| Comments-Pure Silver Sound Cables / Interconnects? In my opinion,For high efficiency speakers, you don't need a large gauge of wire. Anything larger than 12 gauge for 8 ft pair is overkill. Lizwire speaker cable like bogdan and interconnects are good choice for the money. I would at least make my ... | |
| Best Stereo or Mono Amps under $1000 McCormack Power DNA-1 or McCormack Power DNA-1 DeluxeIn my opinion they sound more musical than Brystons. | |
| Buzzing in my speakers w/ new amp Mhubbard, the ground design in each amp is different. Some is more sensitive than the other. The same cable will not make hum noise in my second system.Not sure if you have any radio shack grade of cheap interconnects but you can try that and see ... | |
| Buzzing in my speakers w/ new amp Mhubbard, what interconnect are you using? Does it have shielding? I have the same issue with my amp that it only works with certain interconnects and not all the interconnects. The one that works are NBS and Audio Note.Many manufacture don't shie... | |
| Amp blowing fuses Sometimes a bad tube can also blow a fuse. I had an amp that was working fine until it blow the fuse one day. I replaced the fuse and I saw the rectifier tube was very unstable and it blow the fuse again. I replaced the retifier tube and problem s... | |
| A phono preamp for less than $1200?? Audio research PH3 SE.If I were you, I'll get the counterpoint SA-5000 and get rid of Fi Y line stage. You'll be surprise how good the SA-5000 line stage sound. | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? McIntosh MR-71 with Richard Modefferi upgrade. The original MR-71 is very nice sounding. The reception, sound stage and frequency response go one step further after the mod. It sounds better than my $1000 CD player.However, the broadcast station i... | |
| Quietest 6922 type tube? Before you buy from Upscale, also checkout the original (from the 70's) Tesla E88CC (6922) and ECC88 (6DJ8). Both sounds exactly like the Telefunken E88CC and ECC88. I have both the telefunken and the Tesla (not JJ Tesla) and I can't tell them apa... | |
| Affordable separate vs. high end receiver – which For HT system, I would go with receiver. I had a top of line digital preamp + 5 channel Byrston amp for 5.1 setup and it's just okay and not much better than a $3000 receiver. For music enjoyment, I would get two channel amp which that's what I en... | |
| Getting started with integrated-advice. If you're looking at Soliloquy 5.0 monitors then you should consider vintage EL84 integrated amps. All my friends who heard my Daystrom 282 ( same as Heathkit SA-2 except looks more modern.) in that power range got blown away by its sound. I bypas... | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? 1961 Jensen TF-3s. Excellent sounding without any problem with EL84 amps I own. | |
| Phono Stage to replace Sonic Frontiers Phono 1 If I were you, I'll get a full function preamp like counterpoint SA-5000 with a seperate amp like Mac MC240 | |
| Best amp match for Dynaco PAS-3x? The amp selection is all depends on the speaker selection. Tannoys and Cantons are usually around 86db to 89db. Therefore, you'll need at least 35Watt/ch to make them sing. I have no problem matching my PAS-3 to any tube amp I own from 6Watt SET t... | |
| Beginners Tube Amp Recommendations I wouldn't say tube amp are high maintenance. I do own 4 tube amps and they never had any problem or require any re-tubing in the past 4 years.Depends on how much power you're looking to get and how much bass you want and which output tube you wan... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Tubegroover, I do understand room makes a big difference. That would be the minimum requirement to enjoy the music. That's why many performer care so much where they perform. If we do put room acoustic as part of system evaluation then I would wei... |
