| Crucial TUBE question @gs5556 Has it right, they are not pin compatible so it's very problematic to do this swap. You had luck with you that day. | |
| Dealers of High End Equipment I don't really expect much. Dealers aren't making too much money from me. If I buy a really expensive item, I'd expect a little service. Maybe load the truck for me or make a home delivery. | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? You haven't scratched the surface yet. How about paid visits to european manufacturing plants. Including hotel rooms and wine and dine. | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? I'm in the preamp camp. Your preamp is heading very close to vintage. It is the most important part of your system. | |
| Do any McIntosh preamps have non digital filter for bass and treble? The answer is that McIntosh made hi-fi gear before there was digital, so yes. Not sure about current models. | |
| Parasound Zpre3 SQ I have a Zpre3 in a fairly good system. It's not a bad preamp but it's not that spectacular. Not even close to my old PHP850. Your unit seems to be not up to specifications. Perhaps change your interconnects to isolate the problem. | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... The right loudspeaker, placed correctly in the room, good electronics, and a good source. My Triangle Celius 202s were very good at knocking down the walls. | |
| Quieter Amp Replacement for Crown XTi 6002 ? Just get a subwoofer Bash amp, about the same power as that crown and much better suited for woofer duty. | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions "I have a Marantz integrated at 50W" Get rid of that first. A nice Musical Fidelity integrated would work nicely. | |
| Need Amp or next component upgrade advice A lot of things come to mind. One, if the Black Ice repair is the guys in Maryland (the old Jolida importer), I had bad luck with them. Long lead time, said no time to look at it. Then said they didn’t touch it. I got it back to look at and it was... | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? "In the chaos and frenzy for something ever newer nobody stopped to ask if it was actually better." It's better in a lot of ways but some of them are not related to the sound of the audio output. | |
| My list of compact subs with room correction. I had the Velodyne subwoofer management system but I didn't like the sound of the corrected room. Not sure why. I was in a small room, perhaps the room naturally had it own sound and when you changed it, it was unnatural sounding? I need to invest... | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? I'm busted. | |
| Magnepans VS MartinLogan for detail and sound staging Not sure how the Peachtree AMP sounds but If you want more from the Maggies get one with the ribbon tweeter. A big Martln-Logan would cost much more. I'm going to assume you have your 1.7s pulled well out into the room and away from the back wall.... | |
