Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC
Thanks for the great responses on this thread. I definitely want to try a passive. I have arranged to borrow a simple volume pot to put in my system to see if the gain is sufficient. If it is, then I will pursue a better one to try out. I would lo... 
Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC
Thanks to all for the replies. I have been reading the massive LS Attenuator thread with great interest. (I will probably get to the end of it by 4th of July). I would love to try it but the only catch for me is that I need a remote control.I thin... 
Class D or Hybrid Amp for Fritz Rev 7 speakers
After doing some research, I narrowed it down to the nCore 400 or the Rogue hybrid amps (Medusa/Hydra). I really wanted to hear the nCore 400 but I found a very nice deal on the Medusa and went with that. I am very happy with the choice. It seems... 
Class D or Hybrid Amp for Fritz Rev 7 speakers
Excuse my ignorance for the double post. I am fairly computer literate but cannot figure out how to send a PM. Per Strateahed's post, I am interested in exploring a 3rd party assembly on a nCore400. Can you please point me to a reputable assembly ... 
Class D or Hybrid Amp for Fritz Rev 7 speakers
Thanks again for the comments. Great recommendations. The Ncore 400 idea is very intriguing. I have read a bit about them but will have to do more research. 
Class D or Hybrid Amp for Fritz Rev 7 speakers
Thanks for the comments on your experience with W4S and the Carbon 7s. This is very helpful. I am sure that the W4S stuff is very good but I have heard the same comments in many different places about the ICE modules. Right now, I am leaning stron... 
Class D or Hybrid Amp for Fritz Rev 7 speakers
Thanks for the comments. On paper, a Class D power amp and tube preamp makes a lot of sense. I love the idea of building one but am not sure about the time commitment and would also be learning to solder on YouTube! 
Recurring Channel Loss on Power Amps
I don't post much but I did want to resurrect this thread to thank all of the folks who responded. After several more blown fuses and another blown channel on an amp, I figured out the problem. The amp was on the same circuit as the TV and my othe... 
Rega DAC RCA cable recommendations?
I am just beginning to wade into this so thanks again for your insights. 
Rega DAC RCA cable recommendations?
Thanks for the recommendation. I will look at them and probably give them a try. Thanks again. 
Totem Storm sub vs PSB HD10 ?
I have the Storm that I have integrated with Celestion SL6si's. It works great for me. 
ProAc Studio 100 vs. Proac 1SC vs. Harbeth P3ESR
Thanks for the responses. I appreciate hearing from people who have experience with these. I am not sure what I am going to do but I think I got some insight. I would love to hear the Harbeth but don't know if I will have that option. Thanks again. 
Mission 753 Floorstanders?
I bought these while living in Greece after just graduating from college in 1992. Somehow I ended up buying the Missions and Celestion SL6si's within 6 months of each other. I still listen to the Celestions and have not bought anything since. It's... 
Mission 753 Floorstanders?
Interesting. Thanks for the comments. My wife does not want Floorstanders in our living room so they are consigned to the basement for now. I haven't listened to them in a long time but remember them as being good on a lot of different types of mu... 
Hi Fi Dealers in NYC - where to find them?
I have to work on a fairly limited budget so am definitely not a big fish for these stores. That being said, CSA Audio in Montclair has been very very friendly to me and has good stuff. Years ago, I had several good experiences with Stereo Exchang...
