| Ideas on how to improve setup please "...But the Hawks obviously have their limits..." He says he has Staafs not Hawks. | |
| New Magnepan .7s a Quickie Review "...See my review of the .7 at Dagogo.com..."I did just that! | |
| New Magnepan .7s a Quickie Review UPDATE: As Maggie owners are prone to do, I did a little tweaking of my set-up. I keep moving the panels a few inches at a time but I think I have them pretty close now. I also made some solid copper tweeter jumpers and put Gold Lion KT88 tubes in... | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? "...Rogue Audio Tempest is a integrated Amp have you tried the phono input without phono pre amp it will run a MM..."Good call, it's always worth trying, you might like one better than the other. | |
| Ideas on how to improve setup please Your system is good but your speakers are holding you back. Better speakers would move your whole system to another level. | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? Glad we could help out. You don't need tone controls you need a better cartridge. | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? Do you have the MC/MM switch set correctly? plugged into the correct MC/MM connection? A high output MC would go into MM side (I think). | |
| Newbie looking for some help The first reply nails it. | |
| My left speaker emits a slight soft static high pitched noise I have lots of ideas but if you can't hear it at your listening position, don't sweat it. You can drive yourself nuts with this stuff. A lot of systems are not dead quiet if you stick your ear next to the speaker. | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? "...But I would hope he would not go out and buy a phono stage if he already has one... and then connect them together??! ..."It would not be the first time it was done. | |

| Hybrid Tube & SS My personal opinion is that a tube pre with mono block amps is the top of the pile. I prefer tube amps for most things but good SS amps have their place also. A stereo amp would be my second choice. A good tube or SS integrated would be my 3rd cho... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) Long subject but the quickie answer is reduced reflections and better bass. | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? Slow down we need more information. My first question is what model amp do you have with what power tubes? Is your NAD phono pre plugged into the AUX inputs or the PHONO inputs? What cartridge? | |
| Any SS amp recs in the 1-2k price range? Speakers first than amp. |
