| 4 amplifiers to drive 1 pair of speakers? I would not want to do this to drive a pair of speakers if you need more power from the 300b amplifier there were some amp makers that made push pull 300b amps that were quite good. | |
| Japanese Audio The japanese love vintage american high efficiency speakers and they make the low powered tube amps just for them also they voice their electronics and cartridges for the classic american designs. When you hear a system setup such as this you will... | |
| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? You can never go wrong with a real good rega table like the p9 or p25. | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? I usually always go with RCA cables because of the usual increased gain with balanced cables. I have a lot of high sensitivity speakers and RCA just work better for me in my system. | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? My favorite are the electrovoice t 35 series tweeters from the 50s they are truly amazing low distortion tweeters but they must be the 16 ohm model. | |
| Speaker Cables I would use a set of kimber tc cables with tc custom jumbers a lot of sound for not a lot of money. | |

If it is a hard surface floor try a heavy area rug in fr... | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? You are lucky to have help enjoy that fact most people do not show much if any interest at all in good quality music and definitely do not even notice changes in the sound nor do they really care to even listen to quality music we are a rare dying... | |
| Why not more popular? It is hard to make a speaker that is wanted and cherished by all audiophiles there are just far too many options for that to happen at this time of audio history. | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I can always hear class d amplification because it is so tonally off that it is like fingers scratching on a chalkboard to me. | |
| I must be old No you are not stupid vinyl is a more interactive and fun medium and there are a lot of great recordings that will never make it to digital but i would say just listen and have fun like what you like. | |
