| Integrated amplifier search I’ve had tubes before. Anthem pre amp, pathos classic one, and antique sound labs integrated. I’m sure I’m missing a couple. They didn’t do much for me and I’m convinced good solid state gear can go toe to toe with tubes. I appreciate all all the ... | |
| Integrated amplifier search I’m willing to go up in price. My wife has tolerated my audio habit long enough and I don’t listen critically nearly as much as I use to, so going down in size is no problem for me. The Sony has intrigued me for a while. I don’t remember if it ... | |
| Integrated amplifier search The dealer 2.5 hours from me has the nova on demo. I could go listen there. I don’t follow audiogon nearly like I used to, do they ever pop up used? | |
| Integrated amplifier search Caphill, thanks for the feedback, exactly what I was looking for. I don’t have any Naim dealers near me so I either need to drive a ways, or wait for a used one to pop up. I doubt they show up used often if they are new.the Parasound does have a... | |
| Integrated amplifier search The Naim is a great suggestion. That seems like it might be right up my alley as far as specs and size goes. Price is a little higher than I’m hoping for though.ive not owned Naim gear before, but I know it’s well reviewed. I supposed I’m somew... | |
| Integrated amplifier search while I can appreciate where you are coming from, searching for another Integrated isn’t about upgrading. I want to maintain the sonic quality I have now (which I quite like - regardless of system quality there will always be a weak link somewher... | |

| MF A300 or A3.2 for my von schweikert vr2? I've owned the A3, A3.2, and A308. The A308 was the best, but I currently own the 3.2 and really enjoy it. I bought it about two months ago and bought it for less than $600. So don't pay 950 for the one you are looking at. | |
| Building an audio room - 12x22 - electrical plan? It's not code to run 220 power in a residential setting? I'm curious where you got your information. Electric dryers, water heaters, and ranges all run on 220 power. There is no code that says you can't have 220 power in your house. Or even three ... | |
| DIY/Home Brew Taking A Risk Depends on your situation. Woodworking is my forte. I've spent years studying exotic veneering and cabinet construction. I don't do crossover design. But, over the years I have met a few people that I really trust to do impeccable crossover work. ... | |
| Hum in left channel - Parasound Z He feels it was unlikely that the attenuator did any damage, since it is strictly passive. When I told him I would likely take it to get fixed locally, he offered to send the schematic to the person doing the repair work. | |
| Hum in left channel - Parasound Z I called Parasound and talked directly with Richard Scrham. Gotta love a president that answers the phone and talks directly with customers. | |
| Hum in left channel - Parasound Z A couple other notes. I used a cheater plug to lift the ground, no change. The volume of the hum is not impacted to the gain on the amplifier. In other words, I turn it up, the music gets louder, the hum stays the same.Thinking of dropping by an e... | |
| Hum in left channel - Parasound Z Thank you for all the feedback.I'm using a custom set of speakers design by Clearwarve. The speakers have performed without issue, and I swapped speaker cables to cause the hum to move.It is only in one channel of the amplifier. Not both. I plugge... |
