| Need Amp or next component upgrade advice A lot of things come to mind. One, if the Black Ice repair is the guys in Maryland (the old Jolida importer), I had bad luck with them. Long lead time, said no time to look at it. Then said they didn’t touch it. I got it back to look at and it was... | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? "In the chaos and frenzy for something ever newer nobody stopped to ask if it was actually better." It's better in a lot of ways but some of them are not related to the sound of the audio output. | |
| My list of compact subs with room correction. I had the Velodyne subwoofer management system but I didn't like the sound of the corrected room. Not sure why. I was in a small room, perhaps the room naturally had it own sound and when you changed it, it was unnatural sounding? I need to invest... | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? I'm busted. | |
| Magnepans VS MartinLogan for detail and sound staging Not sure how the Peachtree AMP sounds but If you want more from the Maggies get one with the ribbon tweeter. A big Martln-Logan would cost much more. I'm going to assume you have your 1.7s pulled well out into the room and away from the back wall.... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes Have you seen the new FINAL brand ESLS. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb90bc-final-electrostatic-esl-hybrids-m3-m5-m7-innovative-design-exquisite-high-resolution-planars | |
| Electrostatics and tubes "Obviously a 125w tube amp is no match to the power that Parasound puts out." Not sure you are hearing me. Those will with work with newer Martin Logans. The 250 WPC Parasound was in a small room. Magnepan was using 1000 WPC mono blocks. Not sure... | |
| Seeking Hi-Fi DJ for Daughter's Wedding. Sound reinforcement is a different animal than home HI-FI. You won't find that. | |
| Electrostatics and tubes I found that the newer ML ESL are very efficient. I had no trouble running my EM ESLs with a 25 or 45 watt tube amp. On the other hand Magneplaners need real power. I ran those with a Parasound A21 after trying a couple of tube amps. Magnepan does... | |
| Monos, Stereo or Multi-Ch for HT and Music I’m a dedicated 2 channel guy. You have fine loudspeakers but your Marantz is holding you back. I would get a Parasound A21+ (or multiples if you need them) and a really good preamp/control center. That will take your system to a new level. The L... | |
| Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps? The Cary SLP-98 F1 pre was a fine system when matched to the Mini-Monos. Or for a more budget system I might want to try the QS preamp. Mike Sanders knows good sound. | |
| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used Quicksilver Mini-Mono or Mid-Mono. I personally think they are the finest amps I ever owned. | |
| Are all streamers the same? All equipment has it's own sonic signature. Some more than others. Long term evaluation is the only way to judge. | |
| Subwoofer Advice ."@russ69 are you saying move on from the MLs and hook up with some Infinity RS1B towers or Tektons?" No, the ML13A are fine speakers. My brother ran ML Requests for a long time. A stereo pair of towers does amazing things. You will get entirely ... | |
