| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Gallant_diva, So, does that mean you agree with me? I wrote "The amount of watts is not the issue".You wrote "In fact, the amount of watts is the issue".Leo Spiegel, your hero, wrote "Power isn't the issue here". | |
| Why monoblocks? Foster_9, Just do it. You will be glad you did. Bigger soundstage and images, better dynamics and better overall sound. Most audiophiles buy stereo amplifiers because it is cheaper than buying monos. | |
| Where to get hi end cables reterminated Why don't you fix them yourself? | |
| Piggy back conditioners? I promise I won't say anything. | |
| Newbie question - equipment with good resale value The Audiogon Blue Book values may only be good for a short time as certain brands and models fall in and out of popularity. If you are going to play the game you have to play it good if you don't want to lose money.There are certain makes and mode... | |
| Sound of SED Winged C KT88 vs. SED Winged C 6550's Getting information out of Upscale Audio isn't as easy as it used to be. There are some major differences between a KT88 and a 6550 and I have always heard a big difference. I recommend you try Roger Modjeski at Ram Labs for tubes. It's a much bet... | |
| Why monoblocks? First of all you get more power supply with mono amplifiers and there is a huge advantage to the left and right channels having separate power supplies. Sonically there is a noticable improvement in separation and the soundstage is much larger wit... | |
| Good Amp for Martin Logan Monolith II It's great you can borrow equipment from your local dealer. It would be a good way to find out if your system would be more coherent with all tubes and if it is meaningful to you. I was runnig the Dunlavy SC IV speakers with Audio Research tube el... | |
| Good Amp for Martin Logan Monolith II Eliane Elias is brilliant. My Foolish Heart and Tangerine, also on that disc are great. Are you familiar with Grant Green? On his CD, "Idle Moments", Blue Note, listen to the title track, almost 15 minutes long. This recording really says somethin... | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Audioconnection, Great recommendation John. Have you ever heard the old saying "You can lead a horse to water"? | |
| Good Amp for Martin Logan Monolith II Minor1, I wish I could tell you I kept my 23.5, but I didn't. Wouldn't it be great if we still had every piece of stereo equipment we ever owned. I simply don't have the room. Just think, with 4 VTM 120 monos you wouldn't have to worry about being... | |
| Good Amp for Martin Logan Monolith II Minor1, I'd say another set of VTM 120s and you'll be there. I'm a stickler for coherent sound. I totally agree with you. Newer is not always better and sometimes newer is not as good. I also owned an SP-11 MKII. I used it with a Levinson 23 to dr... | |
| Amp/ preamp for electostatics and why Audio Research made a V-140. It was basically Classic 120 monos balanced. And if you use Audio Research you don't need the Zeros. There is always a trade off with that type of product. Ralph, I'm surprised you are pushing your products here. | |
| tube amp for ProAc Response.. need suggestions Actually, Audio Research works pretty well with just about anything. And that's the way it should be with a well designed product. | |
| What is meant by a "fast" pre amp All of this can be summed up in one word, MUSIC. A preamp could have all of the best specs in the world, but if it doesn't sound like music, you have nothing. If you think your equipment sounds fast then it probably isn't. |
