Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's
As did Tvad, I heard the Joseph Pulsar's at RMAF. I also thought they were exceptional. In fact, both my friend and I thought they compared favorably to Joseph's $27k top of the line speaker that was playing accross the hall. Derfinitely worth a l... 
Best Balanced Tube Preamplifier
My Cary SLP-05 is awesome, preferred to the Modwright 36.5, which is also excellent. I have heard but not owned VAC and it is the best I have ever heard. If I had the cash, that is what I would own. 
High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier
Check out King Rex. Separates that are smaller than integrated units. Good prices, excellent sound for a intro level components. I heard/saw them at RMAF and was quite impressed. 
Two box preamps: Cary SLP05 vs. Modwright 36.5
Deutsch-how does the Platinum MW TP compare to the non-Platinum MW TP? I have been considering the upgrade. 
Two box preamps: Cary SLP05 vs. Modwright 36.5
AMps are Classe CAM-350 monos, 75 kohms impedance. 
Two box preamps: Cary SLP05 vs. Modwright 36.5
I own the slp-05 and prefer it to the one box MW 36.5, which I have heard on a number of occasions. I run a MW TP into it as well (although not a Platinum version). The CAry has a more lush sound, which I really enjoy. A little more of a classic t... 
40-50w tube amp for Aerial 9
Vary helpful, thanks much.Sorry for having more questions, but I am still learning. Anyway, how can you determine how the rise and fall of impedance for an amp correspond with rise and fall for a speake speaker? 
40-50w tube amp for Aerial 9
I have a basic understanding of how to impedance match a pre and power amp. I do not really understand how impedance works with speakers. Doesn't the power increase with higher impedance? (i.e. amps are often speced as x watts in 4ohms, 2x watts i... 
40-50w tube amp for Aerial 9
Thanks Tvad, you always understand the compatability issues that I do not. And, yes, I will definitely demo in my system. There is a dealer nearby. I just wanted to determine whether it was a waste of time before the demo.BTW, what did you think o... 
Any Opinions on Dehavilland 50A amp?
I just found this...............Dawgcatching, I am considering the 50a to power my Aerial Model 9s, also 90db sensitive. Did the 50a work well for you ? 
Dehavilland Ultraverve 2 vs. Mercury 2/3?
I heard Jim's 50a at RMAF and it was awesome.Highlight of the show. 
Endler stepped attenuator w/Cary active preamp
OK. I have contacted Dan Wright at Modwright about this and he has always been very responsive.One other factor-I am using brand new ics w/no break in (Anti-ICs to be exact). If the ics can be a factor, is it possible that the lack of break in is ... 
Endler stepped attenuator w/Cary active preamp
Thanks. If the Endlers fixed the problem before (albeit w/o the pre), why don't you think it will work now (w/ the pre)?I actually suspect the TP is the problem as the problem was present when used w/o either attenuators or a pre. If so, wouldn't ... 
Endler stepped attenuator w/Cary active preamp
Oh, and the Endlers do not require another set of ics. It plugs into the ic on one end and into an input on the other. 
Endler stepped attenuator w/Cary active preamp
And, where do I put the attenuator? B/w TP and pre or b/w pre and power?
