| Ohm Walsh 4 conundrum. The OHM Walsh 3000s are 2000 EACH! Ouch. You might want to call OHM and ask about your options and costs. I hear they are straight shooters. | |
| Wanting to try a tube amp. Back to the topic; I might try a Conrad-Johnson or a Prima Luna. The ARC gear can be a little dry and I would want to give the ARC pre a little more flavor with a musical amp. | |
| My ears are ready to retire! "...Have my colostomy bag drop off behind 50,000.00 worth of gear..."Thanks for that visual...NOT. The worse part of having a colostomy bag for women is trying to find a matching pair of colostomy shoes...I'll be here all week, try the veal... | |
| Wanting to try a tube amp. "...To Russ69, please take my apologies. I believe you were trying to be humourous..."Thanks, no problem. I was shocked as hell when the General Electric Triton dish washer was the first thing Google grabbed. Us older (maybe I should say vintage) ... | |
| My ears are ready to retire! I'm with MC. Downsizing is a mistake, you should be upgrading! A nice tube integrated with some tower speakers could be a replacement for a bigger system, maybe even better than you have now. | |
| Musical ultra lively Subwoofer 50Hz to 100Hz - Magnepan DWM or what else ? Not sure the planer speaker would mix well with satellite speakers. The punch you are wanting is up higher in the band, it's your satellites that are falling short. That being said, look at a HSU sub, they use lightweight cones in ported enclosure... | |
| Help an old man out "...Also, I am not using the SA bass amp...I have thought about it in the past, but do not want the fan noise..."The surface noise on a LP record use to hide the fan noise of amps, when I switched to digital I had to get rid of my old amp, the fan... | |
| Wanting to try a tube amp. I typed in GE Triton in Google and I got a dishwasher! I'm too old GE means General Electric. | |
| Speaker set up and IRREGULAR rooms. It's just a null at singular frequencies. Perhaps a multiple of the 70hz null. Is it really audible or just a measurement? What is the combined measurement? | |
| Separates or not? Keep your phono preamp as a separate device. More flexibility. | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns; where does it kick in? I have not spent a lot on audio gear and I have a very nice sounding system or two. But I have heard the big systems and there is no comparison. If you want to run with the big dogs you have to spend some big dough. Diminishing returns, maybe that... | |
| Which Road? "...should i go integrated or seperates..."Yes. | |
| Help an old man out Very interesting question. The Gallos are known for their good bass response IIRC and a well respected loudspeaker. I don’t think the NAD will take you where you want to go and would be a side step. Class A/B amps are really the kings of good bass... | |
| Why does bi-amping speakers sound better? I’m a long time Infinity loudspeaker owner. I think mono blocks (not bridged stereo amps) work the best and is the cleaner set-up. One set of quality speaker cables, less equipment, and less to go wrong and better channel separation. Simple system... | |
| Primaluna Prologue Premium CDP A lot of players heat up the discs pretty good. Normal stuff, I say. |
