| Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System? For sure. I haven't fired up my big system in quite a while. I do play and enjoy music but on my other systems. My other system, while good, are not hyper critical. | |
| Showrooms in/near LA, looking for Tube Gear, Exotic 300B tubes in particular Before Upscale moved, I have never seen such a huge amount of tube gear in one place. Not sure if it's the same in the new digs but you could spend all day there. | |
| Vandersteen VSM-1 and End Caps Those are wall mounted speakers. At least they were designed to be wall mounted. Not sure you could ever get them to sound as good as any of the floor mounted systems from Vanderstein. | |
| Triangle Altea Esw amp recommendation "...Triangles with a Musical Fidelity integrated amp..."A very good match. | |
| Triangle Altea Esw amp recommendation Not sure about the Brio but from what I read it sounds like a good pairing. The Triangles are a shade bright but once you put a good amp on them they really show their stuff, they are very good. | |
| Triangle Altea Esw amp recommendation "...I am using standard speaker wire and RCA connectors..."Kimber PBJ interconnects and AQ Type4 speaker cable will tame the top end. | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? The M3si is great and may do the job but if you could step up one notch, you would be very happy for a long time. | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient Not sure if your phones and amp are a good impedance match, the specs don't say. Try it first, the Mac headphone amp should be good enough. | |
| Crossover suggestion for Infinity Servostatik Wow, SS ones? I use a DBX crossover with my Infinity RS1Bs. They make a stereo 3 way crossover but you might have to use adapters for the XLR connectors. Should do the job. You can toss the internal crossovers and just run the DBX. Affordable but ... | |
| 100 watts enough? Yes 100 watts is enough. It's a big amp with big caps so no problem. If it was a cheap consumer grade receiver, a hundred watts is not going to cut it. | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? "....Examples abound: http://matrixhifi.com/contenedor_ppec_eng.htm It’s no use saying “but I can tell”. All these guys thought that too..."You guys are like a cult of Dr. Toole. You keep posting this "test" that uses shitty little 6 inch monitor... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player "...You misinterpreted my post. A Laser can go out AT ANY TIME..."I did, I noticed it after I posted and re-read your post. Yes lasers can die abruptly and/or time out. | |
| Clear my confusion Loudspeakers? Placement? | |
| Opinions Needed: Hales vs. Tannoy I didn't see a picture that included your room and speaker/sub setup. The Elac sub can't be adding much if you are looking for more bass. | |
| Mystere tube cage No designer is trying to get the tubes hotter. |
