| Grado Statement 1 Jazzgene, are you able to load your Statement at 450? What differences vs 47k do you hear? | |
| How to shop for speakers? I would second the comment above on knowing your room; what size is your room and what limitations (if any) do you have on speaker placement? All of those speakers you mentioned are very good; very good in the right room... Second, I also agree wi... | |
| VTL ST 150, Audio Research VT 100, mk. II Difficult choice and depends to a large extent on the sound you are looking for. The ARC will give you a bigger, more powerful and dynamic sound overall, a bigger stage front to back and side to side. Also, better bass and more grunt. The VTL will... | |
| NAD C270 vs. NAD C272 I would bet that the C272 is just a little more powerful and dynamic than the C270. However, instead of looking for a C272 I would recommend stepping up just a bit more to the later model, C275BEE. I have this stereo amp and it has plenty of power... | |
| NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000 Definitely go with the NAD over the Yamaha. Most all of the NAD gear I have used and heard over the years was a bargain compared to their cost and their performance was excellent. | |
| what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass Another possibility would be the Cary 500 MB's; I use these on my Magnepan 3.6's and they sound very good, solid bass and a very tube-like top end and midrange. 500 watts into 8ohms and 1000 watts into 4ohms; they never seem to strain or run out o... | |
| Cowboy Junkies on Classic Records Trinity Sessions Have you tried the Trinity Revisited on the Diverse Records label? FANTASTIC!http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/59104/Cowboy_Junkies-Trinity_Revisited-180_Gram_Vinyl_RecordHighly recommended!!! | |
| Warming-Up Amps w/o Inputs or Speakers Attached Thanks; I like the idea of the dummy load resistors. Will definitely get a set of those. | |
| good tube amp match for maggie 1.7's? Difficult if not impossible task at that price point I think. Maggies demand so much current and power that it will be hard to find a tube amp truly up to the task IMO... I use a set of Cary 500 MB (SS) on my 3.6's and I think that they sound GREA... | |
| Hovland HP-100 Users No, I use VTL 125 MB's (EL-34's) on my KHorns and a pair of Cary 500MB's on my Magnepans. | |
| Hovland HP-100 Users I've listened to the Opal before, it's a very good piece. I may have to re-visit it when I move on from the Hovland. | |
| Hovland HP-100 Users Well, it could just be the quality (or lack thereof) of the NOS Mullards I have been getting. I think that I will try the Sophia Electric this time; they are half the price of the EAT...I love the Hovland too; been looking at the Audio Research Re... | |
| Inherent Difference - 12AU7 and a 12AT7 Sorry,I meant, why don't they make a 12AU7 or a 12AT7... | |
| Inherent Difference - 12AU7 and a 12AT7 And, wonder why EAT does not make an AX7 or AU7? | |
| Inherent Difference - 12AU7 and a 12AT7 I'm sure that it is okay to swap between the AU7 and AT7; Hovland confirmed that for me several years ago; when I asked them what the differences were they said 'try it'and let them know what I heard and liked...I think that I will just buy one of... |
