| Tube guy gets a B&K: tubes vs solid state I would recommend the very best tube pre-amp you can afford. In my experience, I've come to believe that the pre-amp is truly the "heart" of the system. Amp/speaker must be proper match after that. Pre and amp must match up properly impedance wise... | |
| McIntosh owners - please help me decide ona preamp Do you really need to ask...the $14K solution is the way to go. Then start saving for those $10 cable elevators ;-) | |
| Best way to run in your Cable Elevators? As Drrubin said, its a spoof or a troll. Take a look at his posts. | |
| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? Mapman- Under "normal" audiophile rules (an oxymoron if ever I wrote one) I'd agree, but my HP amp (Ray Samuels Hornet) also has a DAC and since it's just for occassional night use, I'm gonna keep it small and simple. Thx for the advice tho, and y... | |
| Sub Woofer Hum... This One Puzzles Me Al can usually sort this out, but if all else fails, try calling RV. If you're not asking him a stupid question, he's usually very helpful. | |
| Deep, musical, in-wall subwoofer Why limit yourself? This [url=http://curiousphotos.blogspot.com/2009/12/biggest-subwoofer-in-world.html]one[/url] will do 10 hz. Definitely a DIY job but what the hay? | |

| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? The Touch's analog out, however, is far superior to the Duet'sThx, that's what i was looking for, I'm using the Duet as a source for my bedroom headphone system. | |
| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT Bobo7- My apologies for contributing the a high noise floor. | |
| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? Agree w Smholl. Anyone have any thoughts on diffs btwn Duet and Touch we used w/o DAC? | |
| The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned? Syntax said Stacked Krigerrands LOL. Maybe your sense of humor was too subtle for me or doesn't survive the translation to English, but that is VERY FUNNY | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... Jmcgrogan2 said-I have a feeling that the B&K will be a disappointment, as it is far from the best SS and going back to SS after tubes is not easy to begin with.Yeah, that was where I was going. I'd call them entry level high end while the DNA... | |
| Is tonearm bias a compromise, maybe a myth? "Like a virgin". Not the same thing ;-) | |
| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT +1 Mateored & HifiharvRemember, Bobo7- that it was WARREN Buffet (not Jimmy) who said that of course there is class warfare in this country; the rich are waging war on the rest of the country and they are kicking our asses! And that it was the... | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but there is little comparison btwn a B&K and a stock DNA, let alone a modified one. |
