| headphone question I recommend you give the 'phones a try using the Mac's built-in headphone amp. If the sound doesn't suit you, then go buy a nice amp...-RW- | |
| Need MM phono stage under $300 I have a B&O 9000 w/MMC1 and MMC2 carts. and I use a Gram Slee phono pre - sounds great and cost me about $175 used.-RW- | |
| Gallo Ref 3.1, what amps do they love? I am using a Butler Audio TDB-5150, 5-channel, 150 watt/ch, tube/MOSFET hybrid to power my all-Gallo Reference surround system. It sounds marvelous. Basically, the Gallo Refs love to "see" a high-current amp, and the Butler delivers that in spades... | |
| Help needed solving amplifier problem/mystery You could try swapping speakers to see if the problem follows the speaker. But I suspect that you have an intermittently bad channel on your power amp. Send it back to Spectron and tell them to replace the guts for that channel...-RW- | |
| Esoteric X-01 power cord I'm thinking you need to experiment with speaker placement and such. Power cords are not going to give you a big boost and you already have a very substantial cord...-RW- | |
| More Beatles - 24bit 44k - official offerings Generally, I have found a significant improvement in sound quality when going from 16 bit to 24 bit, those extra 8 bits really help. Conversely, increasing the sampling rate does not provide nearly the improvement. It surely helps, but is not near... | |
| Vintage speakers 80s-90s..... Brauser, perhaps you didn't see that the original poster wanted speakers in the $200 - $300 range? I seriously doubt he's in the market for spending $3,000 - $4,000 no matter how good those speakers may sound...-RW- | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question The Oppo sounds plenty good enough as it comes from the factory. Your time and money would be better spent seeking out very high-quality source material and also spending the time, money, and effort in seeing to it that your ROOM is a good as it c... | |

| How to unleash the optimum power of a receiver? Fiddle about with speaker placement, that will result in the best, and cheapest way to improve the sound of your system. Generally, if you can get the speakers away from the back and side walls at least 2-3 feet, this will help in damping early re... | |
| K2 HD Disc I have about 20-30 K2 discs and really like 'em. The care and attention to detail that was used in the production of the discs is quite evident in the sound quality. Many of them sound as good as any of my hi-rez (SACD, DVD-A) discs.-RW- | |
| Attention Onkyo A-9555 Owners/Users >> I'm definitely looking forward to getting up tomorrow. <<I'd say that's true for ALL of us [smile]!!Glad to hear of your discovery, what a great hobby, huh?-RW- | |
| What can you tell me ? Take a look at the Butlers - fabulous sound! I have a TDB-5150 5-channel amp and it works quite well with my all-Gallo surround sound system. They also have a sweet 2 channel tube amp, the TDB-2250.And Butler is having a factory sale right now, yo... | |
| Small Floorstander/Monitor good with tubes Gallo Reference 3.1s should be on your short list to audition. Available on Agon for $1500-2500, well within your budget.-RW- | |
| Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment Take a good look at Butler's tube/MOSFET hybrid amps - sweet tube sound coupled with the balls of the MOSFETs. And, because he is running the tubes at only 5% of their rated output, the tubes are supposed to last more than 20 years.www.butleraudio... |
