| Tube Pre amp with tone control suggestions I use a McIntosh C2500 tube preamp with tone controls, love it. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations @chilli42,I am starting with one sub and if I feel it isn’t enough, I will get another. | |
| Static noise from tweeters I would bring it to a good car audio shop. There are so many variables with car audio (I used to be into it big time) that it is hard to diagnose a grounding problem without looking at the wiring. | |
| Upgrading from Martin Logan ESL15a w/Force subs to Wilson Sasha Daw or Alexia 2 w/JL subs I never cared for Conrad-Johnson. I would get the McIntosh C2700 preamp. I have the C2500 and I love it. It’s my last preamp. | |
| Is Nakamichi Receiver 1 and CD Player 2 still worth enough to try and sell? The landfill is your friend. | |
| Vandersteen 3a signature vs Harbeth 30.2 anniversary I would keep the 3A speakers unless you wanted to spring for the Harbeth 40 series. | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? I have an Acoustech digital scale that was on sale for $30.00 regularly $50 from Music Direct. I still have my trusty Shure I bought in the early 70’s. | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! I would take the chance. The guy has a lot of transactions over the years and has been a member for over 20 years. Drive to his house, give him the check and take the merchandise home with you. Simple. | |
| Schiit Freya damage by giving it an electric static discharge on the volume knob. I use a 3 inch square anti static mat that is grounded to my wall receptacle. I touch the mat on the audio rack before I touch any of my delicate equipment. I fried an Audible Illusions preamp once due to static and it wasn’t cheap to fix. | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven vs Heimdahl 2 vs Harmonic Technologies Para S - II I have a pair of Red Dawn interconnects I use for my tuner. I specifically bought it to add a little top end sparkle to the tuner sound. It is brighter than Blue Heaven. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations Thank you to everyone with some really good ideas. Today I ordered a SVS SB2000 Pro 12 inch subwoofer. I should have it within a week and will post about it at that time. I also ordered a cable from Blue Jeans to go from the output 2 on my in... | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations @soix How did you decide between the sealed vs ported sub on the SB2000? | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations Thank you for responding but I don’t think the Kef will work with a couple of 6 inch woofers. Doubtful the bass would go low and deep enough. The JBL speakers have 12 inch woofers, I would think I would need at least an 8 inch woofer as minimum bu... | |
| Magnum Dynalab tuner @tonykay,I sold the MD102t and gave the MD105 Signal Sleuth to sweeten the deal for $750.00. After the person took delivery, he complained he wasn't getting many stations and wanted a refund, said it was defective. I knew it wasn't as I used it ... | |
| M2Tech Young Dac vs Musical Fidelity V-90 Dac I heard the M2tech Young at a audio dealer in central, Ma. Was not too impressed and it looked fugly to boot. That DAC is at least 10-12 years old. There are plenty of newer DAC’s that can be bought used for pennies on the dollar. Why buy someth... |
