| Have i reached the limit or do i get a new preamp I somewhat agree with Elizabeth's recommendation, however, a better choice would be the Quicksilver Full function preamp. Although you may not need the phono stage this preamp has a low 12.5 ohm output impedance making it compatible with vertually... | |

| Another what preamp to get thread The SP-9 got bad reviews, but back then Audio Research hybrids were new and SP-9 owners and reviewers were treating them like tube preamps turning them off after an evening of listening. However, the hybrids need to be left on continuously for the... | |
| ARC SP-6 Warmup time Nope, it's not normal. I would recommend calling Audio Research. It sounds like you will be sending it in for repair. I hope you didn't pay too much for it. This is why a 9/10 rating on these older units is not accurate. The faceplate may be free ... | |
| How long daes it take your gear to warm up? Mapman, Your SP-16 is not warmed up in a matter of seconds. It has merey stabilized enough to be used. | |
| How long daes it take your gear to warm up? There is a big difference between tubes and solid state. I own some solid state equipment that takes 3 days to sound its best. However, my tube equipment is stablized after a couple of hours. | |

| Why do planars have poor bass extension? Good bass extension can be achieved with adequate power. | |
| off axis or tilted speaker placement ? I recommend trying the long wall again. Good quality speakers can be spread pretty far apart. I would try as much as 10'-15' apart. You may not get a lot of depth, but you will have a huge soundstage. Since your room is only 12' wide you will need... | |
| Tell Me Focus on the basic sound and presentation. Anomalies like the one you mentioned of blurred lower bass can be caused by many things including room, cable, electronics etc. and there are just as many cures for this type of problem. Listening to equi... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV minus SC-I = a good sub? No, the SC-1 with a subwoofer will not give you the sound of an SC-IV. As far as bass output, it has a lot to do with the room, equipment and the person setting up the system. | |
| Need advise on speaker upgrade Because of all of the Bose bashing on this forum I decided to pick up a pair of Bose 301 Series V speakers to satisfy my curiosity. A review will appear on this site when I complete my evaluation. This $328 speaker blows away speakers costing 10 t... | |
| Did I blow my tube amp? Jea48, Regarding your comment "(Dumb way to build something)". The output transformer case may be grounded. Most people use terminated speaker cables eliminating this problem. Also, powering up a tube amplifier with no load is very hard on output ... |
