| B&W Matrix 803 wire termination for tweeter Is there enough of a contact or wire to solder on? | |
| Bogen Integrated Tube Amp Model 10A NO FUSE?? Older designs seldom had fuse protection or a grounded power cord. Why? They just didn't. | |
| if someone can help me...... What source component are you using? Yes this. Your preamp puts out plenty of volts to drive your powerful amp so you should not have to turn it up a lot to get the system going. | |
| Desktop ESLs Magnetic-planar speakers are not electrostats. Yes I know. So.....how about mini maggies? | |

| Cornwall IV – new amp vs crossover upgrade ...but my Rogue Sphinx might be as good as it gets for your system. I quoted myself but I just wanted to add that on first glance you might think the Rogue is too cheap to match with the Cornwalls but it’s almost a perfect match, tube front end... | |
| switching to stand mount speakers Get a small tower, same footprint as a monitor on a stand. I have MMGs and LS-50s. The LS-50s are in the garage, not good enough for inside work. Not sure what to get on the lower end, shop around a little. | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile I put some CBS Hytron tubes in the input stage side and it really made the preamp a whole lot better. When I read the Stereophile test, the first thought I had is why they didn't roll some tubes. | |
| Digital separates or all in one music hub Keep your digital sources and your amplification separate. Integrated amps and separate components will always be valuable. Digital is still being developed and always changing. Don't buy any amplification that has built in digital, it will be obs... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? @2psyop Hard to argue with that advice. | |
| Cornwall IV – new amp vs crossover upgrade Yes I would say a nice tube amp and some solid copper speaker wires like AQ Type 4. Then work on horn damping and maybe knock down the tweeter if needed. They are not a very warm sounding speaker stock, more accurate than warm. A tube amp with the... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? the Tannoy can be more power hungry than their specs might suggest. This is true and 25 or 30 watts is not a whole bunch of power. It works for me but I seldom play loud. | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? Probably the amp going from class A to class AB. The A21+ is a much better and stronger amp than the A23, you will be happy with that one. | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? but runs out of gas with my digital (AMR DP777SE).... I'm thinking you AMR isn't putting out enough volts to drive the amp or the quiet background compared to the analog set-up makes it seem like it isn't as loud? | |
| Schiit Loki + as Loudness Button Only I would think the 4 band would work fine for this application. You just need a little boost on each end, should do the job. |
