| Polk L100s - tube integrated recommendation I had the Cronus Magnum 1 integrated and did not like the presentation with the supplied KT120 tubes. There always seemed to be a little almost inaudible hash to the sound I did not like. | |
| What’s on Your Radar for Black Friday/Digital Monday? I just bought a new Ultra series monitor from Dell listed on their website as early Black Friday specials. It was $339.00 marked down to $249.00, then I used my Dell cash I had gotten from a previous purchase and total cost was $170, delivered by... | |
| Experience with applying Kilmat to Cornwall IV Horns? I would let the speakers thoroughly break in before screwing around with the speakers' innards. I would think that if the speakers really needed the damping, Klipsch would have already done it. Just because a few clowns made You Tube videos, doe... | |

| Animals 2018 Mix LP - Mistracking? The stereo SACD layer of the reissued Animals is from the 2018 reissue. The part of the song you mention has no rattles or other such noises on the song. Oops, just noticed you said vinyl version only. Oh well, I tried to help. | |
| Pioneer PC-1000 MK2 Member Chakster would know but he seems to have disappeared from the forums. I know he lives in Russia. I hope Putin hasn’t sent him to the Russian Front🙁 | |

Even though almost all Mac equipment has both balanced and unbalanced connectors, they are not truly balanced. If you look inside th... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I use a SVS PB2000 pro sub with my JBLL100 Classic speakers and the single sub really made my system go from pretty good to incredible. Like others have said, their software to integrate the sub is excellent and easy to use. You can make adjustm... | |

| Little Giant NOS DAC mini review @vonhelmholtz, You beat me to it. Since when is any audible distortion acceptable? | |
| Speaker upgrade @doyle3433 , I am using JBL L100 Classic speakers in my office system. They are on the dedicated stands, and I am driving them with a McIntosh Integrated amp. The sound was very good. Then I added a single SVS sub, and the sound went from very go... | |
| Upgrading tube for a MAC 275 mk5 what are you using? Most of the Mac people I have spoken with prefer the KT88 Gold Lion tubes. The consensus is that they make the amp sound its best. I haven't heard the amp in that configuration, but I did not care for the Gold Lions in my C2500 tube preamp. I l... | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power When Pangea first came out, I bought a few of their cords as they were supposedly half price from AA. After putting them in my system, the loss of dynamics was very obvious. I sent them back and went with all Shunyata power cords which have staye... | |
