldered tubes. If I recall correctly, it is the tube in the window that is soldered but is only for show and not in the audio circuitry. If you look at the internal pictures, you will clearly see the tube s... 
Oppo 105 in place of pre/pro
Saki...I would be interested in your findings once you install the preamp back into your system. I know the 105 is a nice unit as well as very versatile but have yet to find anyone (at least not any of my customers or potential customers I have sp... 
Repair mingdac mc3008c mono amp?
Have you tried replacing the tubes first? Always first suspect in tube pieces when there is a problem. Just swap the tubes from one amp to the other. If the problem follows the tubes, you just need new tubes.If it stays in the same amp, then you c... 
Replace 12AU7 with 6SN7 ?
You also have know what the filament voltage is as well as the current. The 12AU7 can run on either 12.6V or 6.3V. The 6SN7 is a 6.3V tube. If running off 12.6V in your amp the 6SN7 is not interchangeable.If the other way around, the 12AU7 can usu... 
The future of preamps
I haven't read all the responses but so far, preamp seem to be holding their own. I for one will always use a preamp. A tube preamp. Regardless of the amplifier being used, I think a preamp will not only provide better sonics but also serve other ... 
Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise?
As Albert mentioned, there are some high quality volume controls that are available with or without a motor attached.In our new Musica Bella products, we have been using the 48 step Khozmo attentuators and they too are available with our without r... 
Preamp with tone controls?
I would also recommend Audio Classics. I am a few miles down the road from them (literally) and as mentioned, they are great people to work with. They are probably the largest Mac dealer in the world and deal with all corners of the globe. It woul... 
Emo dumps Carver, the Carver site is down.
Wow, that was fast. My quess is now that they own the rights to the circuit designs? they will copy them and release them at a much lower price point after having them made in China.Who thinks this was a bait and switch plan all along?
