| Tube amp repair. Two questions. Why do you need a variac and why don't you think it just needs new tubes? | |
| Pre-amp out splitter won't power subwoofers? it does power DSP unit. I have several subs but so far the only method that powers them with a line-level signal is using a Y splitter coming from the DSP unit's analog line level outputs. In this mode I cannot use a high-pass filter on my mains to relieve them of bass ... | |

| Pre-amp out splitter won't power subwoofers? it does power DSP unit. What sub? | |
| melody 2a3 mono amps i have 2x melody 2a3 amps ...i run are paradigm studio100 I see the problem. You have no bass. Throw a good sub (or two) on your system, it will be a new world. | |

| Am I a hopeless audio snob? I'm with you there. They look like a good DJ table but they just don't light my fuse. I don't know if they can play with the big boys or not but my TT has to be good sounding and aesthetically pleasing. | |
| Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement Out in left field, the LFT-16A. | |
| Integrated amp selection I'm hot on my Rogue Sphinx V3 right now. | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? I have not heard the KLH but the reviews mostly say it's a nice try at nostalgia but misses the mark as a great loudspeaker. How about some Harbeths? | |
| Underpowered? Sell the 702s and look for a better match for my MA252? Dang, you got yourself in a tricky situation. There is no easy way out. I'm not a big McIntosh fan but the MA252 is a neat unit and 100wpc is enough if you are not trying to wake th... |
