| Reasonably Priced PreAmp without Phono ? Brand new, tubed, great peamp is the Malpetree Audio 2A SE Linestage: octal pin based; separate power supply; point-to-point wiring; 3 outputs, all customizable gain. I love mine. Extended, organic, palpable. http://www.affordableaudio.org/Mapletr... | |
| Can you hook up a sub to a Consonance A120? That was a great integrated for me if I didn't push the volume too much. I recall that it seemed to have less power than rated. Never measured it, but it just seemed that way. But it sounds like for your application it fits very well. It sounded g... | |
| Thoughts on new amp It is not necessarily just your amp but also likely your preamp. Do you know how much gain it has? Most preamps have way too much gain AFAIK. That's why I had mine built with only 10dB of gain, and actually could have gone as low as 6dB but at the... | |
| Can you hook up a sub to a Consonance A120? Sure! I did when I had one. It has a pair of line-level outputs. Nice amp. What speakers and sub do you have? | |
| Opera Consonance Linear 2.2 or Raysonic 128? I have the Ref 2.2 and liked it in stock form (6H30 tube). But I had it modified ("factory mod") by a former Consonance dealer and now I LOVE it! He changed output caps to 2.2 450 volt Auricaps, replaced output diode, re-wired power supply for vol... | |
| Valid Efficiency Test? Doh! That's true. I forgot about the insertion loss. Filters are on input to amp (RCA). This is not the way to go about doing it. Never mind. Dumb idea. Thanks guys. | |
| Bass issues,,,,will new speaker help? I have the same issue. My dip improved (narrowed the troubled band width and decreased the magnitude of depth a a little) when I added a subwoofer, though still bothersome. It improved again (decreased dip magnitude a little more) when I added pas... | |

| White Album, when's your last listen? Anyone in/near Atlanta who would like my album (Apple)? No longer have a TT so no use for the album, which is in excellent condition. | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours Sellers not disclosing the year their gear was made. It matters. Also not disclosing a "B" stock item as such. | |
| Help me pick out music for a party When you want to end the party just put on "Escalator Over the Hill" and act like you're really getting into the "groove". I works. Trust me. | |
| How often do you swap out equipment in general Hardly ever - maybe every two years. I will not swap stuff unless I can audition first. And I've hardly ever auditioned something I prefer over my current set up. That is why I no longer consider my self an audiophile. Turns out I am just a musicp... | |
| Square room with vaulted ceilings My "audio room" has a cathedral ceiling (same thing as vaulted?) 8'-11' high. I think it sounds fine, though I do not crank the volume to extremes. But I have been told by an expert that the ceiling can act as a horn and should be treated at the s... |
