| great little speakers Definitely any of the 3/5a is good match for the small room. However, the best extention is not there. I'm extremely pleased with my ATC SCM10 passive. | |
| The best way to isolate my subs from the floor? I use 3 inch dia solid aluminum legs. I then put 1" spike under each 6 inches tall cylinder. 1/2 inch Rubber feet between the speakers and each Al legs. Depends on what's your dimension. I used total of 60% surface area of bottom of the speaker as... | |
| Spk cable with deep,lush,spacious sound.... Stealth Ultimate Ribbon should work good for your requirement. Nice warm top, full mids with good chewy bottom. The AZs are punchy but less musical than the stealth. Cardas seems to sag. XLO is a bit on the grainy side. Overall, NBS Master probabl... | |
| Ever gone from seperates to an integrated? First of all, sound preference is very subjective.Maybe your Karan is as good as it gets for an integrated. However, there are a lot more upside on Seperated. Sorry to hear that you didn't find the right match to your taste. Class A and price mean... | |
| Ever gone from seperates to an integrated? Definitely downgrade in sound from Sep to Int. | |

| Tube or SS preamp use with SS amp??? check the previous threadshttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1072843320&openflup&5&4#5 | |
| Best cable to use with meridian 508.24? I found the Stealth M-21 Special is the best source cable and it will fit in with any preamp. Second choice is home made which is better sounding than my 3 choice Audio Note AN-Vz. Forth choice is NBS signature but a bit too tight to my preference... | |
| Speaker upgrade itch Opinions 2500$used Geoffgarcia, IMHO, I can almost 90 percent sure that speaker change will not improve much in your current setup. The Tyler Acoustics reference monitors has pretty good transparent sound. The problem lies in your system setup. If your amp source is... | |
| Speakers: What's MOST important to you?... Dawgbyte, how you audition the speakers is very important. You need to remember that what you hear at the store may sound very different when you bring them home. Room acoustics, equipment matching and your mood also vary. If the salesman doesn't ... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? A typo here. It should have been "top 5% of SS preamp"Another thing I would like to add is: There is almost nothing new in SS preamp. Most of them use JFET and Op-amp to amplify the signal. However, many manufactures are more focus on the new gene... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? The REAL advantage of 8X10 is super sharp image ( thx to German Optics.) and Super Large negative size. In photo equipment, the lens and image output size are the things we care for. It has absolutely nothing to do with camera body. You can use a ... | |
| Speaker upgrade itch Opinions 2500$used IMHO, speakers are not your issue here. You should look into possible preamp/amp and interconnect upgrade and power cord down grade in price. What speaker cables are you using?Believe or not, all these matters.For preamp, if you like the octal tub... | |
| Tube Preamps with Bass? Bigkidz, if you're just looking for the bass slam in preamp, you should consider ARC LS-5 MKIII.It has excellent top to bottom frequency response like no others. However, the only setback is -- You need ALL balanced components to use it because th... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? Once bitten by tube and can't go back to transistors.SS more accurate is overrated. I agree that it can have lower distortion level but music is not based on distortion level. I recalled that amp rating was based on distortion level back in the 80... |
