| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? The Quicksilver Full preamp has very low output impedance. The older version is 12.5 ohms and the new version is 2.5 ohms. These Quicksilvers match well and always produce great sound with any amplifier and with their low output impedance they are... | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? I would be surprised if the VTLs can't hack it. If they can't, find yourself a set of Quicksilver monos. Several Quicksilvers have a 1 ohm tap. Even my old Silver 90s have a 1 ohm tap. Try the VTLs and let us know what happens. | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? I think tube amplifiers have been underestimated here by the solid state crowd among us. I have driven many so called amplifier killers with moderately powered tube amplifiers with sound quality that could not be achieved with solid state. | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? True, solid state is a better choice, but if you have the Deluxe 300s, why not try them? They may not play music super loud, but they will play music. | |

| New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP? Unless you already have a record collection I would advise against it. Of course you can always find cheap records at Goodwill if you like Lawrence Welk, Andy Williams and Herb Alpert. | |
| System shutting down due to clipping? I think you need a more powerful amp, more efficient speakers or you should learn the limits of your system. | |

I use a drafting "T" positioned between the woofer and tweeter with a laser. Angle the speaker until the laser poi... | |
| Audio research vsi-60 power concerns It is unlikely you will have good results driving 804's with a VSi60. You might want to consider an amp from Levinson or Pass in the 200 watt range. | |
| Replacing ARC SP-12 I think you will be disappointed if you don't stick with ARC. I suggest you kick in a little more $$ or keep what you have. | |
| fire spark in 5AR4 rectifier tube for PrimaLuna Pr If you are only replacing one 5AR4 make sure it is the same brand as the one you already have. | |
| fire spark in 5AR4 rectifier tube for PrimaLuna Pr 5AR4's are one of those tubes you should keep on hand. A weak one usually shows up during the turn on transient. Some are more rugged than others and the various brands can have an impact on the sound quality. |
