| tube ringing? If you tubes are microphonic and ringing it should be obvious. One idea is to listen to a CD at a level high enough to induce the problem and then pause and listen for a risidual ringing. If you have dead silence right after the pause than your tu... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Pro amps are like everything else- some are good and some are bad. There are no issues with using them at home most of the time and often they can be had for far less than comporable audiophile jewelry.I would not intentionally avoid pro stuff. I ... | |
| Bi-amping question Yeah, it seems like 1+1 no longer = 2.-Rob | |
| Speakers and depth... How about a dipole or bipolar design?-Rob | |
| Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 vs Quad 12L Were just posting our experiences right? I think your theory on speakers being good or bad is flawed to an extent. The fact is that a Klipsch speaker is going to have different attributes than a Magnepan. Both can be good. That is a fact. Speakers... | |
| Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 vs Quad 12L Versus the music every seems to fall in love with after they get into this hobby. Audiophile labels, high res, whatever you want to call it. -Rob | |

| Bi-amping question I think you made a good choice. It is the simplest answer which is most often the right one.-Rob | |
| Rogue Metis pre amp Fruff1976; if it is that bad ditch it. There are too many alternatives that dont have this issue.-Rob | |
| Tube-Friendly Less Than or Equal to 2k Back to your initial question- I can tell you that the 21l makes more sense than than 12l. It gives up almost nothing-and plays louder and lower. What you would spend on good stands will pay for the upgrade. These are definitely all around perfome... | |
| MMG or Triangle Titus speakers? Intersting question about two of the best The MMG has more potential overall. The MMG will throw a wider, deeper and taller soundstage. Treble/HF is substantially better with the MMG vs the Titus. If you had a dedicated room and were looking for t... | |
| Time to move on, Quad, Coincident or Ref 3a Absolutely no way to answer your question with info provided.-Rob | |

| Have $600 Need input on upgrade for Acurus Amp How about Aragon? I went from an a200 to a 2004mkii and the difference in smoothness was incredible. Much more refined. |
