| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD The luxman or the large accuphase would be good choices for that speaker they will add a new dimension to the sound over the rega. | |
| mystery muffled mids It is the b&w speakers holding you back they are volume and dynamic limited because of crossover and driver coil saturation you need to switch to a different speaker and your system will come alive. | |
| You pay for it and you get it... Scale and dynamics are all about cubic inches and size you can not get realistic size, scale, or dynamics from small woofers in small cabinets and when you hear a big full range system in the full size cabinet you will not want to hear anything else. | |
| 6922 recommendations for ARC PH7 I would recommend the valvo 6922 6dj8 tubes from the fifties they are my holy grail of 6922 tubes and they are made to a higher standard than all the other variants. They sound absolutely like real music. | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer They probably are with new woofers but with a vintage woofer you can use as large as you want because of the high impedance drivers. The high impedance and large coils and strong magnets allows them to control themselves and not need an amp to con... | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? I would not put a higher value fuse in your gear try to find a vintage fuse supplier they were made a different and more robust way and they sound better too. | |
| Favorite cable brand. My favorites are audio magic, kimber, and cardas they are the best with my gear. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Yeah the impedance rules out 99.9999999 percent of all amplifiers on the planet what a joke. | |
| DIY Speakers There are some good places or new drivers but i would try and find high quality vintage american drivers of either 8 or 16 ohm impedance to make a speaker with you will be amazed at what type of sound you can come up with especially if you can fin... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? If it is working correctly and you are happy do not waste your time or money shipping it because you may never get it back again because of sipping problems/issues because of its size and weight. | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree receiver : harman kardon 330b Turntable: depends on what range of price Cassette deck: I would not have much of an opinion on but the best i have heard is the tandberg | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? The biggest change that helped my vinyl listening was to make a eye height rack or the table and bought a hunt record brush that truly gets the dust and debris off the record. | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? yes for sure they do | |
| Brand Synergy I find that the best systems are mix and match to find the best components of their type around the great amp makers are not the best preamp makers for example. | |
| Silver cables added resolution I think what you mean is that you are hearing more noise from your electronics or in the recording itself with the silver wire in the chain the only thing that you can do is accept the imperfections due to the greater transparency or find more qui... |
