| Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14? "I think I’m most interested in the imaging and the details on the highs. Theres a little muddiness in the midrange but that’s not bothersome."Of all the components, your current preamp is the strongest piece with regards to the above qualities. ... | |
| My Onkyo NR-905 Receiver is making my speakers chirping. What are your digital sources and how is the signal routed (transport to dac)? Does the noise happen with just digital sources, or analog as well? If you're not sure, get a cd/dvd player that has analog rca outs, and plug it into an analog input o... | |

| need your help for sony ubp-x800 Take it back and get something with analog outputs. For $300 they should have at least given you a way to connect it to your stereo. | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 akg_caI was reading through The Chronicles of Narnia and came across this."It’s amazing! What’s even better is that the price of the system with the Model 5As and the VT-100 is under half the cost of the Ref 600s alone! Since this discovery, we ... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 "My question is less about what equipment and integration issues (that would a whole, complicated discussion alone) but rather other folks experiences who have tried this and do they feel they got substantial benefit from an extra half octave a... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 Subs work best with full range speakers, but you have give them the same attention you would give any other part of the system. I'm not saying this is you, but more often than not, someone will put a nice system together, and then buy subs as an a... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? "Your admonishment to be "really careful" was needlessly scary. Dick"I think you were the only one that was scared. You do seem to be shaken up over all this. If you actually had one of these amps, you would know why I recommend caution. You can ... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? "The answer is nothing. If you had a separate passive "preamp" it would still have to be connected to the amp. No one here would make that connection with two solid pieces of bare wire as is commonly done on integrated amps like the Creek tha... | |
| Aesthetix vs ARC "I think it’s unfair to compare the Ref5SE to the Calypso Signature because of the price difference ($13k v. $7k); a fairer comparison would be the Calypso Eclipse to the Ref5SE (~$10k v. $13k)."I don't see why that would be unfair. System match... | |

| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? "Are you saying the pre is passive? "Yes. They do make a card that will give you a line stage on 1 input, but one of the main reasons to buy the 5350 is for the passive. | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? Don't fool with it. The 5350 doesn't have a preamp, so you have to be really careful. | |

| Retermination Services in NYC John from Audio Connection can terminate cables. I don't know how complicated a termination he can do, but I trust him. JPS Labs is on Long IS. Looking at the price of his cables, I would say Suffolk County. I you can't find anyone local, Cable Co... |
