| Bi-amping B&W 703's Absolutely- Your speaker's crossovers are designed with bi-amping or bi-wiring in mind. Bi-amping affords a much greater sonic gain. Just use two pair of identical, high quality cables for the best benefit. A site with some more insights: (http://... | |
| Kimber Timbre vs Hero The Kimber Kables that I've used (Hero, Silver Streak, KCAG, and now KS 1130s) have all been transparent, open and accurate. Each step up in the product line just delivered an increase of the same great attributes. They didn't offer the Timbre whe... | |

| first tube rolling: expert advice needed - take 2 Hello Karelfd- It certainly sounds like "tube rush" the way you describe it. The least little noise put out by a tube in your pre-amp will be magnified exponentially. Contact Kevin here: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/view_category.asp?cat=44) He ve... | |

| Edgy, bright highs on Avantgarde Duos The Duo's sound best if you are sitting further away from them than conventional wisdom dictates(further from them than they from one another), or- If you have the room, just open up the triangle. The horns are spaced apart to the degree that thei... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Revelation-2 speaker cables Leaving the system on has to include playing music, or pink/brown/white noise constantly for that period. Play a CD(with a lot of bass content) on repeat, with your speakers close together, facing each other, and ONE with it's polarity reversed(fl... | |
| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? Tvad- You're right about the Stereophile results. At 2ohms the Moscode only put out 130W, this after putting out 250w into 8 ohms and 390 watts into 4 ohms. In reading Markotic's first post: It didn't register that he was actually using Scintillas... | |
| a tube amplifier repair technician The truth is that V-Caps can take up to 200hrs to burn in(Teflon's like that). They are the most transparent caps out there after that. You can speed the process by playing a pink/brown/white noise signal(or plain old music) through the system(on ... | |
| Good beginner tube amp suggestions If your tastes run to warm and lush: Tube whatever you get with NOS, British(ie: Mullard or Brimar) tubes. The PrimaLuna pieces are nice, easy to use(self-biasing), and Kevin(Upscale Audio) can tube them to fill your desires . | |
| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? I second the Moscode suggestion. The amp has MOS-FET output devices, and they work fine(don't thermally run away)into low impedences. | |
| What are the best quality speakers for under $500? I agree with the used suggestion, as well as the Dahlquists(though the DQ-10s take a lot of power to drive). I would add the DQ-9. Actually by Magnat, and an excellent, very musical, imager). Magnepan MMGs can also be had in that price range, thou... | |

| Power for speakers, too little will damage a speak If the volume you are attaining with the combo is satisfying, and you're not hearing any high freq. distortion(clipping): You are not going to hurt your speakers. Clipping burns tweeters, and sounds really obnoxious. Tubes do it more softly than S... | |
| Help. Thor owner messes up There is some doubt as to whether they are still in business. Open the power supply up and check for a blown fuse. Many designs have internal fuses(not certain about yours). Be careful not to touch anything inside the chassis BUT the fuse(if you f... |
