| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @kijanki No, I am saying just the opposite. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @kiganki "then amp that oscillates was likely designed with shortcuts to improve specifications (or poorly designed).". It is obvious you know nothing about Odyssey amps. They are more honest than most audio manufacturers. Visit them at one ... | |
| Am I dreaming? @mofimadnessWell, it certainly is for me | |
| So many integrated options -- McIntosh 8900, Levinson 585, Lyngdorf 2170, Anthem STR, I have an older McIntosh integrated with a great phono stage and dac. The dac isn't upgradable but I also use one of their SACD players so that didn't matter to me. The Mac will be the last integrated you buy and it will hold its value as wel... | |
| How to STOP PayPal from consistent breaking and breaching privacy. I have done over 100+ transactions with PayPal from $10.00 up to $7500.00 without ever a hitch. I do have one of their business debit cards but only use it for shipping what I sold here. | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and What Bookshelf Speakers I second the JBL, they are a Rock speaker and very tube friendly. Harbeth speakers are not really designed for Rock. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? When I bought an Odyssey amp years ago, I was warned NOT to use the Goertz flat cables because they would put the amp into oscillation. | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions I would go with the same brand cable. I had bad luck mixing speaker cables on a pair of bi-wired speakers. The mids and highs seemed disconnected from the bass. | |
| Used Sonus Faber vs. New Entry level SF? Since the SF seem to have the same house sound, I would definitely go used. You get so much more for the money. Newer drivers do not always mean more musical. | |
| Am I dreaming? I recently retired and I too went the McIntosh route. A McIntosh integrated may be just what you need. If you go with Mac, make sure it has the output transformers, as the cheaper ones don't have that feature and sound less like a Mac. I bought... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps I own mostly McIntosh, made in Binghamton, NY for the last 70 years or so. I do own GE Triton References and Triton 1 speakers, both Made In China, but the company is American owned and I never heard of any of their stuff catching fire. With the T... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps I have 2 friends that own Prima Luna. One has the high powered integrated and the other has 2 dialog mono blocks and a Dialog preamp and BOTH systems have been 100% reliable and they sound incredible. The friend with the mono blocks is using Vienn... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps I had a yaqin back in 2005. It caught fire and I came close to losing everything. It was a cheap piece of junk and the amp had sharp edges all over it. Cut my hands on it as well. Bought it brand new off the ebay seller in Hong Kong or perhaps Chi... | |
| What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? and an empty wallet. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Today I listened to The Who "Live At Leeds, Deluxe Edition" and Nirvana "Unplugged". |
