| KT 150 failure What failed? The tube is microphonic, something got loose. | |
| Basic Questions I'll keep it simple. The levels of equipment performance are: Receivers, Integrateds, Separates with stereo amps, then Separates with mono amps. The better your preamp is the better your system will be. P.S. The Parasound A21 is a fine amp. | |
| ATC P1 Pro amp vs. Parasound JC-5 amp What about the Parasound A21+ for a more budget friendly solution? | |
| Cornwall IV or La Scala vs the big boys LaScalas are very lively horn loudspeakers. The type of sound all movie houses had back in the 60s. I don't think they are comparable to the loudspeakers you listed. | |
| American Music Awards I don’t even bother anymore. I guess I'm still living in the past when you would see all kinds of different music/performers on a music award show. Those days are gone and if you don't like RAP or low-quality popular music, there will be nothing f... | |
| VTL MB-450 or Manley studio 440 input voltage modification Did you call Manley? | |
| Why are there so many used B&W speakers for sale. Mass market loudspeakers that people enjoy and many upgrade by moving up the line. | |
| Klipsch Speakers The drivers used in Klipsch loudspeakers are not very sophisticated/expensive, you cannot expect them to sound as good as some very well-designed modern drivers. It sounds like you don't like what you are hearing and in that case, it might be time... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Very few statement systems have powered drivers with the exception of low frequency drivers in some cases. I can't say I ever heard a powered studio monitor that made my jaw drop, they are really made to be working loudspeakers not home playback s... | |
| Rear speakers, generally of lesser quality? In stereo listening, the weakest pair will be the top level of your system. I think the same idea holds in multichannel systems. Weakest link and all that. | |
| Types of Audiophiles I just dig listening to tunes but I'm not a music freak, I just like listening to music. | |
| New TT vs Cartridge/isolation upgrade New table and cart. | |
| I need an Audio Detective @erik_squires Erik has it right, disregard my first post. | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k BTW: OP, I just wanted to add that your next level upgrade would not be an active crossover but instead would be a pair of mono block amps. | |
| I need an Audio Detective No clue really because I don't know what your preamp/amp/receiver/controller is. Most likely is that the control unit is switching inputs when it detects the DAC. That is often something that can be turned off. |
