| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Nice ISO hehe. I just think there better be gold in thems monoblocks to justify the super high price. Tubes $300-400, circuit boards and wiring $20, power transformers $1000, metal case $100. Where is the rest of the 15,000 going to? | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Yeah different technology but still seems like companies are ripping people off with tube monoblocks. If $10000 each and you need two, I'd rather get $18000 gold bar to hang around my neck and $2000 used amp haha | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Im shocked at how much tube monoblocks go for new. I don't get how it is justified for makers to charge 3000-10000 for such a small thing. Compared to SS amps that are massive and with more parts. I guess tube monoblocks have solid gold power sect... | |

Mind you, I was looking at the new ones in the stores so they ... | |

| Mac Mini + 5.1 Processor + Butler TDB 5150 + Logan I wasn't sure where to look, but I found out the Mac Mini's 1/8" digital output can use the optical cable with adapter, then it can hook up to a processor. There doesn't seem to be a optical to rca cable so I can forego the processor, but seems to... | |
| Can an EL34 tube be replaced with a KT88 or 6550? Thanks for the advice. I think i'll just get a quad of either fat body Electro Harmonix EL34, Mullard EL34 or JJ Telsa...heck maybe i should just get em all and see what characteristics they have. My amp does have auto bias, as I took it to a repa... | |

It has a contact link, but there is no email or phone listed. I thought maybe the KT88 amps were more expensive mainly due to the higher cost in th... |
