| Adding 2 Channel to my HT system and need some input on options "...Good point russ69..."The flashlight technique does work btw (inner 3rd of the panel illuminates) . | |
| Audiophile Vacations The best audio is when I come back from vacation and fire up my rig after 2 weeks of no hi-fi. That is good stuff. | |
| Adding 2 Channel to my HT system and need some input on options The difference you seek is all in the setup. Get rid of all the junk between the speakers, pull the Martin-Logans out into the room and get the 2 channel to work properly. That really all it is. Two channel guys don’t let the limitations of watchi... | |
| Stands or no stands Put them up on cardboard boxes (original boxes would work) and see what you get before you spend money on beefy stands. Mine are happy on the floor. | |
| Buying advice LS50s are not bright, if fact they could use more top end. So I'm looking at your Arcam or a really bright room. Some AQ Type 4 should help a little. | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? "...@russ69 I should probably set up my virtual system on here...."I thought I looked. Did you post that yesterday? Anyway that was very helpful. I like your system. I don't have much to input other than a cartridge change always brings about a ... | |
| Hegel H190 or Musical Fidelity m6si to drive Thiel cs1.5 "...As a former Thiel owner I would go w/the Musical Fidelity. Thiels like power and you'll get w/the MF integrated..."Ditto, a very good match. | |
| Bose 901 low serial number set (3 digit) with "patent pending" sticker "...The original drivers in the first two versions of the 901 used cloth surrounds..."That is correct and the Series I is the best of the bunch. Not sure about any collector value. Did you get the correct EQ? | |

| British Integrated Amps My favorite British/China integrateds are Musical Fidelity. Not sure if that will remain the same under new ownership. | |
| Best Integrated Amp (for me) "...Nikko NR-719 tuner..."Just to be clear that model Nikko is a receiver not just a tuner I think (Nikko made a couple of nice tuners back in the day, btw).The LS-50s like a little juice so you want a powerful integrated amp. I'll suggest my norm... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? You may only be interested in changing the few items you listed but as MC was getting at is that we need to see the whole system to make a recommendation. Back in the day we saw many hi-end turntables paired with 139 dollar loudspeakers. Knowing t... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? OP. What amp? What loudspeakers? what source? Give us a chance to see where you are? | |
| speakers for classic receiver "...I am still hopeful abut the Focals, since it would be a pity not to get the most out of them..."I understand why people like vintage receivers, that is how most of us started in my day. BUT, they are on the lowest rung of capable audio equipme... | |
| Fire and smoke damage "...I have to call my insurance to make sure my gear is covered..."Generally electronic gear is only covered for about $1500 max. At least that is what my policies say. |
