| You Want Affordable Hi-Fi, try this set-up. Which tubes are you using in the Sphinx? Stock for now but I have a pair of Gold Lyons on standby. I might have some NOS RCAs if I dig around a little....maybe a few others? | |
| You Want Affordable Hi-Fi, try this set-up. russ69, Danny from GR Research has a really interesting assessment of the Lintons on his youtube channel, and what he did to make them even better. At about more than half the cost of the loudspeaker but he knows what he is doing. | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? I don't really know but Cary has made those amps for a long time and I have never heard anyone say they are problematic. Generally speaking some people have trouble with tube amps and other amps by mismatching and over-driving the product. I don't... | |
| Gee, it turns out Magnepan WILL survive Wendel Diller. I’m thinking they are so very busy that the change was implemented to streamline production or a switch to better material availability. With a 6 month plus backlog, there is no reason to change the things. Magnepan won't ever say what a change en... | |
| Separates question/advice Anyone here have experience comparing the different Triangle models? A little. Right now you want to buy something in the Esprit EZ , Genese, or higher line. | |
| Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A Is this going into the room shown in your system page? Because you'll need to get your speaker placement sorted if you want it to sound right. I'm going to recommend Triangle Trios. Above your price point but will work with the low power Audiolab. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna I'm considering swapping out the amp to a Ps Audio BHK250 I have not heard a BHK250 but you can expect more punch, power, and perhaps some clarity. Worth a try. | |
| Accuphase integrateds…are pre outs active full time to use for sub? I think you can use a Y connector with one leg coming out of the integrated, one leg going back into the integrated and one leg going to the sub. | |
| Separates question/advice Upgrade your Triangles to Antals, Trios, or Quartets. | |
| Lateral or upward upgrade? I'm sure some knowledgeable people will chime in but for TTs and carts, I use my dealer. If you have a good dealer, tell them what direction you want your system to go sonically and most likely they will sell you what you need. Without knowing the... | |
| May you help speakers amps I wonder why a pre-amp Because it is the heart of a system. I don't think I'd want to hear the BGW without one. | |
| Question about amplifiers The Adcom 555 is a fine amp and will work great. No worries. | |
| Question about upgrading my SACD player The Emotiva stuff is holding you back. Replace the preamp first. Put a Kimber PBJ on the CD player and let us know how it works out. | |
| May you help speakers amps I don’t use a pre-amp. Well that is quite a collection of gear. You should probably be telling us what works well together, rather than us telling you. Not sure if you have Vandersteen 2s or 3s. If it was me I'd run the Vandersteen 3s, the BGW... | |
| Subwoofer Amplifier Guidance Doesn't the F12 already have a built in amp? If so, the pre outs would work. Best way in your case. |
