| Tubes and less sensitive speakers I'm very familiar with Maggie 3.6s. I would not recommend a tube amp for these. Although some of the bigger powerhouses sound good but with lots of heat and heft. Your Hegel is probably a decent amp. I would add a tube pre-amp, a good one. | |
| To which song(s) did you blow your speakers? I never blew a speaker but I have popped some fuses. ELP "Tank" will do the trick. Many more modern records will also work. Edit: It's been decades since I tried to bust things, but you go through that phase at first. | |
| Help needed to make system better, please Sounds like a Cary SLP-98 would do what you want. I suggest the F1 mods. Maybe you could try one and see. | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Except for the pops and clicks and getting up every 20 minutes. | |

| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? @billpete Russ69 What AR's did you have? Just wondering. I knew you would ask that. I sorry I can't remember. I got them from my brother, one was one people try to find and it had all the upgrades, the other was more modern but didn't sound... | |

| 12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated. Today's Gold Lyons are very good, affordable, and available. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? All DACs contain an analog amplifier stage, There are plenty of differences there. | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? Lots of gear over the years. I finally decided that I would buy gear that pleases me but may not follow the idea of accurate sound. My system is flawed but it's flawed in the most pleasing way. I could not be happier. | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» I have two houses full of audio gear. What happens to it, I don't care. I've been giving some to my nephew as his Dad exposed him to audio. He has a pretty high end system so he's not interested in my Mid-Fi stuff. If it ends up going to the thrif... | |
| Should I replace my Conrad Johnson PV-2 with a McIntosh C-28 You'll need a Cary SLP98 or better to surpassed the CJ PV2. |
